1964509 - `view-source:` solely renders line numbers for `text/HTML`, excluding all other `text\/.*`s (like `/plain`).

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: View Source, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Mr. Beedell, Roke Julian Lockhart (RJLB)]

Steps to reproduce

1. For /plain, visit https://raw.githubusercontent.com/whatwg/html/88c7d93d0f87e19beadead68f8d2eb28c503a8a8/source#line500.

2. For /Markdown, visit raw.githubusercontent.com/dazeb/markdown-downloader/532bfa37eab361413b0a7ddea2d959ec543b9831/README.md#line40.

Expected results

1. Line numbers should appear.

2. The user should be automatically scrolled to the relevant line.

Actual results

1. view-source: doesn't render line numbers for text/plain (but does for text/HTML).

2. Appending '#line' + $n (like #line10) doesn't scroll to a specific line in text/plain, but does in text/HTML.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: Core & HTML' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Could be improved, but this sounds like an enhancement.
