932468 - Tutorials - Line highlighting does not localize

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

The line highlighting feature is really nice, but only works in English! It's good to have automatic markup when you write “line 123”, but it would be useful to be able to manually set the links. So I can write <a class='line'>ligne 42</a> or something in French and it would work.

I think the way to solve this is with <data>:

<data value=42>ligne 42</data>

This will allow us to have any language for the "line #" and code the actual number into the data's value attribute.

Looked at this while ago and the solution is not going to be something that we can get it done quickly.

I think we can icebox this for now and will get back to it once we have a better solution or if we are going to do most of these in Nimble instead.
