It’s quite difficult, when we have large translations, to quote a part of the text without any line number. It would be helpful to have a line number.

Hi italo

One way of getting round the problem is to copy/paste the part you want to quote, and to put it inside inverted commas (quote marks).

To emphasise certain parts of a copy/pasted quote you can use [b]}} before a word and {{/b]}} after it in order to make it bold. I use this quite a lot, together with {{[note]}} and {{[/note] when I discuss texts and make suggestions for edits.

Line numbers would be a good idea, but jp's "to do" list is already very long, maybe the feature might be implemented in the future.

I hope these ideas help you out in the meantime.

line number , not sure how this would work because the lines are depening on the size of your internet browser ?

I'm not sure if the lines depend on the browsers size. It the same if you have a poem! e.g.:

1 slkflsk
2 fsdfsg
3 fdfsgsg
4 dgsdgs
5 sdgsgdfgg
...

You have fixed verses/lines.
