Line numbers should be reported

Open waylan opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

It would be very helpful if the line number of the file where the link exists was reported. On a 2000 line long file, it could be difficult to find the link on line 14737. However, with the line number, scrolling to that line in a text editor is easy. Many even provide a mechanism to jump directly to a line number.

Yes, I realize that the text editor's find tool can be used to search for the link itself, but it is a lot easier and less error prone to type a line number than a long url.

Not for implementors: it will require to refactor the ignore system as it removes lines before the MD is parsed so the lines would be wrong.
