Feature #6362
closedHighlight lines via URL in repository browsings file view
0%
Description
It would be pretty need if we were able to highlight any relevant code we want to while viewing files in the repository browser (thus covering the orginal, and annotate views)
Usage example: Say I encountered a bug, say that I know what lines are causing the problems, and (if applicable) what revision the problem I'm using, however I'm just a normal user, I can't commit or anything, I may not even know how to fix it, but I can write an issue report, and I can tell them what the problem is. So I link to the repository browsers file view (file view or annotate works fine), and link to "#L54", the line the problematic code is in.
That's ok in theory, but wouldn't it be easier instead of having to mention in my bug report that the problem is line 54-69, why can't I just append something to the URL like.. ".../repository/entry||annotate/trunk/file.rb?h=54-69#L54"
Now my URL example may not be the best for how you guys would like to implement such a feature, but the URL is only one way that I have figured would be the easiest to do such a thing, and you're free to make suggestions/change it as long as it maintains functionality. You get the picture, and I'm sure this wouldn't be way too hard to accomplish either. (:
