Starting

Features

Line Highlighting

You can highlight specific lines in the code block by passing the highlight-lines parameter to the zebraw function. The highlight-lines parameter can be a single line number or an array of line numbers.

You can add comments to the highlighted lines by passing an array of line numbers and comments to the highlight-lines parameter.

Comments can begin with a flag, which is ">" by default. You can change the flag by passing the comment-flag parameter to the zebraw function:

To disable the flag feature, pass "" to the comment-flag parameter (the indentation of the comment will be disabled as well):

Usually, the comments passing by a dictionary of line numbers and comments are used to add a header or footer to the code block:

Or you can use header and footer parameters to add a header or footer to the code block:
