Is there a way to highlight different lines on multiple code blocks simultaneously

[damageboy]

It would be nice to be able to highlight different lines on different code blocks simulatenously, as I'm going over two variations of the same code in one slide.

I can mimic this by merging into one code block, of course, which I do now, but this would allow for even higher degree of freedom...

Is there a way to achieve this?

This seems like a decent idea, which could be implemented with a little modifications. I feel that the syntax is getting a little clunky though. Any suggestions on how to describe highlighting different lines on different code blocks at the same time?

I was thinking something like: data-code-focus="1#1-3,4,7|2#5" to describe this, using | and 1# to indicate different code blocks and allowing - or , to indicate specific lines within the code block.

To maintain compatibility with current syntax, something like data-code-focus="1-3,4,7|5" and data-code-block="1|2" can be used to represent the same lines.

Feel free to chime in with any recommendations.

The syntax when used with #19 (if that were ever implemented) would then be something like data-code-focus="2#7[13-15],9".

I really like it!

It's obviously complex when you look at it from the outside, but this isn't a simple request to begin with.
I think 1#1-3,4|2#5-7 is really the best we can ever hope for...

To be honest I thought of much worse things when I opened to issue... :)

I’ve implemented this, but will probably work on some of the other issues before making a new release (probably going to be a major bump due to changes to Reveal’s plugin API).
