Advanced Features

Line Numbering

The plugin supports magic comments for inline annotations:

```js [numbered]
// All lines will be numbered
console.log('Line 1')
console.log('Line 2')
console.log('Line 3')
```

Line Highlighting and Annotations

```js [highlight=2]
console.log('Line 1')
console.log('Line 2') // This line will be highlighted
console.log('Line 3')
```

```js
console.log('Line 1')
console.log('Line 2') [[highlight]] // This line will be highlighted
console.log('Line 3')
```

```js [add=2]
console.log('Line 1')
console.log('Line 2') // This line will be accented and prefixed with a '+'
console.log('Line 3')
```

```js [rem=2]
console.log('Line 1')
console.log('Line 2') // This line will be accented and prefixed with a '-'
console.log('Line 3')
```

Combining Annotations

```js [numbered highlight=1 rem=2 add=3]
console.log('Line 1') // This line will be highlighted
console.log('Line 2') // This line will be accented and prefixed with a '-'
console.log('Line 3') // This line will be accented and prefixed
```

Using Ranges

Additonally, with the exception of numbered, you can use ranges to annotate multiple lines:

[highlight=1,10-11 add=4,7-9 rem=12-14]

Tabbed Code Blocks

Easily create tabbed interfaces for multiple code examples:

```tabs
<<|js Tab 1|>>
console.log('Hello from Tab 1');

<<|ts Tab 2|>>
console.log('Hello from Tab 2');
```
