Share Code from a GitHub Repo with a Permalink

[TextMisadventures]

Hello,

Let's say someone has asked a question in Discussions, and you want to share the UpdateObjectLinks function's code.

---

I rarely want to search the documentation when I'm trying to find the actual code (:)), so I always begin my searches' text with NOT docs.

---

After scrolling a bit to find the code I wish to share, I click on the line number I want to start with. (You can't see my pointer, but you can see 296 is blue in WorldModel/WorldModel/Core/CoreScopes.aslx)

---

Now, you should see something like this:

---

I want to share lines 296-314. Line 296 is already selected, so I shall hold SHIFT and click 314 to highlight the entire block of code (much like a normal text editor).

---

Now, I can just click the ... thingy and select 'Copy permalink'

---

When I paste that into my GitHub Discussions post:

quest/WorldModel/WorldModel/Core/CoreScopes.aslx

Lines 296 to 314 in 9e37029

	<function name="UpdateObjectLinks">
	if (game.enablehyperlinks) {
	data = NewStringDictionary()
	foreach (object, ScopeVisible()) {
	dictionary add (data, object.name, Join(GetDisplayVerbs(object), "/"))
	}
	JS.updateObjectLinks(data)
	exits = NewStringList()
	foreach (exit, ScopeExits()) {
	list add (exits, exit.name)
	}
	JS.updateExitLinks(exits)
	commands = NewStringList()
	foreach (cmd, ScopeCommands()) {
	list add (commands, cmd.name)
	}
	JS.updateCommandLinks(commands)
	}
	</function>

..and I see that it does not show the code in the mobile app. :(
