This little tutorial was extremely helpful to me, and yet the person who made it should be shot. Or flogged, or something.

Each line of code is wrapped in a list item element. That's great, in the sense that it allows line numbers to be displayed. Not so great when you want to copy the code, ie to the clipboard and then your IDE.

There must be some form of auto line numbers, right? A way to style the code element to do that?

Good Lord, that IS annoying. There must be a way to do that better. Will have to think about it. His code is a stylish<ol> inside of a <pre>, and though I've never noticed this before, I guess that just copies by default to the clipboard with the numbers attached. There must be a better way. I agree that having the numbers does look better.

I looked briefly around the web at sites I knew with styled code, but in a few brief minutes, I didn't find anything else that was numbered like that.

would u please let me know the address of the tutorials u are talking abt???

I have to wonder sometimes if it's me !!

Thanks. I honestly don't know how anyone could miss that, it's the first place i looked! Hehe.

Just curious, couldn't you include a ton of PHP files with the actual HTML on one of them (and nothing in the others)? They'd be searching for hours for which one the source was in. Or can you not do that? (Uber loading times).
