I know I can use "code" in GitHub Flavored Markdown to highlight a code snippet. But I am not able to display line numbers for a snippet. Is there a way to do so? ```javascript var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting"; alert(s); ``` I want a line number to be put at the beginning of each line, like this: 1 var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting"; 2 alert(s); As you may noticed in Markdown Cheatsheet , GitHub does not show line numbers in code blocks. As a hack, you could save a pic of your code at https://carbon.now.sh and post it; they support line numbers as an option. You can get something

I'm trying to make text which is either invisible until moused over , or, has a "show" / "hide" button , or some other thing, so that it is not visible until the user interacts with it in some way.

Github Flavored Markdown supports basic HTML in .md file. So this would be the answer: Markdown mixed with HTML: |

Is there a way to create a URL anchor, <a> , link from within a Markdown file, to another file within the same repository and branch (aka a link relative to the current branch)? For example, in the master branch I have a README.md file, which I would like do something like: # My Project is really really cool. My Project has a subdir named myLib, see below. ## myLib documentation see documentation [here](myLib/README.md) This would allow me to link from one .md to another within the same branch and not have to worry about which branch I'm in (avoid having to do an absolute URL that includes the
