some clarification is indeed warranted: the page in question (http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/node/319/print) produces printer-friendly output (simple html). I would like to add line numbers to this document so that the students in my class can easily refer to specific lines of code. In my hack posted above, i add a line number to *every* line - even html tags like <head>, <body> , etc. I would like to add line numbers to the text in-between html elements. i.e <body> 1 something 2 about 3 some other thing 4 here ... </body> perhaps some regex-fu is required? -- Dylan Beaudette Soils and Biogeochemistry Graduate Group University of California at Davis 530.754.7341 _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
