The recommended way to mark up a code block (both for semantics and for Prism) is a <pre> element with a element <code> inside, like so:

Code:

                                                
                                                    <pre>
                                                        <code class="language-css">
                                                            p {
                                                                color: #1abc9c
                                                            }
                                                        </code>
                                                    </pre>
                                                
                                            

Output:

	p {
		color: #1abc9c
	}

Line number at the beginning of code lines.

Obviously, this is supposed to work only for code blocks (<pre><code>) and not for inline code. Add class line-numbers to your desired <pre> and line-numbers plugin will take care.

Optional: You can specify the data-start (Number) attribute on the <pre> element. It will shift the line counter.

Usage:

                                                
                                                    <pre class="line-numbers">
                                                        <code class="language-css">
                                                            p {
                                                                color: red;
                                                            }

                                                        </code>
                                                    </pre>
                                                
                                            

Example:

                                                
                                                    (function() {
                                                        if (typeof self==='undefined' || !self.Prism || !self.document) {
                                                            return;
                                                        }
                                                    });
                                                
                                            

Highlights specific lines and/or line ranges.

You specify the lines to be highlighted through the data-line attribute on the <pre> element, in the following simple format:

1. A single number refers to the line with that number
2. Ranges are denoted by two numbers, separated with a hyphen (-)
3. Multiple line numbers or ranges are separated by commas.
4. Whitespace is allowed anywhere and will be stripped off.

Usage:

                                                
                                                    <pre data-line="2,4, 8-10">

                                                            }
