Include file-content as part of markdown.

[kanuku]

It would be great if we could include certain lines from another file to be showed inside a mardown file.

For example something like:
{5:12}(code/example.java)

Would result in including the specified java file, lines 5 to 12

05. 
06. public static void main(String[] args) {
07.
08.   system.out.println("Hello World!");
09.
10.
11.
12. }

How would this work if the contents of the file changed? For example, if code/example.java no longer existed on master?

Thanks for the suggestion. See #172 (comment).

This would be a very useful feature...

Would be great for boilerplate or site/sub-section wide announcements or sections.

(and it would be great to select language for syntax highlighting for the contents as well)

As this issue is closed, I raised a while back this one which is still open so perhaps has slightly more chance of being noticed by GitHub: #1159

An empty comment of "+1" adds nothing to any Github conversation.

If you would like to express gratitude for a comment, please use the 👍 feature created to avoid this exact issue.

<3 you all

I think the +1 is merely a way to spam the email of the maintainers to attract attention to a popular github feature request issue. If you just thumbs up someone's comment the maintainers do not receive a notification :) If the maintainers do not wish to pursue the request they can always lock the issue.
