Body

According to this doc, just pasting the permalink of the range of codes would be fine. However, when I tried that in this issue, the link was shown as is instead of showing a fancy code snippet. What did I do wrong?

in general you can use back ticks (they are on the same key as the tilde ~ on most qwerty keyboards) - this works anywhere that renders markup. example

print("hello world")

also, for code blocks you can use three:

def function():
     print("this is an example")

You misunderstood me. This is the look I want to have:

Yes I did misunderstand - and your right, it makes it sound like it should work in the same repo - which it looks like you are.

Maybe it works on 'comments' but not issues...

Look at my case. It is in the repository it originates in.

Just had a similar problem. You gotta remove the "C2" part from each line number. Also since you're just doing one line you might also want to just use L23 instead of L23-L23

Instead of https://github.com/audiojs/audio-decode/blob/83c3883f5a2505de50da880c7c58a516d4415793/package.json#L23C2-L23C2 you want https://github.com/audiojs/audio-decode/blob/83c3883f5a2505de50da880c7c58a516d4415793/package.json#L23

You misunderstood. I mean including code snippet from permalinks to lines in a file in a repo.
