If I have a note, “My Code” that contains text like:
```javascript
path=getValidatedPath(path);
otherpath=getUnValidatedPath(path);
```
then I can transclude it and see the formatted result. But I can’t transclude just a single line, apparently because the entire set of lines is considered the one and only block. If I remove the formatting (e.i. ```) then I can reference the individual lines. But then they aren’t formatted. If I try to wrap the transclusion with formatting, then I see the literal text. e.g.:
![[My Code]]
and not the transcluded text.
How can I wrap a transcluded block with highlighting, and/or, how can I transclude blocks from within a formatted block of text?
The lowest level you can transclude in Obsidian is a block, so you can’t split a block into smaller units when using normal means of transclusion.
This means that if you want to transclude a few lines from a code block, you need to split that code block into smaller units, and exclude one of those blocks.
Regarding formatting stuff which are transcluded, I think that’s just not possible due to the nature of transclusion as of now. That is, you could possible do something with using custom CSS, but …
Somebody are trying to get an option for transcluding stuff inline, but it’s an open question whether that’ll be a thing (and/ or when).
