turn on “show line numbers” but it only works in editor mode, We need “show line numbers" also in reading view mode.
That sounds like a function for a theme. Have you looked at the available themes?
I doesn’t think “show line numbers” in reading mode is a theme, but this setting is in display menu. When I switch editing mode to reading mode, this “show line numbers” setting doesn’t work, It is like a bug. This is confusing to users. I want to know why this it is and the design philosophy of this setting.
It’s an editing feature. You see it often available in text editors, and almost never in books or on websites.
I believe they’re saying there might be a theme that shows line numbers in reading mode. I couldn’t find one, though.
This questions was also asked here, but hasn’t had much support.
Me too, yes, I doesn’t find a theme that can show line numbers in reading mode.
I would appreciate such a feature!
Perhaps there have been some workarounds over the last couple of years to achieve this?
In principle a CSS snippet could do this, but because Obsidian loads and unloads parts of the note as it’s scrolled, the numbering would keep resetting (according to CSS wizard sailKite on Discord).
