  Hi,

  I have just started using syntaxhighlighter on my free account. I can highlight lines by giving individual line numbers, but I was wondering if there was any shortcut for highlighting code blocks. For example, I can do:
  [sourcecode language="python" highlight="11,12,13,14,15"]

  but I’d like to do something like:
  [sourcecode language="python" highlight="11-15"]

  But that syntax doesn’t work. Does anyone know if there is a shortcut for this?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  What I know about writing source code and posting source code would be lonely on the head of a pin. I have tagged this thread for Staff assistance. Please subscribe to the thread so your are notified when they respond.

  I’m afraid it doesn’t look like that’s possible – it only accepts a comma-separated list.

  You can see the original documentation for the syntax highlighter we use here:

  Sorry about that.
