Github markdown: what does the number in the curly brackets mean?

What does the numbers in the curly brackets after the code type mean in (github) markdown? Couldn't find any docs about it

    ```js{6, 15}
    export default {
      setup() {
        const input = ref(null)
        // ...
        return {
          input
        }
      }
    }
    ```

Found it in multiple docs across frontend frameworks

Solution

  • This doesn't seem to be for Markdown processed by GitHub, but VitePress. Specifically, this syntax is for line highlighting: js{6, 15} highlights lines 6 and 15 in the code block.
