Import code snippet from lines

[Lombra]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I have some sources file from which I would like to include a few snippets. Currently you can selectively import code snippets only using regions, as I understand it. I don't have or want regions, nor does my language support it.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to select line start[-end] for inclusion, similar to how highlighting works. I don't know what an appropriate syntax for this would be.

Describe alternatives you've considered

@brc-dd This is implemented and I guess should be closed.

This is implemented and I guess should be closed.

That's different. This isn't implemented yet. Here the author wants to import the snippet via lines. IIRC this used to work fine with vitepress too - https://github.com/fabioaanthony/markdown-it-vuepress-code-snippet-enhanced - so the usage was something like:

@[code transclude={5-13}](@/docs/code.js)

Edit: looking at old Discord chats, I think that plugin only supports single range:

This can be implemented in vitepress fairly easily, I just don't know what the syntax should be because currently the {1,2..} syntax is used for highlighting the lines.

Wow, whoops. I sure misread that!

Sorry to dig up false info. It's at least proof that I searched for duplicates before submitting #4947.

re: implementing this - could the anchor-text location be reused?

Presumably if someone is importing by line number(s), they won't also be using a region, so myfile#1-4{2} seems to be collision-free and the #{specifier} now specifies regions in both cases.
