Jekyll + redcarpet line numbers

Question

I set up a Jekyll blog and I have the following config for syntax highlighting.

markdown: redcarpet
highlighter: pygments

This allows me to add syntax highlighting like this:

```javascript
function blah(){

}
```

Is there any way to keep this format but add line numbers?

{% highlight ruby linenos %}
def foo
  puts 'foo'
end
{% endhighlight %}

And no need to highlight with javascript. Just add pygments css.

Yes, we can do it this way. I asked if we can use the backtick syntax do add line numbers, just like we can add linenos to this syntax. – GGhe Dec 24 '14 at 19:51
So... I wrote a macro that turns ``` + tab into what you wrote above. – GGhe Jan 04 '15 at 21:24
Just let us know how you did this ! It can help. – David Jacquel Jan 04 '15 at 22:26
Is there a way to have linenumbers start at a certain value? ( :44, :45, :46 …) – Frank N Apr 09 '18 at 09:53
