Recently I was posting some code in a post, but I tried to highlight some part of the code to let the reader focus on, though it would be very helpful to have the rest of the code there so the reader could skim through to have an overview (and also to reference if needed).

Otherwise, not highlighting and thus making the reader read through both the more relevant and the less relevant parts of the code with the same intensity could be distracting, inefficient and could even discourage some to look through

So selecting a section, highlighting and choosing a text colour, say red should be alright? Well by the time I clicked post, I found the new text colour didn't stick. As much as I tried over again .... It didn't stick

So I'm thinking this kind of highlighting sections of code would be a useful and good feature to have and like to suggest adding it

Though i'm really sceptical this time... my previous post here was completely ignored, maybe my 9 lives at GDNet has ran-out :(

Not ignored. Just busy. Also limiting changes to the current site as we prepare for an upgrade that will address most or all problems anyone might have.

For this particular one, syntax highlighting is going to override any color formatting in a code block by default so some special code will be needed. Wondering if there's a better way to identify specific lines in the code - or perhaps break the code block up into multiple sections? Again though, new code formatting/editor in the upgrade might improve this.
