Github lets you highlight parts of your gist by the following syntax:
gist.github.com/username/123456#file-filename-L7
, to highlight line 7 for example.
Real example: https://gist.github.com/Untrusted-Game/2a36648c4c673a3927511184246b7a17#file-untrusted-lvl5-solution-js-L14-L16
Trying to embed a file with lines highlighted doesn't seem to work with forem, both with and without the file=filename
syntax.
It would be nice if a lines=...
attribute could be added to the gist liquid tag, for example:
{% gist https://gist.github.com/Untrusted-Game/2a36648c4c673a3927511184246b7a17 file=untrusted-lvl5-solution-js lines=L14-L16 %}

I could totally see this being very helpful!
I also miss the ability to embed a single filename from a gist, seems the file anchor is not supported.
The docs are not very clear neither
