I finally realized how to do accurate, pervasive source-code line numbers in Bikeshed error messages! Some happen automatically; errors in your metadata or any datablocks (<pre class=whatever> things that Bikeshed specially processes) get line numbers all the time. Most others you'll need to opt into: run `bikeshed spec -l` (or `--line-numbers`) to get line-number output. Unfortunately this mode is a very hacky, regex-HTML-parsing sort of thing, so Bikeshed automatically does a "dry run" when you opt in, and doesn't actually save any output files. But if this does anything, you have errors in your document anyway, so that's probably fine. ^_^ When you've fixed things, just run it without line-numbers and it'll save as normal. Hopefully this'll help avoid any more annoying 10-minute bughunts! ~TJ
