+### Code Syntax Highlighting
 
 By default, Reveal is configured with [highlight.js](https://highlightjs.org/) for code syntax highlighting. To enable syntax highlighting, you'll have to load the highlight plugin ([plugin/highlight/highlight.js](plugin/highlight/highlight.js)) and a highlight.js CSS theme (Reveal comes packaged with the Monokai themes: [lib/css/monokai.css](lib/css/monokai.css)).

+#### Line Numbers & Highlights
+
+To enable line numbers, add `data-line-numbers` to your `<code>` tags. If you want to highlight specific lines you can provide a comma separated list of line numbers using the same attribute. For example, in the following example lines 4 and 8-11 are highlighted:
+
+```html
+<pre><code class="hljs" data-line-numbers="4,8-11">
+import React, { useState } from 'react';
+ 
+function Example() {
+  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
+ 
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <p>You clicked {count} times</p>
+      <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
+        Click me
+      </button>
+    </div>
+  );

+</code></pre>
