Line/column numbers in renderer

[sidorares]

I'm generating javascript code from .md files and would like to build source map along the way. Is there any way to get line/column number at the moment when renderer handler is invoked?

oops, should have used search first - partially duplicate of #382

Though this one is more specific - I only need location data and going to build sourcemap manually in my code which uses marked.

Other partially duplicates are #296 and #338

Yes please :)

I tried doing something with a counter on a custom renderer which increments for each listitem and clears for the list, but that doesn't handle nested lists.

I have a work around for my use case: add line number to a language name in fenced code start and then later replace language name back to original (say, renderer is called with code:coffee-123 - this is coffee block starting at line 123, we can combine sourcemap to include this code at offset 123)

@sidorares, take a look at https://github.com/jonschlinkert/remarkable . It already has line numbers support for all blocks. We did not implemented columns, because could not find real use cases. Also everything can be monkeypatched.
