# Pasted a link with a line range like #L10-L20 but the whole file is shown

**What you are seeing**

I pasted a link with a line range like #L10-L20 but the whole file is shown.

---

## Why it happens

The line numbers are read out of the URL but there is nowhere to store them. The macro configuration has no line-range fields. So they are dropped.

---

## What to do

Line-range display is not supported. Show the whole file, or split the source file if you only want part of it on the page.

| Hide GitHub across the whole site | App property \`capable-global-hidden-capabilities\`, object name \`hiddenCapabilities\`, value | Hides the capability tenant-wide. IMPORTANT: this gates the BYLINE ONLY. The macro module has no display conditions, so hiding the capability does not stop existing GitHub macros from rendering on pages. |
