This is not HTML. It isn't even XML. It's not as bad as designers putting "code" into ads, but it's close.

Also, ever heard of XSLT?

I mean it's valid XML

It's just not useful

It isn't valid XML. No root node.

We may just not see it but fair point

The editor would need to start counting lines at zero.

The line numbers show us that we're seeing the whole file.

Oh ur right

Ew I didn't notice

That's awful

They only (probably) show us that we are seeing the begining of the file. Also relative line numbing is a thing in vim for example.

Could it be an xml entity (or whatever it’s called) that you reference from another xml file? Do those require root nodes?
