In LSP, a position is represented as a line number and a column offset (in Unicode code units): https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#position This is pretty elegant. You'll get the correct line regardless of encoding bugs, and the editor already knows the line number so it's cheap to compute.

I'm experimenting with diagnostics formatting. * I've added a left margin, showing both the file name and line numbers * I'm showing one line of context above/below the offending line. * I'm using grey for comments. What do you think? Is there anything you'd change?

I'm not sure if I should use the term "text diff" or "textual diff" to refer to a conventional, line-oriented diff of text in difftastic. Any opinions? Which seems clearer to you?
