class Kramdown::Utils::StringScanner

start_line_number override for nested StringScanners.
This patched StringScanner adds line number information for current scan position and a

def best_pos

def best_pos
  charpos
end

def best_pos

def best_pos
  pos
end

def current_line_number

However we add the one indirectly by using a one-based start_line_number.
NOTE: Normally we'd have to add one to the count of newlines to get the correct line number.

NOTE: Requires that all line endings are normalized to '\n'

Returns the line number for current charpos.

def current_line_number
  # Not using string[@previous_pos..best_pos].count('\n') because it is slower
  strscan = ::StringScanner.new(string)
  strscan.pos = @previous_pos
  old_pos = pos + 1
  @previous_line_number += 1 while strscan.skip_until(/\n/) && strscan.pos <= old_pos
  @previous_pos = (eos? ? best_pos : best_pos + 1)
  @previous_line_number
end

def initialize(string, start_line_number = 1)

Note: The original second argument is no longer used so this should be safe.

Takes the start line number as optional second argument.

def initialize(string, start_line_number = 1)
  super(string)
  @start_line_number = start_line_number || 1
  @previous_pos = 0
  @previous_line_number = @start_line_number
end
