## Message

```
editor: Allow no context for the `excerpt_context_lines` setting (#37982)

Closes #37980

There seems to be no reason to hard limit this to 1, and we even have
existing UX for this case already:

/>

(Notice the different arrows in the gutter area for single lines)

Hence, allowing the value to honor the request from the issue

Release Notes:

- Allowed `0` as a value for the `excerpt_context_lines` setting
```
