Frequently Asked Questions

Can I start numbering from a number other than 1?
Yes — set the "start at" value to begin from any whole number, useful when continuing a previous sequence.
Does it handle empty lines?
Yes — blank lines are preserved and still get a number, so the line count always matches your original text exactly.
Number blank lines?
Yes — blanks keep numbers so counts match originals exactly. Strip them upstream if you want dense numbering.
Start at zero?
Any whole number works, including zero for zero-indexed teams matching code editors.
HTML output?
Plain N-prefix only. Paste into docs or tickets; convert to tables downstream if styling matters.
Stored anywhere?
No. Numbering runs locally in your browser. No text is uploaded or stored.
