How to use the Text Line Numbering Tool.
State how blank lines affect numbering and whether the numbers become part of the text. Keep the original line order.
Make the workflow fit your task.
Choose a starting number, separator and blank-line policy. Add numbers without reordering or changing the line contents, and state whether the labels are part of the output text. Check multi-line records before treating each visual line as a separate item.

Decisions and troubleshooting.
Should wrapped display lines receive separate numbers?
Number actual newline-delimited lines unless the task explicitly requires visual layout positions. Screen wrapping can change with window width.
Why did removing an empty line shift every later reference?
Line numbers depend on the agreed blank-line policy. Preserve blanks when stable references to the original are needed.
