Add Line Numbers to Text

Add line numbers to multi-line text with customizable format, alignment, and position

Tool Introduction

Feature Overview

Add line numbers to multi-line text. You can customize the line number format, alignment, and whether they appear at the beginning or end of lines.

Typical Scenarios

  • Add line numbers to multi-line code for precise reference during review or discussion.
  • Add line numbers to logs or configuration files to quickly locate and debug issues.
  • Show code snippets with line numbers in technical articles or tutorials for better readability.
  • Add line numbers to multi-line API responses to compare, record, or annotate data.

Usage Tips

  • Format and clean up the text before adding line numbers so the result is easier to read.
  • Use zero padding for line numbers in large files to keep numbers visually aligned.
  • Line numbers at the beginning of lines are better for explanations; at the end preserve original indentation.
  • For text with many blank lines, choose whether to skip blanks based on how you plan to reference lines.

Usage Instructions
