Add Line Numbers to Text
Number every line of a document or code block, starting wherever you need.
Numbered lines make text referenceable. Quoting a specific line in a review, walking someone through a config file over chat, turning a plain list into a numbered one for a document — all of them need the numbers actually in the text rather than displayed by an editor. Paste the text, pick a format, and every line is prefixed.
How to Use the Add Line Numbers
- 1
Paste the text or code you want numbered.
- 2
Set the starting number — useful when continuing from an earlier excerpt.
- 3
Choose the separator style and whether to pad with leading zeros.
- 4
Copy the numbered text.
Why Use TextsPro
Numbering runs in your browser, so code and configuration files containing credentials never leave your machine. Zero padding keeps every number the same width, which is what stops a hundred-line block from looking ragged where the numbers roll from 9 to 10. The custom start value matters when you are quoting an excerpt from the middle of a file and want the numbers to match the original. Blank lines can be skipped so they do not consume a number, which is usually what you want when numbering a list rather than a file.
