Line Number Generator
Add a number to the front of every line. Choose where the numbering starts, what separator sits between the number and the text, and whether numbers are padded so 1 through 100 all line up in a neat column. Blank lines can be skipped so they do not consume a number.
What goes between the number and the line — try '. ', ') ' or a tab.
Turns 1, 2 … 10 into 01, 02 … 10 so everything lines up.
