Hi all.

I wanted to know if there is any package for paragaph numbering.

I mean, instead of the indentation before each paragraph, I would like
to have its number.

Thanks in advance.

Well, using one those fancy search engines on the input
paragraph numbering latex
I managed to get som links. Similarly when I did a search on Google Groups.

There is also a parano package but since I've never tried it I shall
refrain from commenting on it's quality.

Come on .. I already did my homework and didn't find so many relevant
links on Google ..

BTW, I'm accessing comp.text.tex via Google groups ..

That's why I ask you if there is a straightforward way to do it !

The parano package seems to be beta and it seems it would stay beta for
a very long time !!

This one (numberpar.sty) seemed promising but then it was left
abandoned for a long time ??

ledmac seems promising but then, from what I've read, it would mean
adding a truckload of \pstart-\pend pairs !

numberpar did what was originally required of it (before latex 2e
appeared -- it's an old package). i've not felt the need to work on
it since, though other people have (you can find hacked versions on
the web).

some time i may get round to applying my experience since then to the
problem, but it's not on my critical path, in any sense. you seem to
imagine it's a trivial problem, and that everyone is being
obstructive. it's _not_ trivial, and the reason no-one has told you
anything is that you already know everything there is to know.

ledmac isn't really the right sort of thing; it's for scholarly
literary editions, whereas numbering paragraphs in the abstract is
more the province of different classes of oddity -- i originally wrote
numberpar for a colleague who was writing an "expert opinion" for a uk
court. uk legal documents are almost completely incomprehensible, so
perhaps paragraph numbering is actually necessary. most places don't
need paragraph numbering, which is why so little effort has been
applied to the problem.
