Thanks for the reply. I have had a paper returned without review because of the lack of line numbers. I think this is an exception and was probably done by technical staff before the editor saw it. Converting the document in Word is possible but then defeats my main goal; to eliminate a need to use MS Office.
About journal requirements, it is not uncommon to require line numbers for the version to be reviewed. If it would help motivate this feature for the Paperpile team, maybe we could start here a list of journals that require it?
line numbers for google docs extension download
You know, I take this back. The utility of line numbers is not to precisely match the content, and be exact, but to give an close/approximate location of the issue identified by the reviewer so that there is no ambiguity to the author what needs to be fixed. This two-column table idea might as well be just good enough!
Line numbers are also holding my colleagues from entirely using GoogleDocs instead of Word, because they (and I) like refering to line numbers in a general discussion of the ms we do by email or during our conversations. Having to export to Word makes the process troublesome.
The Chrome extension mentioned above works fine for pub or grant submissions in PDF format requiring line numbers. The only limitation is that one needs to use Print > Save as PDF to maintain the numbers in the final PDF. When using the usual download to PDF or MS Word then the line numbers are not maintained.
Unfortunately, there are no Google Docs add-ons that offer this functionality. There was a Google Chrome extension that allowed you to add proper line numbers to Google Docs. Unfortunately, this project is no longer available in the Chrome Web Store and the GitHub repository for it is inactive (as of the time of publication).
There are other similar online tools that are both free and can easily convert your text to include line numbers, such as Gillmeister and IPVoid. If you want more options to choose from, then these are good alternatives to have.
Adding line numbers manually is a tough ask, which is why we want a method to avoid it altogether and still get numbers before each line. Part of the labor involves moving the cursor to the front of the line, adding a number, shifting to the next line, etc. And if you have indents before a few lines, then you also have to adjust for that extra space. You also cannot add a dot after each number as Google Docs will end up seeing it as a numbered list.
Google Docs is one of the better free word processors out there. But some of its limitations are hard to get around. Still, there are a number of workarounds and tricks that can help you add line numbers to your document. We hope this guide has helped you with the same. Until next time!
PS - I also searched for a 'reverse' solution, i.e. copy code WITH line numbers. My IDE is Visual Studio 2017 Community edition - and it doesn't seem to provide this option, I have only found extensions which work for Visual Studio Code (an altogether different application). However, it would be better to find a way to 'add' line numbers in google docs - this way one would not be restricted by the IDE/editor. Copying code and pasting in an editor and then re-copying with line numbers would be a choice, but way too cumbersome.
I used vim to open up the file and then use the mouse to highlight the text and copy and paste. The mouse needs to be used to highlight everything as vim's inbuilt highlight will not include the line numbers.
Google docs is a powerful word editor tool, which is absolutely free. It is robust and contains a plethora of editing features, that can be edited anytime, anywhere. The best aspect of Google Docs is its compatibility. It is compatible any platform, any device. However, it lacks some common features, such as line numbers. If you require to insert Line numbers, Google Docs does not have this as an in-built feature. You need to install a separate extension from Google Chrome Web Store. There is an extension for Microsoft Edge as well.
Since there are Vim bindings, I assume there are enough people who wanted this feature such that it was considered important enough. Then I can only imagine that the majority of these users would also very much welcome support for line numbers.
Ah, Thanks. I seem to have misunderstood the discussion earlier and thought that the implementation of line numbers itself added complexity to the code. Now, I understand that this is more about limiting options to configure so that remains simple. I can get why this can be an issue.
I miss having line numbers a lot in Joplin and have to edit in external editor (vim) a lot, which is a painful friction. Will wait for the possibility of either Laurent coming around to accepting this feature or enabling a plugin system where we could do it ourselves
Thanks for the new plugin system, Laurent. If possible, could you or someone else please help to create a plugin for turning on the line numbers? I'm afraid I don't know much of JS and I tried using the code from your earlier commit above but that didn't seem to do anything.
Code blocks can include a button to allow for the selection of line ranges by the user, which is perfect for linking to a specific subsection of a code block. This allows the user to apply line highlighting dynamically. Add the following to mkdocs.yml to enable it globally:
Code annotations offer a comfortable and friendly way to attach arbitrary content to specific sections of code blocks by adding numeric markers in block and inline comments in the language of the code block. Add the following to mkdocs.yml to enable them globally:
Line numbers can be added to a code block by using the linenums="" option directly after the shortcode, whereas represents the starting line number. A code block can start from a line number other than 1, which allows to split large code blocks for readability:
Specific lines can be highlighted by passing the line numbers to the hl_lines argument placed right after the language shortcode. Note that line counts start at 1, regardless of the starting line number specified as part of linenums:
Vim has a nifty feature that converts code to HTML format preserving syntax highlighting, font style, background color and even line numbers. Run :TOhtml and vim creates a new buffer containing html markup.
COFF line numbers indicate the relationship between code and line numbers in source files. The Microsoft format for COFF line numbers is similar to standard COFF, but it has been extended to allow a single section to relate to line numbers in multiple source files.
COFF line numbers consist of an array of fixed-length records. The location (file offset) and size of the array are specified in the section header. Each line-number record is of the following format.
A .drectve section consists of a string of text that can be encoded as ANSI or UTF-8. If the UTF-8 byte order marker (BOM, a three-byte prefix that consists of 0xEF, 0xBB, and 0xBF) is not present, the directive string is interpreted as ANSI. The directive string is a series of linker options that are separated by spaces. Each option contains a hyphen, the option name, and any appropriate attribute. If an option contains spaces, the option must be enclosed in quotes. The .drectve section must not have relocations or line numbers.
with syntax highlighting required if possible (I suggest requiring a syntax highlighting library, or making it a strong suggestion). I suggest that having the filename formatted the same as if backtics were included part of the spec. Also there should be a requirement that printed line numbers not be part of the same structure so you can copy and paste the code without copy and pasting them.
Legal documents have very specific requirements when it comes to line numbering on left page margin, line spacing and visible double lines that divide the numbers from the body text. For example, California state courts require filings to use double line spacing, 12-point font size, and line numbers in the left margin.
In a live demo, we combined the line numbering and other helpful features for legal document processing applications. The document contains line numbers in the left margin, form fields and editable regions. The complete document is protected, so that users can only fill out form fields and modify the body text of the document:
This option takes an optional number as threshold parameter. If anythreshold given, the directive will produce line numbers only for the codeblocks longer than N lines. If not given, line numbers will be producedfor all of code blocks.
When specifying particular parts of a file to display, it can be useful todisplay the original line numbers. This can be done using thelineno-match option, which is however allowed only when the selectionconsists of contiguous lines.
You can have certain lines in an example highlighted line numbers to code examples with the :emphasize-lines: parameter. In the following example, line 2 (with the :emphasize-lines: directive) is highlighted.
Note that all sorts on statistics are in descending order (placing mosttime consuming items first), where as name, file, and line number searchesare in ascending order (alphabetical). The subtle distinction betweenSortKey.NFL and SortKey.STDNAME is that the standard name is asort of the name as printed, which means that the embedded line numbersget compared in an odd way. For example, lines 3, 20, and 40 would (ifthe file names were the same) appear in the string order 20, 3 and 40.In contrast, SortKey.NFL does a numeric compare of the line numbers.In fact, sort_stats(SortKey.NFL) is the same assort_stats(SortKey.NAME, SortKey.FILENAME, SortKey.LINE).
In addition, see the docstrings ofmatplotlib_inline.backend_inline.set_matplotlib_formats andmatplotlib_inline.backend_inline.set_matplotlib_close for more information onchanging additional behaviors of the inline backend.
The filename argument should be either a pure Python script (withextension .py), or a file with custom IPython syntax (such asmagics). If the latter, the file can be either a script with .ipyextension, or a Jupyter notebook with .ipynb extension. When runninga Jupyter notebook, the output from print statements and otherdisplayed objects will appear in the terminal (even matplotlib figureswill open, if a terminal-compliant backend is being used). Note that,at the system command line, the jupyter run command offers similarfunctionality for executing notebooks (albeit currently with somedifferences in supported options).
