Showing Line Numbers?

Hi,
I write news articles for peer review, and one of the main features that I need to display in my drafts are the line numbers for every line. I've tried to search around the pages help as well as these forums, but I'm not finding a solution as to how to display the line numbers in the document as well as on the printed page. Any help? Thanks...
-Owen

Hi OwenStratospherical,
Welcome to Numbers discussions.
There isn't any built-in way to have line numbers. One possible suggestion, not elegant, is to create a Text Box to the left of the page then using the number keypad enter line numbers in that Text Box. As I said it isn't elegant but, it does work for me when I need it.
Yes line numbering would be a nice feature for sure.
The folks on these forums, discussion boards, are end users as yourself not Apple employees. Accept my suggestion for you to please at the top of your screen to the right of the blue Apple click "Pages" > "Provide Pages Feedback". This makes your request known to the Pages team directly. I've sent many as well.
Let's hope that the next version of Pages (iWork) will incorporate many of the requested enhancements.
Thank you in advance for doing that.
Sincerely,
RicD

In web inspector, CSS right tab doesn't show line numbers anymore ?

I can't see the number lines of the CSS stylesheet anymore using the line inspector.
Anyone knows how to put in back ?

Apple has made it so you can only use Safari Web Inspector.
File feedback as to how it has limited you.
The information you are looking for (if I remember correctly). is hidden. you need to hover your cursor over where the information usually is and there should be an icon of a circle with an arrow in it... if you hover over that, it'll show you the content you are looking for.
Having said that Apple is always making changes so if you were to file feedback on why this does not work for you, Apple may change it to work better for debugging websites.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
I already filed feedback about this. I state that when I inspect and element I want to be able to see the CSS file and line row it starts at without having to hover my cursor over an icon to reveal it.
I hope this helps.

What is the proper way to record line numbers in Master/Detail records?

Guys and Gals,
Been thinking about this for awhile, but thought it best to ask the people who really know what they are doing.
What is the proper way to record & show line numbers in a Master / Detail record set?
For example, take Master/Detail relationship Orders and OrderItems. Orders has a column Document_Number and OrderItems has Document_Number, Line_Number. Line_Number should contain the row number 1,2,3,4 ... etc. for each row in a document.
Should I ...
<ol><li>Add a sequence and a trigger in the database? The FusionOrderDemo does this, but then the sequence never "resets" and I've got row numbers that keep incrementing. So one document has rows 4,5,6 and the next document has 7,8,9 when they should both have 1,2,3.</li>
<li>Programmatically take care of the row numbers? This seems like I'm asking for trouble. Anytime an insert or delete operation gets done, I'll have to iterate through rows and re-assign row numbers.</li>
<li>Is there a way to assign row numbers in a table iterator (or data collection?) to an entity?</li></ol>
Any suggestions would be appreciated. It's looking like #2 is my only option, but if anyone knows different I'd love the input.
Will

Thank you both guys.
As John said, I believe I'm looking for a gap-free sequence per master record.
The line number of the OrderItems table is the second half of the primary key. The first half of the primary key (DocumentNumber) is the foreign key to the Orders table.
Think of it like line items on an order or invoice. For example, if you were talking to someone on the phone concerning an invoice, you might say, "The pricing for line item #3 is incorrect." In this case, it's good to have a common reference. Or imagine a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet with no row numbers displayed! You'd never get anywhere if you had to explain something over the phone.
If this is tricky to perform, I take it using a sequence and trigger such as the Fusion Order Demo is the best way to approach the challenge for simplicity's sake?

        I am newbie to Oracle Reports.
I have an order acknowledgement report in which i show columns like
line number
Ordered item
ship from
quantity
unit price
extended price
In above table format i need to show line numbers as 1.1
                                                                              1.2
                                                                              1.3....
                                                                               2.1

so, how can i achieve this functionality
Thanks

That still doesn't say much. How do you need to get from line number in your table to line number on the report? Give an example of your data.
I can give you an example:
with line_numbers as (
select 11 lineno from dual
union all
select 12 lineno from dual
union all
select 13 lineno from dual
union all
select 21 lineno from dual
select lineno /10 lineno
from line_numbers
order by lineno
LINENO
1.1
1.2
1.3
2.1

Adobe Acrobat XI add line numbering on left hand side

In Adobe Acrobat XI were is the option to add line numbering on the left hand side of the page for documents?

If it is a Word document that you used to create the PDF, Then Word has the ability to show line numbers.
Two methods:
Layout Tab on Ribbon click in Line Numbers.
From Main Menu choose format Menu > Document > Layout. Click Linember button and set up as desired.
Then create your PDF.
Note this is shown using a Mac. But the same thing is in The PC version as well.

JSP stack trace line numbers?? used to be there?

I could have swore that JDev RC showed line numbers in JSP
stack traces?
Anyway, they'd be great. How can the JIT/ojvm be configured to
make them available to the actual .jsp line numbers.
Thanks, curt

The line numbers are there if you aren't using the jsp include tag:
<%@ include file="some.jsp" %>
Since this is a compile time include, I still feel that line numbers should be
present in the stack trace... Well, I wish they were anyway.
Thanks, curt Curt:
This depends on which JVM you are using. For 9.0.2, I believe ojvm does not give line numbers. (I think we are changing to show line numbers for 9.0.3.) If you use hospot ('java -hotspot ...') you should see the line numbers.
Thanks.

I am facing problem regarding graphical user interface. I am using text box for editing files. I want to show the line numbers and graphical breakpoints along with text box. Can anybody help me in this? Thanks.

I am facing problem regarding graphical user interface. I am using text box for editing files. I want to show the line numbers and graphical breakpoints along with text box. Can anybody help me in this? Thanks.

Thanks for you reply.
But actually I don't want to show the \ (backslashes) to the user in my text box.
Ok let me elaborate this problem little more.
I want to show my text box as it is in normal editors e.g. In Matlab editor. There is a text box and on left side the gray bar shows the line numbers corresponding to the text. Further more i want that the user should be able to click on any line number to mark specific line as breakpoint (red circle or any graphical indication for mark).

Debugger shows wrong line numbers in local file

I'm using the debugger in Safari 5 for a web app that is entirely made up of local files (it's actually a dashboard widget). For most files it's fine, but there are a few where there appears to be a skew between the actual line number and the line number displayed by Safari. As a result, some errors are displayed with the wrong line number (e.g. "Syntax error on line 5" when the actual line is 2). More troublingly, if I place a breakpoint in a file, it acts as if it is on the wrong line so when I step through the code the current line is actually different from the one displayed by the debugger.
The weird thing is that the line numbers displayed in the script panel are all correct, so line 47 really says "47" in the left margin, but Safari still thinks that it is line 44. In general, the skew seems to be constant and equal to -3, so the real current line when debugging is 3 lines higher than the one displayed as the current line in the debugger.

This looks to me like a Safari bug. I did some experimentation, and it appears to be caused by the use of the newer getter syntax in an object prototype. When I do this the debugger seems to set breakpoints at the wrong lines as described in my previous post:
function foo() {
foo.prototype = {
get bar() {
do_it: function() {
var baz = 1;
var obj = new foo();
obj.do_it();
If remove the definition of the bar getter or change it to use the older __defineGetter__ syntax then the problem goes away.

How to insert line numbers in InDesign CS5

I am creating a document that needs to have line numbers appear every for every 5 lines of text. Using the list function, I can get a number for every line, but can't find a way to just number line 5, 10, 15, 20, etc.
All help appreciated,
Cathy

Thanks for the prompt reply, Bob, but from what I read in the comments on the script is that it inserts line numbers for every line and has no options for customizing to show numbers for only lines 5, 10, 15, etc. Also, using the list function in InDesign on selected text I can get the same result (including multi page if I select all text) and then convert the auto list numbers to text, which would allow me to remove unwanted numbers and leave just the ones I need (although that would be a painful manual process for a longer document.).
Am I missing something about the script?
I must admit that I'm shocked that this isn't a built in capability in InDesign!

Is there a way to add line numbers in the margin?

Is there a way to automatically add line numbers in the margin of a document?

Hi Brian,
If you go with Peter's suggestion, there are some details that since I've got a minute here, I'll mention...
Set your Line Spacing for the document text to "Exactly" before you begin adjusting your table, otherwise you will have registration problems.
Your Table will have to be a Floating object. Otherwise you won't be able to slide it into the margin. And, speaking of the margin, stay out of the gray area with the numbers if you want to print them. The gray border around your document is the area that the printer driver says is non-printable.
In the Table Inspector, set Columns to 1 and Rows to 20 or whatever you prefer for your document. Set the number of Header Rows to 0.
To apply the numbering, use the Fill feature: Type 1 in the first cell, type 2 in the second cell. Select both cells. Grab the Fill Handle in the lower right corner of the selection and drag it down to add a series of numbers to the rest of the column. (Easier than typing.)
Decide how you want to justify the numbering. The Text Inspector has both vertical and horizontal justification controls for this. Just select the entire table and make the settings.
Set the cell height to match the text line spacing. You can get close with the table row height, and maybe closer with a minor line spacing adjustment. Don't expect perfection, but you can get pretty close.
You probably don't want the cell borders to show, so with the entire table selected, go to the Graphic Inspector and set Stroke to None.
Lastly, cause the table to appear on every page by doing: Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.
Regards,
Jerry

Convert named access list to line numbers

I printed out a document months ago which has since then disappeared into my mountains of paperwork. Somewhere in that document listed a command that converted an extended, named access list to one with line numbers. I even recall that you could input the line interval into the conversion process (so lines would be 5,10,15 etc or 10,20,30 etc).
I just upgraded a 6509, and I'm ready to put line numbers in my access list, and can't find the command - a new Cisco search is coming up empty. Can anyone recall what the command is?? Again, it's for converting an existing access-list with no line numbers to one with line numbers.
Thank you!

Hi Emily,
I guess this is what you are looking for. I have not tried it my self but would like to test it out.
1. enable
2. configure terminal
3. ip access-list resequence access-list-name starting-sequence-number increment
4. ip access-list {standard | extended} access-list-name
5. sequence-number permit source source-wildcard
or
sequence-number permit protocol source source-wildcard destination destination-wildcard [precedence precedence] [tos tos] [log] [time-range time-range-name] [fragments]
6. sequence-number deny source source-wildcard
or
sequence-number deny protocol source source-wildcard destination destination-wildcard [precedence precedence] [tos tos] [log] [time-range time-range-name] [fragments]
7. Repeat Step 5 and/or Step 6 as necessary, adding statements by sequence number where you planned. Use the no sequence-number command to delete an entry.
8. end
9. show ip access-lists access-list-name
