Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️

Not accounting for empty lines

Solution: Empty lines should still get numbers if you want accurate line references. Check if tool skips or numbers them.

⚠️

Wrong numbering format for your use

Solution: Different formats: "1. ", "1) ", "[1] ", "001: ". Choose based on context (code, lists, citations).

⚠️

Forgetting to remove numbers later

Solution: Line numbers are for reference only. Remove them before finalizing code or documents.
