Re: Prefix lines with a counter

pretty new to vim, so my solution may work improperly

 

:for i in range(1, N)

:exe "norm I".i."."

:norm n

:endfor

 

N is the sum of lines. move cursor to first line before doing this.

 

 

OR u can use :h function-list

Subject: Prefix lines with a counter

Here is something I constantly find myself needing to do:

 

Start with a list of items delineated by line breaks:

 

foo

bar

baz

 

And turn it into a markdown numbered list:

 

1. foo

2. bar

3. baz

 

I know that I *could* use 1. for every item, since that's easy enough

to do and Markdown knows what to do when rendering, but that's not so

good for human readers of plain text.

 

Is there a way I can have vim prefix the lines with an ascending

counter like the above?
