End-of-line numberer online

Unlike regular numbering, which puts the number before the text, this tool adds it to the END of every line — handy for footnotes, source references, or version tags, where the number logically belongs at the end of an entry rather than the start.

This page has no server side at all. The table you paste is parsed by JavaScript inside your own browser, the chart is drawn on a canvas element on your machine, and the export file is assembled locally. Nothing is uploaded, stored or written to any log. You can disconnect from the network after the page has loaded and everything will still work — which is the simplest way to verify the claim yourself.

Facts and limits of this method

Number position At the very end of the line, after everything else
Default format Parentheses with a leading space: "text (1)"
Starting number and step Configured the same way as in the regular line numberer
Skip empty lines On by default — numbering doesn't get thrown off by blank lines

When it misleads you

How it is calculated

The text is split into lines. The number counter is set to the starting value.

For each line: if "skip empty lines" is on and the line is blank, no number is added. Otherwise the number in the chosen format is appended to the end of the line, and the counter advances by the step.

The format determines the number's wrapper: parentheses, brackets, a dash before the number, or a hash before the number — in every case, a single leading space separates the wrapper from the line's text.

The result counter shows how many lines actually got a number.

Questions and answers

How is this different from the regular line numberer?

The regular numberer puts the number at the start of the line ("1. Text"); this tool puts it at the end ("Text (1)"). Pick whichever fits your task.

Can I set my own character instead of parentheses?

No, only four ready-made formats are available: parentheses, brackets, dash, and hash.

How do I start numbering from something other than 1?

Type the number you want into the "start from" field — any integer works, including zero and negative numbers.

Is my text sent anywhere?

No, all the processing runs in your browser.
