To write numbers for a numbered list:

move to the first line of list, then

ma

(mark current position with marker 'a'),

then move to last line of list, then execute:

:'a,.g/^/exe ":s/^/".(line(".") - line("'a") + 1)."^I/"

(^I - is <Tab> symbol, for example)

Comments

This should be replaced with a redirect to Insert line numbers 2 where the same idea was added as a comment. I improved that comment (it's at the end of the tip). JohnBot 06:46, January 25, 2011 (UTC)
