Common Questions

Can I add different prefixes to different lines?

Not directly with this tool. For that, you'd need to process your text in batches or use a more advanced text editor.

What's the maximum amount of text I can process?

We can handle reasonably large texts, but for best performance, we recommend processing up to 10,000 lines at a time.

Can I use this to create numbered lists?

Yes! Just add a number as a prefix. For automatic numbering, you might need a more specialized tool.
