What is the Add Prefix / Suffix to Lines?
Common recipes: prefix “- ” for a Markdown list, prefix and suffix “"” and “",” to turn a list into quoted, comma-separated values for code or SQL, “<li>” and “</li>” for HTML, or “{n}. ” for a numbered list.
{n} counts only the lines that receive the prefix, so with “Skip empty lines” on, the numbering stays continuous across blank lines.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add a comma to the end of each line?
Leave the prefix empty and type “,” as the suffix. To quote each item too, use “"” as the prefix and “",” as the suffix.

The {n} token starts at 1. Write the format you want around it, such as “{n}) ” or “Step {n}: ”.
