 Nothing to view, note is empty!

Then add anything to the note. It doesn't matter what you add. And then use ".sn" to see the line numbers.

* ddddddd

* .sn

 Text of your note so far:
  1. ddddddd

Now use either of the commands .li or .lr, depending on how many long lines you want to add, to place a long line.

* .lr 1 This is a very long line. This is a very long line. This is a very long line. This is a very long line. This is a very long line. This is a very long line. This is a very long line.

Your line has now been added to the note. You may check .sn or .s to see what it looks like.

* .sn
