Frequently asked questions
Can I start numbering from a number other than 1?
Yes. Set any starting value — useful when you are continuing a list from an earlier section.
What does "pad with zeros" do?
It pads numbers to equal width (01, 02 … 10) so the list lines up neatly in monospaced fonts and sorts correctly.
