addLineNumbering

The line number increments to display: if set to one (default value) all lines are numbered, if set, for example to five only each fifth line will be numbered and the numbers will jump accordingly (5, 10, 15...).
The start number: it is one by default.
The distance between the line numbers and the corresponding paragraphs.
The restarting conditions: one may choose if the numbering is continuous (default behaviour) or if it should be restarted in each new document page or section.

Code samples

Example #1:

package examples.LayoutAndGeneral.addLineNumbering;

import com.javadocx.CreateDocx;
import com.javadocx.elements.*;

public class Sample1 {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        CreateDocx docx = new CreateDocx();
        
        docx.addLineNumbering();
        
        OptionsText textOptions = new OptionsText();
        textOptions.setText("This is just a chunk of text that we will repeat couple of times to fill up some space. This is just a chunk of text that we will repeat couple of times to fill up some space.");
        docx.addText(textOptions);
        
        textOptions.setText("Another chunk of text");
        docx.addText(textOptions);
        
        textOptions.setText("This is just a chunk of text that we will repeat couple of times to fill up some space. This is just a chunk of text that we will repeat couple of times to fill up some space.");
        docx.addText(textOptions);
        
        docx.createDocx("example_addLineNumbering_1");
    }
}

The resulting Word document looks like:
