Sorry I misunderstood what you were after. I'm afraid I still don't quite
get it. Are you taking in some XML/HTML source like:
<html>
<head>
<title>this title is less than 60 characters</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>But this is a long paragraph that goes on and on and on and on over
the 60 character limit. And I care about where the spaces are as well.</p>
...
and wanting to output (this must just be plain text because you can't have
a line number before the document element):
1 <html>
2 <head>
3 <title>this title is less than 60 characters</title>
4 </head>
5 <body>
6 <p>But this is a long paragraph that goes on and on and
7 on and on over the 60 character limit. And I care about
8 where the spaces are as well.</p>
9 ...
Or are you just concerned about, say, paragraphs, and wanting to wrap and
number them, creating XML:
<html>
<head>
<title>this title is less than 60 characters</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>
1 But this is a long paragraph that goes on and on and on
2 and on over the 60 character limit. And I care about
3 where the spaces are as well.
</p>
...
or something similar?
Cheers,
