in thread Adding Line Numbers to the MIT Shakespeare

perl shake.pl lear.htm > learout.htm

Adding the style sheet as instructed produced results for me, every 5th line is numbered on the right hand side.

Update: should you wish line numbers to be displayed at a different frequency the part of the code which deals with this is fairly simple to alter.

Update 2: Observations from your youtube video:

HTML

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="lear_files +/shake.css">

Directory/file

C:\>dir lear_files Volume in drive C is XP MP 3.01 Volume Serial Number is CE02-00E2 Directory of C:\lear_files 15/02/2013 09:39 <DIR> . 15/02/2013 09:39 <DIR> .. 15/02/2013 09:39 259 shake.css

If you don't have this css in the location (note that in your file it's looking for /shake.css) it won't render properly on screen. Get this file, save it to your Shakespeare directory.

Update 3: http://shakespeare.mit.edu/shake.css

    Now it worked.

    I just had to save "complete webpage" instead of "single HTML".

    Thanks a lot, marto!
