Line Renumbering
Do you have a text that's cited by line, but the lines are only numbered every five?
If so, use fix-misc.pl, in the Perl folder of this repo.
Run perl fix-misc.pl in your command line for a usage message.
The usage message will probably read fix-misc.pl <input file> <output file> <source language>.
This means that to run it, you need to copy the path to the file you want to run it on, in quotes, into the position where <input file> is. <output file> refers to what you want to call the new, renumbered file produced. <source language> is the language of the text--it should be 'la' for Latin, 'grc' for Ancient Greek, 'eng' for English, and so on.
NB: The issue of composite lines or unclear line breaks/numbers is open for discussion. For now, different editorial solutions have been proposed. See Drama Line Numbering for latest documentation.
