Hi, I got python code going to number the text automatically but it numbers empty paragraphs between notes for spacing. Does anyone got any ideas to make it skip every second paragraphs or something? Cheers.

Replace all your doubled new line characters with a new line character and one line’s worth of spaces/tabs followed by a zero width space character and then a beeline character. This should ensure you get the ‘visual space’ you want without causing a new paragraph.

TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
for textNote in textNotes:
	textNote = UnwrapElement(textNote)
	textNote.Text = "\v\r".join([x for x in textNote.Text.split("\r") if x])	
	formatText = textNote.GetFormattedText()

	formatText.SetListStartNumber(textRange, IN[1])
	formatText.SetAllCapsStatus(True)
	textNote.SetFormattedText(formatText)	
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
