The method, explained

Split on line endings, trim each line, remove empty lines and prefix the remaining items with consecutive integers.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Research, Write and Review on separate lines become 1. Research, 2. Write and 3. Review.

What to keep in mind

Blank lines are removed and indentation is trimmed. Existing numbers are preserved, so remove old numbering first if needed.
