Thanks Robert, I had something similar in mind. You're approach works! It doesn't matter that each newline is in fact a new paragraph. But one thing is left I couldn't handle yet. The first section showing some source code is correctly numbered from e.g. 1 to 30, then some lines of regular text follow and afterwards there is another block with source code. But this one continues numbering from 31 instead of restarting from 1. I have not found any possibility yet to set a property to restart this counter... Any hints?
