In the Bullet/Numbering toolbar (or context menu), there is an option to 
restart the numbering.

Hi!

The Situation:
If have regular text sections describing some kind of software. In some
cases it is necessary to provide some lines of source-code (such as Java
or PHP). Sometimes it is also required to reference from the regular
text secitions to a certain line of such a source-code-box (e.g. "as you
can see in line 14 of the code-section...").

The problem:
I'm looking for a solution to have automatically shown line numbers for
the source-code-sections. Tools>Line Numbering offers a possibility to
do this for the whole document and I can reduce this to selected
sections, but these line numbers appear very left to the section - but
I'd like to have them inside a given section that is styled with a
border, background, etc.

Any hints on that? Thanks in advance to everyone for some feedback!

You could try using a list style and assign it to a paragraph style. That would give you lots of control where the line numbers appear (at least on the left side, which is what you want), unlike the line numbering tool. The downside is each paragraph, not line, would be numbered. For source code, though, this shouldn't be a big issue.

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? Thanks!
