I may misunderstand for the word "line number". Is it same as the line
number in "there are 4000 lines in the main.cpp file, to view it
clearly, you should show the Line Number on left side."?
Should I translate the "Form Line Data" as "Form Number Data" or "Form
Code Data"? I think "Form 1040" is a form number, rather than form
line number. Or that means the form contains 1040 lines of words?
