interval." If you have only regular/paragraph text, this should be okay, but as soon as you add sectional units and floats, then things might not line up as expected. Two alternatives are possible: (1) Use LuaLaTeX to "process the input buffer" before content is set on the page; (2) Change this method to put in horizontal rules rather than line numbers after the document is already created.\smash{}
which nullifies increased line height due to larger text. The enclosed text will not wrap, but you can break it into several lines, each with their own\smash{}
