I need to add line number in the latex {revtex4-1} generated pdf file. I am using the userpakage \usepackage{lineno} and \linenumbers after \begin{document}. It's showing the line number but very close to the text file.

I want the line number in the extreme left of the page. Can someone please help.

  • Welcome to TeX - LaTeX! Can you add a complete minimal document showing the problem.

  • You can try something like \setlength\linenumbersep{1cm} to adjust the space between the line numbers and the text.

Change \linenumbersep to be 1in plus \oddsidemargin, but then subtract the width of the box reserved for the numbers, that is, \linenumberwidth.

\documentclass{revtex4-1}

\usepackage{lineno}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\linenumbers

\AtBeginDocument{%
  \setlength{\linenumbersep}{\dimexpr\oddsidemargin+1in-\linenumberwidth\relax}%
}

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1-20]

\end{document}
