Convert bulleted lists into numbered lists

This tool converts bulleted lists into numbered lists. It scans your text for lines that start with bullet markers (such as "-", "*", or "•") and replaces them with numbered items. You can choose to convert all bullet items, only those whose text includes (or excludes) specified substrings, or format the numbered items using a custom format. Additional options allow you to restrict conversion to specific bullet markers and to preserve the original indentation of your lists.

Exclude Items Containing Specified Substrings
Converts all bullet items except those whose text contains the specified substring(s). Enter a comma‑separated list (e.g., Skip, Ignore).
