Hi,
This is provided on (almost?) all export formats, but yet when looking
at an org-file the prefered way, with emacs, there’s no numbering, by
default.
It’s so useful and simple (using a display text/overlay property), is
there just anything implementing that? mainline? if so why isn’t it?

Interesting. Thank you (I’m unfortunately not very friend with search
engines): that also raises altogether the question of tables of contents.
But that doesn’t answer the question: why “doesn’t it exist”? shouldn’t
these functions be mainlined, if legally permitted?
Btw, since I read overlays create slowness proportional to their
numbers, and that’s surely a lot of overlays, wouldn’t it be better
using text properties? these support `display' as well, and, I checked,
even for strings of different length: is there a particular reasons they
wouldn’t work as well?

What kind of numbering are we talking about? A semi-permanent (i.e.,
togglable) naive numbering (e.g., not taking into account UNNUMBERED
property) for every headline?
Could you explain what are the use cases for that?

Yes. Didn’t know about UNNUMBERED, thanks, it is of interest for this issue.

As said in the previously mentioned stackoverflow question: helps
seeing where you are and how much sections are there. To me it is
especially useful to avoid writing manually the number of the section to
know I’m currently in “exercice 8” or something alike.
Btw, some desirable feature as well would be automatic naming (as I
already do sometimes in LaTeX), such as appending whole “Exercice 8” or
“Section 8” for a desired specific level, instead of just a number.

But you don't need to number the whole buffer, do you? A breadcrumb like
feature could be enough. E.g., you hit <SPC> at the beginning of
a headline and get the numbering in addition to the outline path.

I don't understand what you mean.

At least the screen.

I’d prefer. I find sad that all export backend supports this while raw
emacs doesn’t. It is neat to see, and to, just by looking at the
screen, which section has which number.

Getting displayed, given “* Foo”, instead of “* 3.2 — Foo”, “* Exercice
3.2 — Foo” (with this naming configurable).

Output from export back-ends is static. A currently-edited Org document
isn't.

You may be interested in "org-outline-numbering" package, then. It seems
to implement what you want.

That’s why it’d require special font-lock-like and lazy update
facilities : when you insert (or move) a node, you need to update the
same-level following nodes (or exchange numbering with the near node).

No it doesn’t update anything, and doesn’t color number compatibly with
outlining. Also it’s not integrated in org and only available in melpa,
unsigned.

As I was offline for a few days, I toyed a bit with this. I wrote the
following library. I didn't test it thoroughly. I didn't write
regression tests either.
Also, it ignores UNNUMBERED property and export tags. I have the feeling
these are orthogonal requirements (i.e., if you want to see the
numbering obtained upon export, just export your document).
You may want to test it. It could go in GNU ELPA or some such if fast
and accurate enough.

Although I probably won't use this often, I have tried it out and it
seems to work very well. I've only tried a couple of articles where
numbering makes some sense. Looks good too.

+1 for releasing the org-num.el lib.

I really wish it did support UNNUMBERED (and perhaps COMMENT and
:ARCHIVED: too) though :(

I took it for a spin on a few org files of moderate size (a few
thousand lines) and it seems to work pretty well. I didn’t
extensively test or look for corner cases though.
Would love to see it on GNU ELPA.
Best,
