Add an automatic numbering function #345

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Obsidian helps by automatically numbering lists (1. xxx, 2. yyy, 3. zzz, etc). Tables in Obsidian would benefit from automatic numbering as well.

Describe the solution you'd like The context menu that appears when right clicking on a column header could be extended and show "Add line numbers""

Describe alternatives you've considered If you entered a number like entry or even a date in a cell and you press enter and the cell below is empty it could be prefilled with an increasing number or date. Since the pre-filled text is selected the user could simply overwrite the text if it is unwanted or just accepted by pressing enter.

Additional context This could be done natively in Obsidian, but honestly I think this would take too long. I hope that Obsidian will adopt your plugin and integrate it.
