+# Absolute And Relative Line Numbers
+
+By default, vim uses absolute line numbering. This can be turned off with `set nonumber` or more concisely `set nonu`. Turn it back on with `set nu`. Get more details at `:h number`.
+
+Vim also supports relative line numbers. If you'd rather use relative line numbers, first turn off absolute line numbers (`set nonu`) and then turn on relative line numbers with `set relativenumber`. Shave off some characters with `set rnu`. As you might expect, you can turn off relative numbering with `set nornu`.
+
+See `:h relativenumber` for more details.
