Numbers and Brackets in the Text

The idea
The anchor's Hamlet prints line numbers and bracketed note markers inside the verse. Those belong to the edition, not to Shakespeare. Amendment V-9 applies: typography is never made a teaching point, and an exam passage will be cleaner than a scholarly one.
In practice
Brackets belong to the editor.
Where people slip
Never a teaching point, per V-9.
