position-line

Returns the line number of the line containing a given position. Lines are numbered starting with 0.

Calling this method may force the recalculation of location information if a maximum width is set for the editor, even if the editor currently has delayed refreshing (see refresh-delayed?). If the editor is not displayed and the editor has a maximum width, line breaks are calculated as for line-start-position.

See also paragraph-start-position, which operates on paragraphs (determined by explicit newline characters) instead of lines (determined by both explicit newline characters and automatic line-wrapping).
