Does anyone know a way to add cell numbers (not line numbers within cells)? I have been using nbextensions for a while but it does not seem to have the ability to label cell numbers.

There is a cell tag feature. It allows any kind of label for individual cells, including numbers.

Cell tags are found in the "View" menu, then "Cell Toolbar".

If you need it for a presentation, open the Notebook with a text editor, find the brackets where cell numbers fall and change them manually. If it's something you have to do once.
