Adding the style sheet as instructed produced results for me, every 5th line is numbered on the right hand side.

Update: should you wish line numbers to be displayed at a different frequency the part of the code which deals with this is fairly simple to alter.

Update 2: Observations from your youtube video:

HTML

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="lear_files
+/shake.css">

[download]

Directory/file

C:\>dir lear_files
 Volume in drive C is XP MP 3.01
 Volume Serial Number is CE02-00E2

 Directory of C:\lear_files

15/02/2013  09:39    <DIR>          .
15/02/2013  09:39    <DIR>          ..

If you don't have this css in the location (note that in your file it's looking for /shake.css) it won't render properly on screen. Get this file, save it to your Shakespeare directory.
