Do you mean the _links_ numbered? That's the one thing that annoys me
most, and I know of no way around it.. (I tried to add the "obvious"
line of code into Lynx to add a -nonumber_links option but it didn't work..)
I do a
/usr/local/bin/lynx -useragent='Mozilla/4.04 [en]' -nolist -dump

as a daily crontab job, and the annoying thing is the numbered links..
