Say you have this

And you want to have this

Well, easy. Copy the string [[Image(grep_1.png)]] (use C-space, C-e, M-w). Enter cua-mode M-x cua-mode, then hit C-Enter to start a rectangle. Create a rectangle of 6 lines by 1 column, like so :

Then hit M-s to insert a string. You can paste the string [[Image(grep_1.png)]] here with C-y, you should get this :

But we need different values right ? we want grep_1, grep_2, grep_3 etc. Easy. Exit the rectangle-selection mode by hitting C-Enter again, and go to the first 1 (on first line), then start a new rectangle again with C-Enter, you then select that column on all lines, like so :

Now Type M-n to insert a sequence, starting from 1 and incrementing by 1. You get this as a result :

Tadaaaaaa

EDIT : somebody on reddit (prakashk) expressed his opinion about emacs article not giving what key sequences are bound to because M-n didn't do anything in his configuration. As I have replied there, one must be in cua-mode and have started a rectangle with C-Enter in order for M-n to be bound to the cua-sequence-rectangle function
