More Info

counter README

A very small extension that counts the words in the document and the selected ones. I defined the word count to be equivalent to

string.split(" ").split("\n").length

I know, that this is not the perfect way of doing it, but it just fits my needs for now.

Features

Shows a little word counter in the status bar, which counts the word and the selected ones.

Requirements

None

Extension Settings

None

Known Issues

  • slow/ugly implementation of counting.
  • imperfect definition of "word"
