  Yes, please, CSS and scrapbook counting towards the wordcount is something that always bothers me!   I really like the examples of breaking it down into words per type, too.

  I do have a habit of editing and writing all at once. It's a nasty habit I need to break, but it would make things even just a little easier if the count didn't include BBC/CSS. I'm not sure how this could be fixed, but I hope it can be solved for ease of use - especially for those who are new and don't know about it.   Nonetheless, thank you Dimi and Janet for all you do - as well as the rest of the Inner Sanctum. You guys make things much easier on the two!

  I would dread the thought if it was my responsibility to implement this, yet it would still be a great feature to have.

  I mean if this is all complicated stuff and blabla serverload and whatnot... I'd even be happy if there was a client side attached to a button, so that I could just click it to get an accurate word count. I don't need word count while I type. Just every other paragraph I'd like to see where I am at, without going to preview, marking all, copy it and paste it into a proper online word count page.

  To add, word count is currently impacted by what is both the scrapbook of the article and the gamemaster/storyteller hidden block. It would be nice if that was tallied separately.   When I write up session reports, I use word count to determine ease of reading. Knowing the actual word count of the article without the extra would help that a lot.

  There is a plug-in for the tinymce editor that provides this functionality. Perhaps it could be adapted and/or provide some inspiration. I suspect that having this feature dynamically counting words on the editor side might be too complex. Maybe an actual word count could be calculated server-side and added to the article metadata on the presentation side.

  It would also save judges from having to copy-paste the entire article (in presentation mode) to a separate wordcounter for judging. You could just have Worldanvil do that for them with the improived, internal counter. Yes, please.

  Yes. I, too, believe the word count module should be updated. Perhaps eliminate all words between brackets? Count tagged articles as "one word" (or don't count them at all)? Another suggestion would be (and I'm not sure how hard this would be to implement) somehow put the word counter on the published page rather than in the editor? Have it scan all the words on that side of the article? Regardless of what solutions may be in store, I would love to see this improved. God bless and thanks for suggesting!
