Word Count
lth
if one is available? It would be great for the count to be displayed
for every tiddler, say after the date.
The reason I need this is that I am using tiddlywiki to organise my
research notes, and write articles. As with much scientific writing,
the more precise the better (and there are usually limits).
Thanks.

I just trawled through Google and I think they don't).
Nice idea though.. Anyone want to write it?
;D

I've never seen one, but the NaNoWriMo folk might have one..(actually
I just trawled through Google and I think they don't).
Nice idea though.. Anyone want to write it?
Would something simple like this do the trick ? (untested)
config.macros.wordcount = {};
config.macros.wordcount.handler = function(place,macroName,params,wikifier,paramString,tiddler)
{
wikify(tiddler.text.split(" ").length,place);
}
Something like that in the ViewTemplate should do the trick.
Cheers,

spliting the sting up by spaces, but that would also mean two spaces
would add a word in the count, which is not true, also it would think
of punctuation as a word. Since the \w only matches what could be a
word in RegExp syntax, you could just check for that. I have seen one
that would be like this as a macro:
config.macros.wordcount = {};
config.macros.wordcount.handler =
function(place,macroName,params,wikifier,paramString,tiddler)
{
createTiddlyText(place,tiddler.text.match(/\w+/g).length);
}

A word count would be better with a RegExp. With the one above you are
spliting the sting up by spaces, but that would also mean two spaces

Good points there Bradley. I would have taken the RegExp route myself, if I knew the first thing about regular expressions!
