🛠 Usage & Settings

• Use /Word count. It will then count the number of words below this parent block. This supports an unlimited number of nested blocks.
• You can use more than 1 word counter in a single page. Just prefix the blocks you would like to count with another /Word count.
• It also supports counting sentences that have both English and Chinese/ Japanese words. E.g. 敏捷的棕色狐狸跳过了懒狗 is a funny phrase returns 16 words.
• You can also use /Character count to count the number of characters (including spaces) instead of words.
• Turn on the "Wordcount Toolbar" setting and total word count of the page will be displayed in the toolbar.

Styling the wordcount button

You can style the wordcount button using the class .wordcount-btn. Simply add it into your custom.css.

Example:

.wordcount-btn {
    border-color: red;
    font-size: 2em;
}

Customising text in the wordcount button

Go to plugin settings, and make the changes as you like.

Migrating from Roam

Roam uses {{word-count}}. All you need to do is to replace each instance of {{word-count}} with {{renderer :wordcount_abc123}} (abc123 can be any other string you want). You can also a use a terminal command (in MacOS or Linux) to do so. In terminal, navigate to the folder (e.g. pages) and run the following command.

find . -type f -name '*.md' -exec sed -i '' s/word-count/renderer\ :wordcount_abc123/g {} +
