Subject: Re: Context-sensitive word count in org mode (elisp)
Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2011 23:28:14 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20110217T002249-206@post.gmane.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: loom.20110216T044140-839@post.gmane.org

Thanks for all the suggestions. Here is version 2.

Improvements:
- ignores source code blocks
- ignores tags and TODO keywords in headings
- ignores footnotes by default (option to force counting them)
- skips any sections tagged as not for export
- option to count words in latex macro arguments (they are ignored
  by default)

I would still like to count hyperlink descriptions but am not sure
how -- is there a function that fetches the description of the hyperlink
at point?

Paul

  "Report the number of words in the Org mode buffer or selected region.
Ignores:
- comments
- tables
- source code blocks (#+BEGIN_SRC ... #+END_SRC, and inline blocks)
- hyperlinks
- tags, priorities, and TODO keywords in headers
- sections tagged as 'not for export'.

The text of footnote definitions is ignored, unless the optional argument
COUNT-FOOTNOTES? is non-nil.

If the optional argument COUNT-LATEX-MACRO-ARGS? is non-nil, the word count
includes LaTeX macro arguments (the material between {curly braces}).
Otherwise, and by default, every LaTeX macro counts as 1 word regardless
of its arguments."
