10.2.37 Word and Character Counts

Beneath the Note menu there is an option to Show Counts. If you are using the Notenik Markdown parser, then selecting this item will display a window showing five separate numbers pertaining to the Body field of the currently selected Note.

• Total Markdown Size – This is the total number of characters contained in the body field.
• Number of Markdown Lines – The number of lines in the body field. A line is counted only when ended by a line break or by the end of the Body field.
• Number of Words – The number of words contained in the Body field.
• The number of text characters (excluding spaces and punctuation) contained in the Body field.
• The average length of each word, calculated by dividing the Number of Text Characters by the Number of Words.
• Minutes to Read, calculated by dividing the number of words by 225.

Counts are only available if you are using the Notenik Markdown parser.

The Counts window will be refreshed each time you save your edits to a Note, or when a new Note is selected.

Only one Counts window is ever shown (no matter how many Collections you have open).
