Описание тега word-count
The word count is the number of words in a document or passage of text.
Word counting may be needed when a text is required to stay within a certain number of words. This may particularly be the case in academia, legal proceedings, journalism and advertising. Word count is commonly used by translators to define the price for a translation job. Word counts may also be used to calculate measures of readability and to measure typing and reading speeds (usually in words per minute).
Most word processors can do automatic word counts; Unix-like systems include a program called wc specifically for word counting. Different word counting programs may give varying results, depending on:
- the definition of a "word",
- the text segmentation algorithms,
- whether words outside the main text such as footnotes or hidden text are counted.
