Option to count words instead of characters? #2

Open jenlampton opened 3 years ago

jenlampton commented 3 years ago

I have a site that would like to limit body fields to a number of words, rather than characters. Would it be reasonable to include that option?

It's been requested, twice, for Drupal, and closed as "wont fix" in spite of the support for the request, when the module was updated for Drupal 8 because keeping the module focused on character counts makes for a lightweight, simple module.

There are some drupal 7 patches I could start with if you were open to it.

Seems very reasonable 👍

This seems like a good idea. We're now using this module on a site and they are ok with characters, but would prefer words.
