Is there a tag I can insert to exclude document from word count? #46

Problem

What problem would your idea solve? How do you currently manage this problem?

Currently all words in my weekly journal are included in the daily count. This includes numbers for time, rants and mundane details which I don't want to count towards my actual sense of achievement that day.

I could just have my routine in a separate document, but I often have uncontrolled brain farts which end up in there until I properly move them across to the right places.

To manage this presently I count my words added to my weekly journal and then subtract them from my total, then write that down in the weekly journal. Minus two more words, for the '#### words' I just wrote.

Idea

Describe the feature you want to suggest.

A (ExcludeFromBetterWordCount) tag that can be inserted perhaps as a comment at the top of a markdown document.

Thank you for your lovely work either way.

As of v2.19.0, published just now, you can add the exclude-from-word-count tag to frontmatter to exclude a note from most counts. For details, see the "Excluding notes" section of the README: https://github.com/isaaclyman/novel-word-count-obsidian/tree/master#excluding-notes
