Ability to exclude code blocks from word count #76

Closed Mestru closed 8 months ago

Mestru commented 8 months ago

Problem I'm (and I assume some people are also) using a lot of ``` code blocks to write dataview and dataviewjs scripts to visualise things within our obsidian notes. Currently Novel word count is counting code written within those code blocks as words. I acknowledge that it might be useful for a one-off note to track amount of words written within code blocks but for scenarios where I put a code block in my template which I then reuse over multiple notes, it artificially blows up the word count which is not ideal.

Idea It would be nice to either offer an option to exclude code blocks from word counting OR offer a customizable solution that lets users define a prefix/suffix/something that will indicate the following to not be tracked.

Thanks for the work you did in creating the plugin and have a nice day regardless of what you think of this suggestion :)
