Feature Request: Ignore YAML in word counts #158

Closed matthewmerendo closed 1 year ago

matthewmerendo commented 1 year ago

Describe the solution you'd like Pretty self-explanatory. It seems that the word count for each scene includes words in the YAML, which I exclude from compilation. This YAML matter can get long, since I include notes on each scene -- what to accomplish, what to edit, etc. As YAML is by definition metadata, the YAML should not be included in the word count.

Describe alternatives you've considered I've considered using a separate note for each scene, but that's cumbersome and icky.

I just now realized this is already in place -- I was looking at a different word count plugin that was showing the YAML-included numbers. Sorry!
