Having a characters count option in addition of the word couting #367

Closed dbourrion closed 1 year ago

dbourrion commented 1 year ago

Hi folks

Here's the "little" problem I'm dealing with : I'm writing novels with LaTeX and VSC. Words couting is great but publishers often like (or prefer) to have also the precise number of characters that is in a novel.

It would be great to have, in the status bar, in addition of the number of words, the number of characters.

What about that idea ?

Argh, there another issue about that below. I'm ashamed. Closing. Sorry.

That command line in a linux terminal looks working texcount -char -sum -1 the_file.tex but I have no idea how to put this in a VSC extension :(

And there is the problem of counting \include files, I guess
