Word Count Extension
A stupid simple word and character count extension. I write a lot of articles in Markdown and needed a simple way to count words. Note that this extension is just splitting on whitespace which means it will count embedded code a bit high. I could strip out code in Markdown (everything tabbed over once), but code counts in article length as well.
