Description:

prosewc 0.3.4

A prose- and Jekyll-aware wordcount utility.

About
Given the proliferation of Markdown and the use of Jekyll as a blogging
platform, the builtin wc utility came up short. Even for plain-text
prose, wc can leave much to be desired. To that end, prose-wc will
calculate proper word, paragraph, and character counts for a given plaintext,
or markdown file or stream through STDIN.
Also, Madison wanted to learn how to package for PyPI.


Installing
pip install prose-wc


Running
usage: prose-wc [-h] [-S] [-u] [-f [{yaml,json,default}]] [-i [INDENT]] file

Compute Jekyl- and prose-aware wordcounts

positional arguments:
file file to count (or - for STDIN)

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-S, --split-hyphens split hyphenated words rather than counting them as
one word ("non-trivial" counts as two words rather
than one)
-u, --update update the jekyll file in place with the counts. Does
nothing if the file is not a Jekyll markdown file.
Implies format=yaml, invalid with input from STDIN and
non-Jekyll files.
-f [{yaml,json,default}], --format [{yaml,json,default}]
output format.
-i [INDENT], --indent [INDENT]
indentation depth (default: 4).

Accepted filetypes: plaintext, markdown, markdown (Jekyll)
Running prose-wc against a file will generate a series of counts
that might be of use. You can get these counts in a simple,
tab-separated format, JSON, or YAML. If you’re working with a Jekyll
markdown file, you can also choose to have this data embedded in the
frontmatter as YAML.


Other filetypes
You can use pandoc to convert your file and pipe
it into prose-wc:
pandoc -f latex -t plain my_great_story.tex | prose-wc -


In a Jekyll site
You can add wordcount information to your site by running prose-wc -u <file>, which will update the Jekyll frontmatter to include the results in
YAML format. This data can then be included on the page in some place handy such as at the top of a post in _layouts/post.html with:
{% if page.counts %}
<p class="text-muted small">
{{ page.counts.paragraphs }} {% if page.counts.paragraphs == 1 %}paragraph{% else %}paragraphs{% endif %} &bullet;
{{ page.counts.words }} words
</p>
{% endif %}
This would result in something like
this.
You can add wordcounts to posts with a find command like:
find . \( -name '*.md' -or -name '*.markdown' \) -exec prose-wc -u "{}" \;
