Word Count for Each TOC entry
Word count for each TOC entry
It would be great if Calibre had a feature where somehow, someway it would display the word count of each table of contents (TOC) entry. The reason that I bring this up is because I read a lot of short story collections and anthologies, and I keep a list of every novelette, novella, and novel that I read. The criteria for novelette, novella, and novel are based on word count. I know that Sigil can do something similar in that it displays word count for each .html file in the tools-->reports section as well as the total word count for the entire ebook. The “Count Pages” plug-in only provides the total number of words for the entire ebook, not for each short story/chapter/TOC entry. For that, a new feature or plug-in would have to be created for Calibre. As of now I have subsisting on using the Calibre Viewer and copying then pasting the section that appear long enough to be a novelette onto Microsoft Word and getting a word count via that method. Yes, I am aware of Internet speculative fiction database, but their calculations are often wrong or non-existent. I believe this feature or pugin-in would provide a great addition to Calibre and save many souls. Thank you for your time. Or, does anyone know of a way to currently get the word count of individual files by clicking on them? Thanks. |
