What the Word Counter measures
Word count
Words are counted by separating non-empty groups of text around whitespace characters such as spaces, tabs, and line breaks.
Character count
The character count includes letters, numbers, punctuation, spaces, and other characters in the text.
Characters without spaces
This count removes whitespace characters before calculating the number of remaining characters.
Sentences
Sentence counting looks for common sentence-ending punctuation such as periods, question marks, and exclamation marks.
Paragraphs
Paragraphs are identified from blocks of text separated by blank lines.
Lines
Lines are counted according to the line breaks present in the text editor.
