add a word counter to the editor?

[InfernoDev]

I know there may be plugins for this, but is it possible to add this out of the box? would be cool if there was a button for it in the editor without having to use a third party plugin.

We're getting a new editor soonish. Well, when @Chris D and his crew are ready.

Perhaps you mean character counter since XF restricts characters not words.

For some sites a word counter would have its.uses, too. An article forum for posting writing would likely benefit. But, yeah, for most the character count probably matters more. And is easier to implement. Word counting can get tricky, as evidenced by the way my stories' word counts can be slightly different in the writing site's editor and my word processor (LibreOffice Write).

yes a char counter, i sometimes see my self going to one of them char counter sites, would be cool to have that in the editor without using a third party plugin. a lot of the modern editors have a char counter, so maybe its in the new one!
