[NTG-context] Count the words per line

I am setting with grid-set, and I am wondering, if there is a possibility to count the number of words in the lines (not for each single line, but in average over all lines). That would be helpful to get a perfectly readably book (words per row is one of these readability-measures). That tool

I have one question: - What does it happen when there is a quotation mark () inside the parameter? Do I need to escape the contents passed to the macro? No you don’t have to but you could have checked yourself :) Sorry... I didn't try it when I asked, but I had the impression I did try it

These expand to Lua long strings, [===[ and ]===] respectively, without checking, so theoretically the same issue will arise iff your string contains ]===]. I consider the likelihood for this to happen to be too low to bother, but if you want to be absolutely on the safe side you can also use
