- use wc (lines/words/chars count), e.g. "wc yourfile.lyx" to estimate the (relative?!) number of words
This will count the title, author's name and all markup as well as the body text.
- first convert to pdf, then use a tool that can count words in pdf documents, e.g. http://www.globalrendering.com/download.html http://www.handyarchive.com/free/word-count/ - let someone or yourself implement this great feature in lyx ;) I bet it is already a requested feature. This would be easy, just integrate one of the previous programs?
Thanks, all. I suspected the answer was "no" and you've all confirmed that. Off to emacs it is.
