To meet some formal guidelines, I need to provide a word count of my abstract and a character count of the main text, and a character count of all the text appearing in figure captions.

Is this possible (maybe using some lua-magic)?

Thank you!
Thomas


Minimal example:

\definestartstop
    [abstract]
    [style=bold,
    after={\blank[big]}]

\starttext
\title{My title: example of a word and character count}

{\strut\tfx Formal guidelines: word count of abstract: $x$, character
count of main text: $x$, character count of figure captions: $x$.}
\blank

\startabstract
This is the abstract. Read this and that.
\stopabstract

% start of the main text
Some random text with formulas

\startformula
y = α + βx + ε, \quad ε \sim N(0,σ^2)
\stopformula

And there are also figures with captions.

\startplacefigure[
    location=bottom,
    title={Residual plot with time $t$ on the x-axis and
    residuals $e_{jt}$ on the y-axis},
    reference={fig:subject-residual}]
\externalfigure[residuals][height=.242\textheight]
\stopplacefigure

And some more text with $x$ and $y$ and $z$, and \placeformula

\startformula \startalign
\NC a =\NC b \NR
\NC c =\NC d \NR
\stopalign \stopformula

And stop.
\stoptext
