INSTALLATION
------------
Linux and Mac
-------------
Prerequisites - python 2.6 installed (usually installed by default, should also work with older versions)
Instructions - download LatexWC1.x.py and put the file in a convenient location. In a terminal, cd to the same directory and type "python LatexWC.py" and find your .tex file.
Windows
-------
Prerequisites - none
Instructions - download LatexWC1.xWin.zip and extract .zip folder wherever is convenient (i.e program files) and double-click on LatexWC.exe in the extracted folder and find your .tex file. Create a shortcut to LatexWC.exe on your desktop for ease if desired.
---------
FUNCTIONS
---------
Takes a .tex file of your choosing and counts the words, ignoring command words, tables, figures, equations, section headings and titles etc.
------------
KNOWN ISSUES
------------
Does not count bold, italic or underlined words.
Counts commands that begin '{\' as words
Cannot cope if there is a $$ and $ in a single word (unlikely to occur!)
-----
TO-DO
-----
Add list of recent files to avoid having to search for the .tex file each time as it is likely to be used on the same file several times.
Add customisable list to override default lists and whether to ignore or keep italics etc.
