Is the character count “wc --char <textfile>” returns with or without

that.
I had hoped there was a better way than to edit the result of
“pdftotext” in my text editor or in libreoffice writer (deleting
unnecessary carriage returns and spaces by searching for regular
expressions) which are able to do the count I need. In fact I had hoped
that ConTeXt was able to count the characters and spaces it renders to
PDF (is that theoretically possible?) …
it's not too hard so maybe when i'm bored or see a good reason ..
