Word count of an HTML help system?
Oooh -- that's tricky!

Of course!  Thanks for that, Grant.  I'll definitely do it that way next
time.

Now, a related question.  Normally I'd post this to the HATT list but
since
Adobe also makes Robo, I thought it might be okay to post the question
to
this list.

What is the best way to do a wordcount of an HTML help system?  I used
the
single source method and converted my help system to a Word doc, but it
took
a while and I don't know how accurate the conversion is.

Thanks,
Diane

Quick workaround for that 
Build a book that has only the content files, (No TOC or Index).

Bookinfo works great, I use it myself.  But one word of caution.  If you
are
counting the words in a book for localization purposes, be sure to
substract
the number of words in the TOC and index.  These files are not counted
because they are generated from words and phrases (titles, for example)
that
are would already be translated when the vendor generates the TOC and
index
for the translated book.

Hi Esar,

If you have FrameScript, I have a script that will do this. The cost for the 
script is $40. Please let me know if you are interested. Thank you very 
much.
