Frequently Asked Questions
How are chapters detected?
Automatic mode splits on Markdown headings and on lines starting with Chapter followed by a number, and it also recognises Part headings. You can restrict splitting to headings only or to Chapter lines only, and text before the first chapter is reported as front matter.
Why do chapter lengths matter?
Total word count hides the shape of a book. Per-chapter counts reveal uneven pacing, chapters that need expanding or splitting, and whether the structure matches your target length.
Does the counter change my manuscript?
No. The tool only measures your pasted text in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
