# texcount
> Count words in TeX documents omitting macros.
> Note: if the TeX document uses `\include` or `\input` and you want to count the included files, `texcount` must be run in the directory of the root TeX file.
> More information: <https://app.uio.no/ifi/texcount/howto.html>.
- Count words in a TeX file:
`texcount {{path/to/file.tex}}`
- Count words in a document and subdocuments built with `\input` or `\include`:
`texcount -merge {{file.tex}}`
- Count words in a document and subdocuments, listing each file separately (and a total count):
`texcount -inc {{file.tex}}`
- Count words with verbose output:
`texcount -v {{path/to/file.tex}}`
