An accurate word counter for Gutenberg ebook texts.
On a Guterberg ebook page it will count the ebook text, excluding the Gutenberg disclaimer and legalese. This will work whether you are on the main page, the HTML page (or as-submitted), or on the plain text page.
On the main ebook page, the results will be appended just below the cover image.
On any of the reading pages, the counter will appear fixed to the top right corner of the window.
On the Gutenberg search results page or the subject page, will append the word count to all search results! (So, if you're looking for a short short story, you don't have to go counting every book that comes up in search.)
words are counted thus: text.trim().split(/--|[\s\*—]+/).length
