Questions
Line Counter — FAQ
Is a final empty line counted?
No. If your text ends with a line break, the empty space after it is not treated as another line.
How is the average line length worked out?
It is the total length of all non-empty lines divided by the number of non-empty lines, rounded to one decimal place.
Does it count wrapped lines on screen?
No. It counts real lines that end with a line break, not lines created by the screen width.
