<p id="par_id1116200901133998" class="paragraph" dir="auto">In general, every string of characters between two spaces is a word. Dashes, tabs, line breaks, and paragraph breaks are word limits, too.</p>
<p id="par_id1116200901133985" class="paragraph" dir="auto">Words with always visible hyphens, as in plug-in, add-on, user/config, are counted as one word each.</p>
<p id="par_id111620090113399" class="paragraph" dir="auto">The words can be a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters. So the following text counts as four words: abc123 1.23 "$" http://www.example.com.</p>
<p id="par_id111620090113400" class="paragraph" dir="auto">To add a custom character to be considered as the word limit, choose <span id="swlnsystextswriterguidewords_countxml_1" class="switchinline"><span hidden="true" id="MACtextswriterguidewords_countxml_1" class="MAC"><span class="emph">LibreOffice - Preferences</span></span><span hidden="true" id="defaulttextswriterguidewords_countxml_1"><span class="emph">Tools - Options</span></span></span><span class="emph"> - LibreOffice Writer - General</span> and add the character into the <span class="emph">Additional separators</span> field.</p>
