;;; Commentary:

;; This file is for use within emacs-wiki mode only.
;; When emacs-wiki-count-words is called while in a emacswiki buffer, 
;; the number of words after converting the buffer to html and parsing 
;; it is returned.
;; I find it convenient to bind this function to C-x w analogous to C-x l 
;; which calls the built in function (count-lines-page)
;; Example:
;; While in an EmacsWiki buffer, press C-x w to get the number of words in 
;; the wiki buffer
;;; Code:

(defun count-words (&optional silent)
  "Counts the number of words in the buffer.
   If silent is t, then does not print message."
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char 0)
    (let ((inhibit-field-text-motion t)
	  (count 0))
      (while (forward-word 1)
	(setq count (1+ count)))
      (if (not silent)
	  (message (format "There are %d words in current buffer." count)))
      count)))
