zem_article_info is a very simple plugin that displays some extra information on the article > write page.

When editing an existing article, you’ll see something like this just below the Last Modified details:

705 words (680 + 25) | permlink | comments

The first item is a word count: the total words, followed by individual counts for the body and excerpt.

permlink is a link to the individual article permlink page.

comments will display a short summary of article comments, if any, with edit links for each.

The information is not real time; it is updated when you save an article or open it for editing.
