AnQiCMS (English CMS) is an enterprise-level content management system developed based on the Go language, which excels in providing efficient and customizable content management solutions.For most content operators, the convenience of the backend editing experience is crucial, one of the details often paid attention to is the real-time statistics of the number of characters or words in the content.Many content operators often need to pay attention to word count when writing articles, in order to control the length of the article, meet SEO requirements, or comply with specific publishing standards.So, does AnQiCMS's background content editing feature provide real-time word count similar to Microsoft Word?

In AnQiCMS's backend, when we are ready to 'add document', we will enter a feature-rich document content editor.This editor is designed to provide users with a smooth and comprehensive content creation experience.It includes a variety of commonly used editing tools, such as setting title and text styles, bold, underline, italic, strikethrough, and other formatting options.At the same time, it supports convenient insertion of links, images, videos, tables, and code, as well as providing features such as ordered/unordered lists, to-do lists, alignment, and indentation, even allowing the insertion of emojis to meet the diverse needs of daily content creation.For material management, it can also conveniently call the paragraph material library or uploaded image resources, greatly enhancing the efficiency of content editing.Moreover, AnQiCMS also supports Markdown editor, convenient for users accustomed to Markdown syntax, and can handle the display of mathematical formulas and flowcharts.

However, when we carefully review the official documentation of AnQiCMS and the feature descriptions of the backend editor, we did not find a direct mention or display of the real-time word (character) count function.This means that when you use the AnQiCMS backend editor to write content, you may not be able to see the word or character count of the current input content dynamically and immediately, as you might in a Word document or some professional text editors.The focus of the editor is on content layout, formatting, and material integration, rather than real-time word count feedback.

It is worth noting that the template system of AnQiCMS indeed provides a namedwordcountThe filter. But it should be clear that this is not a real-time statistical function in the background editor, but a tool used for front-end template rendering or data processing. In simple terms,wordcountThe filter is used after your content is published, or when template developers need to calculate the word count of specific strings (such as article summaries or titles). It can count the number of words in a string variable within a template, or combinefilterTag to count the number of words in a specified content block. For example, you can write in the template{{ archive.Content|wordcount }}Get the word count of the article content and display it on the website's frontend page, or use it to determine if the content length meets certain display conditions.

For operators accustomed to real-time word count monitoring during content creation, this may mean that when writing content on the AnQiCMS backend, they need to rely on other external tools to assist with word count statistics.For example, you can use browser extensions, standalone text editors, or other word processing software.After completing content editing in the AnQiCMS backend, you can copy the content to these tools for word count verification to ensure that the article length meets expectations, satisfies SEO optimization, or submission requirements.Of course, AnQiCMS still provides strong and efficient support for core functions such as content publishing, multi-site management, advanced SEO tools, and scheduled publishing. The use of these auxiliary tools will not affect its main content management efficiency and system performance.

In general, AnQiCMS's backend content editor provides a comprehensive and easy-to-use rich text editing feature, meeting the daily content publishing needs of enterprises and self-media users. Although the built-in editor does not currently provide a real-time word count feature similar to Word, its flexible template filterwordcountIt still provides developers with the ability to count and control the number of words at the content display level.For the lack of real-time word count, users can consider combining third-party tools to make up for it, and look forward to AnQiCMS further improving the user experience in this aspect in future versions.
