Summary description: A Paragraph statistic package for OpTeX
Announcement text:
Parstat is a package for the OpTeX format that counts glyphs and spaces on paragraph lines. From these numbers a statistic is made, which is printed into the logfile. It’s intended for checking the optimal range of characters and words on paragraph lines when designing a new layout. No external tools are needed, as all is done in Lua inside the TeX engine. Due to this, it integrates perfectly into our specific work. We can omit what we don’t want in the results. It’s also very fast and consumes no extra memory. I know it’s a small and simple package, but I believe that it could be useful for someone else...
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/parstat The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/optex/parstat/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese
CTAN is run entirely by volunteers and supported by TeX user groups. Please join a user group or donate to one, see https://ctan.org/lugs
