countersline-numbering
I'm using the lineno package to print line numbers (each page starts with number one) in the draft of my document:
\usepackage[switch*, pagewise]{lineno}
Is there a way to read out the number of lines in the whole document (or even per chapter) from one of the aux files?
I do only want to count the "real" text lines, not the headers and footers, so a sum of all the linenumbers would be quite useful. (Even if also floats are counted as one line each.)
Your MWE can be greatly reduced to be
\documentclass{revtex4}
\usepackage{lineno}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\pagewiselinenumbers
\begin{document}
\Blindtext
\end{document}
With such a simple MWE it becomes clear that the problem is an interaction between revtex4 and lineno. Searching the lineno documentation yields:
- if a class changes
\output(APS journal class revtex4, e.g.), lineno.sty should be loaded by\RequirePackage[here presumably following some options in brackets]{lineno}preceding\documentclass.
Leading to a working MWE of
\RequirePackage{lineno}
\documentclass{revtex4}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\pagewiselinenumbers
\begin{document}
\Blindtext
\end{document}
If you're not using any special packages, the following would be sufficient:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{etoolbox,lineno}% http://ctan.org/pkg/{etoolbox,lineno}
\usepackage{lipsum}% http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum
\makeatletter
% \patchcmd{<cmd>}{<search>}{<replace>}{<success>}{<failure>}
\patchcmd{\@startsection}{\@ifstar}{\nolinenumbers\@ifstar}{}{}
\patchcmd{\@xsect}{\ignorespaces}{\linenumbers\ignorespaces}{}{}
\makeatother
\linenumbers
\begin{document}
\section{A section} \lipsum[2]
\subsection{Another section} \lipsum[2]
\subsubsection{Final section} \lipsum[2]
\end{document}
There are two patches applied with the aid of etoolbox.
\nolinenumbers as part of \@startsection - called just after \par is issued to ensure there is no line numbers in the sectional title line;\linenumbers just after the sectional title has been set.The specific location of these insertions will allow for unnumbered sectional units of all types (starred or not), although the effect will not be visible in some instances (like \paragraph and \subparagraph, by default), since run-in sections have text immediately following the title.
Best Answer
The last annotation in the
.auxfile made bylinenois of the formwhere
251is the global number of counted lines and5is the last page number. Of course this will depend on the document.If you say
in your preamble, you'll see a message such as
in the log file (and on the terminal window).
