I’m pretty proud of this. I made the world’s least efficient character counter:
<Set content>Add or reference your content here.</Set>
<Catch>
<Loop times=99999>
<Set trimmed_content><Format length="{Get loop=count}"><Get content /></Format></Set>
<If variable=content is value="{Get trimmed_content}">
<Set character_count><Get loop=count /></Set>
<Exit />
</If>
</Loop>
</Catch>
<p><Get character_count /> characters</p>
Can you come up with a hackier template than this? I’d love to see your “creative” use of L&L!
