Description

A longtext field but with a counter for number of words used displayed next to the input field. Maximum number of words can be specified as a guide but not enforced. maxlength attribute can be used to enforce maximum number of characters as a suitable multiple (e.g. 7.5) of the maxwords.

Requires jQuery JavaScript library to be added to the archive as cfg/static/javascript/auto/directory/00_jquery.js. Tested to work with latest (v3.5.1) version of jQuery. May cause issues with existing JavaScript within EPrints.
