Number of characters, words and pages (2000 characters = 1 Seite) of an article

If you want to show all information (characters, words and pages) of an article, please use this code:

<bs:countcharacters>ARTIKELNAME</bs:countcharacters>

If you just want to show part of the information, please choose between these different modes:

• chars: Only number of characters.
• words: Only number of words.
• pages: Only number of pages.
• all (Standard): All information.

The mode is defined with "mode":

<bs:countcharacters mode="chars">Name of the article</bs:countcharacters>===Number of users in a system (users who are signed-in)===
<bs:countusers />

The code has to be integrated directly into the article.
