From my understanding, this snippet will count the exact words in the markdown file, and not the real amount of words rendered by it.
This may include the markup tags, which might be undesirable.

Ack, t.split_whitespace() will count markdown elements as words, etc and give a rough word count when markdown elements are involved. On the other hand, I don't think getting the exact word count for markdown files is feasible without some convoluted logic.
If the repo maintainers think the word count needs to be more accurate, I can modify the PR (Off the top of my head, I am thinking I just have to sanitise the text before counting the words)

Some way to get the text preview that zed generates and count words in that, if that is performant enough.

Getting the text that ends up actually being rendered might be possible with tree-sitter queries?

@saahityaedams : The number of words seems different, I have tried different online services for each the number of words seems different.
