In the <Statistics | Document Statistics> menu, you can view basic information for each document. When you select a document, the information appears on the “Basics”, “Paragraph Type”, and “Chapter” tabs. Short documents do not have the “Chapter” tab.

Basic Information

The analysis includes hidden chapters and paragraphs. The information is provided not only for the document but also for each chapter and paragraph type.

Basic document information
Item	Description
Chapter Count	Number of chapters
Element Count	Number of paragraphs
Word Count	Number of words separated by spaces, tabs, and line breaks
Letter Count	Number of all characters except spaces, tabs, and line breaks, including special characters
Reference Count	Number of all links
Inline Image Count	Number of all inline images

Note the following.

Document and chapter titles do not affect the word and character counts.
Referenced chapters affect only the chapter count.
All object paragraphs, including Include Other Elements, affect only the paragraph count.
Syntax such as *, #, and + in ordered lists, unordered lists, definition lists, and callout lists is not included in the character count.
When an image caption is hidden, the image caption does not affect the analysis.
When a table caption is hidden, the table caption does not affect the analysis.
An index set with a mark is counted as the content of its paragraph.
A footnote is counted as the content of the paragraph where the footnote is set.

On the “Basics” tab, click “Reference Count” to show a list of the links in the document with their chapters, links, and URLs. Use the “Edit” link in the list to open the paragraph.

The data is separated by line breaks and tabs. You can paste it into Excel, a text editor, and so on.

Document Validation

To improve the quality of a document, ManualWorks validates the following items. Click the <Start> button in “Document Validation” to run the validation and show a list of errors. To skip checking images and links included by external URL, turn on “Disable External Resource Check”.

Document validation items
Item	Description
Image	Checks whether the images in image paragraphs and inline images exist. An image included by external URL may appear not to exist because the web server rejects Java requests.
Document link	Validates internal document references.
Web link	An external URL link may appear not to exist because the web server rejects Java requests. "The URL has changed." means that the web server response code is neither 200 nor 404. In most cases, it is a 301 or 302 response.
File link	Checks whether linked files exist.
Email address link	Checks whether the format of linked email addresses is valid.
Unsupported strings	Checks for unsupported strings. If this error occurs, click the <Escape the unescaped contents.> button in the error list.
Referenced chapter	Checks whether the source of a referenced chapter has been deleted.
Include Other Elements	Checks Include Other Elements.
HTML structure check	Checks whether the HTML structure is correct. If this error occurs, open the paragraph in the editor and save it without changes.
Unnecessary white space	Checks for unnecessary white space. If this error occurs, open the paragraph in the editor and save it without changes.
Empty content	Checks whether the content of a paragraph that is not an image, table, or object paragraph is empty.
Config format	Checks whether the format of paragraph setting values is correct.

To validate unnecessary white space, enter the following command in the Console.

set-preference -name VALIDATE_WHITE_SPACE -value true

When ManualWorks validates external images and links, it sends the USER_AGENT setting value in the UserAgent HTTP header. The default value is as follows.
