 * Hey there. Great plugin!
 * A couple of things I noticed: the document count when you hover over an article
   doesn’t count itself, while the category count does count it. I understand why
   this happens, but it doesn’t seem ideal to do it that way. I think the top most
   document should count itself, so even if you have no documents underneath it,
   it should show 1 article instead of 0 when hovering over it. Either that, or 
   the category itself should should the # of articles rather than the document.
 * The other thing I noticed was that documents on the third level (Top Document-
   > Subdocument -> Sub-Subdocument) doesn’t get displayed on the archive page. 
   This also throws off the number a bit, since it gets counted but isn’t displayed
   in the list. It would be nice to have a setting to display documents deeper, 
   and display them as nested `<li>`s.
 * Thanks for your time. Hopefully you take these into consideration. They’re small
   things but important in my opinion.

 * Hey.
 * Counting the parent article will not make sense, as this counts how many childs
   inside:
 * [[
 * And this counts all the childs:
 * [[
 * Child articles in the archive are also displaying correctly, since there is a
   setting:
 * [[
 * We don’t have plans to add such changes to the plugin in the near future.
 * Regards, nK.
