 * For translaters and writers it is common to do their work by characters counted.
   
   This plugin helps to do this but problem is that the layout code like from Visual
   Composer [vc_row] etc… is also count as characters. It would be nice to also 
   have a true ‘text’ character count, may a second count without the characters
   whitin the brackets [] is a solution?
