Quarto ::: block breaks word count total

[sandtar]

Thank you, I think I've got this covered now with 2019a3f

Hello, it looks like the word count in quarto documents with ::: blocks only includes words which appear before the first occurrence of ::: in the document.

Reproducible example

The text below is plain text in my .qmd file and the code chunks are code chunks:

---

library(wordcountaddin)

Word count: r wordcountaddin::word_count("my-file.qmd")

Here is some text which adds up to 10 words.

::: {#fig-1}

plot(iris$Sepal.Length)

:::

Here is more text which adds up to 10 words.

Here is more text which adds up to 10 words.

---

Expected behaviour

The word count should total 32 in this file, but when I render the document to html I get 12. Same if I execute wordcountaddin:::text_stats() with the file open (12 is the koRpus word count). If I move the ::: block in between the next two lines, the output becomes 22. It seems as if all words following the first ::: are ignored
