v0.13.0

Fixed

• rev validate counts what the journal counts. A limit stated as "including tables/figure captions, statements and references list" was checked against body prose alone: the reference list does not exist in the sources, since citeproc renders it at build time, and figure captions were removed with their image. On a manuscript with 31 references and 5 figures that is 1,661 words the count never saw. The parts are now measured separately and the profile says which of them its limit covers, through wordLimit.includeReferences / includeFigureCaptions / includeTableCells / includeAbstract. The reference list is rendered with the project's own bibliography and CSL, through the same pandoc + citeproc pass the build uses, so a style that prints every author of a consortium paper is counted at what it actually prints. The stats table shows each part and whether it was counted.
• The abstract ended at its first z. \Z is not a JavaScript escape; written into the extraction pattern it matched a literal Z, and under /i a literal z, so an abstract was cut at its first one. A 356-word abstract was reported as 162 and passed a 350-word limit. A trailing Keywords: line is also dropped, since journals limit the two separately.
• The title was the first heading. A rev project carries its title in rev.yaml, so the first H1 in the sections is "Abstract" and the reported title length was 8 characters. validate reads the configured title.
• A table was counted as five rows. countTables divided the row total by an assumed rows-per-table, so the figure was a function of table length: 8 tables reported as 15. One table is now one run of consecutive rows.
• A cross-reference counted as a reference. @fig:one was recorded under the key fig, because the guard tested the captured key for a colon the pattern had already stopped at.
• sections: {required: [...]} no longer dies at validation time. The --new template suggested that shape, and it reached the validator as an object, which failed with "req.sections is not iterable". Both the list and the nested form are accepted; the template and the documented example now write the list.

Added

• keywords.max and dataAvailability in a profile are read: both were accepted, stored, and never checked.
• countTableCellWords and countFigureCaptionWords in lib/utils.ts, and renderBibliography in the new lib/bibliography.ts.

[0.12.3] - 2026-09-09

Fixed

• rev validate counts the prose between two tables. countWords stripped table content with /\|[^|]+\|/g, and [^|] matches a newline, so the pattern ran from the last pipe of one table to the first pipe of the next and deleted every paragraph standing between them. On an 8-table results section it dropped about 2,000 words of running text, and the reported count fell as prose was added between tables and rose as a table was removed. /\{[^}]+\}/g had the same shape and joined one figure's attribute block to the next. Both are now bounded: table rows are dropped line by line, so a table contributes nothing and nothing else is taken with it, and every pattern without a same-line closing delimiter is confined to one line.
• A citation no longer leaves its brackets behind as words. [@Ellenberg_1991; @Diekmann_2003] had its keys removed and the residue [; ] counted as two words. Bracketed citations are removed whole, and a token carrying no letter or digit is not counted.
• A cross-reference label with a hyphen is removed in full. @\w+ stopped at the hyphen of @fig:sample-efficiency, leaving -efficiency to be counted.
• Frontmatter is recognized only at the top of the document. The ^---[\s\S]*?--- pattern carried the m flag, so a horizontal rule mid-document could open a match and delete everything up to the next one. Horizontal rules are likewise matched as whole lines, not as any run of three dashes inside a word.
