Feature Request: Option to exclude LaTeX commands, e.g. \cite{text}

[ReaderGuy42]

I use LaTeX commands in my Obsidian notes because that's how I convert to PDF, including stuff like \cite{abc}, \footcite{abc}`, etc.

Could you perhaps add an option to exlude these from the word count? This could be fairly simple to just exclude everything between a backslash \ and a close curly bracket }.

I don't know if regular expressions are at all useful for this, but for the Dynamic Highlights plugin, I use this capture group to highlight all my regex commands:

\\[^{}]+?\{\\[^{}]+?\{([^{}])+?\}|[^{}])+?\})

This also checks if there are nested curly brackets, e.g. \footnote{\cite{abc}, \cite{def}}

Much appreciated!
Thanks :)
