Word cloud

Builds a word cloud from the text of the page it is placed on, sizing each word by how often it appears.

A quick visual summary of what a page is actually about - useful at the top of a long retrospective, a survey write-up or a set of meeting notes. It reads the page's own text (the live draft while you are editing, the published version otherwise), strips common English stopwords, counts what remains case-insensitively and lays the words out at sizes proportional to their frequency. There is nothing to type: the only settings are how often a word must appear to earn a place and the smallest and largest sizes to draw at.

The macro is reached from the editor slash menu, which also offers the separate word count macro.

Every example below is a real macro on this page, not a screenshot, and each one is a configuration taken from a page somebody actually built. Open this page in the editor to see how any of them is set up.

#Words

Word clouds are not available on published sites. The cloud is laid out in the browser by a renderer that published sites do not ship.

#Settings

Setting	Values	What it changes
Display	words (the only value)	Nothing - see caveats.
Minimum Occurences	A number	A word must appear at least this many times in the page to be included. Raising it thins the cloud to the dominant themes; at 1 every non-stopword appears.
Minimum Font Size	A number of pixels	Size drawn for the least frequent included word.
Maximum Font Size	A number of pixels	Size drawn for the most frequent word; everything else is scaled between the two.
