Details
Calculates the Spache Formula. In contrast to readability
,
which by default calculates all possible indices,
this function will only calculate the index value.
By default the revised Spache formula is calculated. If parameters="old"
,
the original
parameters are used.
This formula doesn't need syllable count.
