 * Hi!
    I would like to display the number of posts from a category without any 
   links or category title. Is there a way to achieve this?
 * Thanks!

 * You can display the total number of posts after a loop, like this:
 *     ```
       [loop type="post" category="special"]
       [/loop]
       Total posts: [loop-count]
       ```
