Name Templates

the name option for progressbar supports the following templates:

• max
• value
• percentage

it can be used in format {max}, the plugin will replace it to the real value automatically.

for example, currently is {value}, it's {percentage} to {max} will produce: currently is 123, it's 34% to 365.

the no supported template will no be changed, for example, I am {unknown}, will still stay as I am {unknown}.

If no name specified, name will be kind({percentage}) by default.

Using id and button together

The button option is supposed to be used with the id options where the id option can be used anywhere but will have no practical use without the buttons, It will be the same as not having and id.

id can be used to have multiple progressbar throughout the same document to represent the same quantity. Two progressbar having the same id will be updated together whenever one is updated using the button.

The progressbars will not be synced automatically without the button's click. The auto syncing between progressbars with same id can be implemented in future releases.

If the written value by the user differ between different progressbar with the same id, then the value of the progressbar from which the buttons are clicked will be updated in all of the applicable.

example: These will have the same id, synced together on button clicks, but notice that we can have different names(along with the usage of templates).

    ```progressbar
    id: test <-- an id assigned as "test"
    kind: manual
    name: "manual with buttons 1 {max}" <-- Notice the name
    button: true
    value: 5
    max: 10
    ```


    ```progressbar
    id: test <-- The same id used in a different place
    kind: manual
    
    # Notice that progressbar with same id can still be used with different names
    name: manual with buttons 2 <-- Notice the name here

    button: true
    value: 5
    max: 10
    ```

will generate:
