Note: I was trying with `<span>` tags too, but that tag is inline, so I can't
set `width` property for it.
+> In the poll plugin, I ended up using a `<hr>` for the progress-like
+> thing. One reason I did so is because it actually works in text-mode
+> browsers (w3m, lynx), that do not support css or colorized
+> divs. Since the hr is an element they display, just setting its width can
+> make a basic progress-type display. The style then makes it display
+> better in more capable browsers.
+>
+> The other advantage to that approach is that the htmlscrubber lets
+> through the `class` and `width` fields, that are all that are needed for
+> it to work. No need to work around htmlscrubber.
+>
+> So I suggest adapting this to use similar html. --[[Joey]]

+>> I just had a brief play with this. It seems there are some trade-offs involved.

Default CSS styles for the plugin can be like below:
div.progress {
Any comments? --[[Paweł|ptecza]]
+> Please make sure to always set a foreground color if a background color is
+> set, and use '!important' so the foreground color can be overridden. (CSS

+
+>> Below is the CSS I've been using -- [[Will]]
+
+ div.progress {
+ margin-top: 1ex;
+ margin-bottom: 1ex;
+ border: 1px solid #888;
+ width: 400px;
+ background: #eee;
+ color: black !important;
+ padding: 1px;
+ }
+ div.progress-done {
+ background: #ea6 !important;
+ color: black !important;
+ text-align: center;
+ padding: 1px;
+ }

+-----
+
+[[!template id=plugin name=progress author="[[Will]]"]]
+[[!tag type/meta]]
+
+Provides a \\[[!progress ]] [[ikiwiki/Directive]] that is
+replaced with a progress bar.
+
+There are two possible parameter sets. The first is a single parameter
+`percent` which holds a percentage figure for how complete the progress bar is.
+
+The second possible set of parameters is a pair of [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]]s,
+`totalpages` and `donepages`. The progress plugin counts the number of
+pages in each pagespec and shows the percentage of the total pages that are
+done.
+
+This plugin is included in ikiwiki, but is not enabled by default.
+
+If it is turned on it can show what percentage of pages have discussion pages:
+
+ \[[!progress totalpages="* and !*/Discussion" donepages="*/Discussion"]]
