gongtimer

Using the gongtimer quarto extension to create an elapsed time bar

Andrie de Vries

This adds a time bar

• The time bar is at the bottom of your screen.

• This time progress bar gives a visual indication of the elapsed and remaining time.

• The default value is set to 5 minutes, for typical lightning talks, but you can change this in the quarto yaml header.

Changing the options

To change default options, modify the yaml header:

format: 
  revealjs:
    gongtimer:
      - allottedTime: 1 # time in minutes
revealjs-plugins: 
  - gongtimer

Changing the options

You can change these settings:

Option	Description
allottedTime	Time in minutes for the presentation (default is 5 minutes)
progressBarHeight	Height (in pixels) of the page / time progress bar
barColor	Bar color, expressed as hex #00ff00 or rgb(0, 255, 0)

Why is it called gongtimer?

Because of a long tradition at RStudio / Posit where lightning talks are timed out by Hadley beating on a gong.
