Did a quick look on google.
Looks like it would be useful for doing progress towards something.
Code: Select all
[progress=PROGRESS/TOTAL]TEXT[/progress]
PROGRESS = Number you have
TOTAL = Number you want
TEXT = What you want the bar to say (for example, 8 of 50 Goal)
Like it would be useful for SimNaNo, especially if whomever was running it that year didn't have the time/skill to do the graphics.
Or for someone doing a challenge like the 100 Baby Challenge, they could display their baby count that way.
But beyond those two types of content, I don't think it's something we'd use that often here.
