This plugin might be used to establish an online-voting system. Votes are
collected in a separate file ... basically inspired by the
TWiki:Plugins/PollPlugin.

The %VOTE{ ... }% macro defines a poll using the following options:
| name | description | example |
|---|
| id | The identifier of a poll. This must be unique per topic. You can thus have multiple independent votes on the same topic page. | FaroritMeal |
| style | Possible values are a combination of bar, perc, total and sum to specify the display style of the poll results (default bar,perc,total). | bar |
| select<n> | As you can see in the above example multiple decisions can be made within the same poll. This identifier must be unique within a poll. You can have up to 5 selects per vote (sorry hardcoded;)) | Drinks |
| options<n> | Each select<n> corresponds to set of options that you must specify. | Beer,Wine,Milk |
select and
option might use the pseudo variables
$percnt,
$dollar,
$quote and
$doublequote to render the respective characters in the vote output otherwise not allowed
in an argument to a TWiki tag.
The %VOTE{ ... }% will generate the selection box(es) and the poll results.
The plugin will count only you latest vote. You might only vote once a day.
