Number ticker
Updated 18 hours ago to v2.1.0 by Flourish team
How to use this template
This template allows you to easily create a number ticker counting up and also optionally add text to it.
How to get started
The first step is to decide if you need only a number ticker or a custom one featuring text. For the former, head over to Numbers options in the editor, opt for Simple and set the beginning and end of the ticker through the Tick from and Tick to settings.
If the latter is what you need, choose Custom and input the text you want to feature along with your numbers in the Text and {{numbers}} box. Put numbers to tick to and from in double braces, e.g. {{1000}} to tick from 0 to 1000, or {{-5000/4000}} to tick from -5000 to 4000. You are also able to use markdown styling such as bold and italic. You can also include custom HTML to add styling and formatting – for example to color some words differently.
Animation settings
To customize the animation duration, i.e. how fast the ticker will be ticking, head over to Animation and set a Duration of your choosing.
