Besides shortcodes and HTML comments, is there any other way I can use ProgPress to generate meters?

Sure. You can call the jcp_progpress_generate_meter function directly. The arguments to the function are: title, goal, current, previous, label, separator, class, and prefix (in that order).

Since ProgPress pre-dates shortcodes being added to WordPress it originally used an older syntax based on HTML comments. This syntax is still supported (although newer features like label have not been back-ported). It can be enabled on the ProgPress settings page. You add a progress meter by including the following in a post or in a text widget:  Only these five options are supported, only the first three are required.

Sure. You can call the jcp_progpress_generate_meter function directly. <?php if (function_exists('jcp_progpress_generate_meter')){ echo jcp_progpress_generate_meter("title", 100, 50, 25, "label"); }?> The arguments to the function are: title, goal, current, previous, label, separator, class, and prefix (in that order).

Inline styles (based on the default styles) are used to ensure the meters render in RSS readers.
