    Notes: Introduce alternate pacing timer, based on total presentation time · 078ba620
    Florian Haas a écrit
    The current pacing timer operates on the assumption that there is
    a default amount of time to be allocated to each slide, and that
    individual slides can deviate from that default by specifying their
    own data-timing attribute.
    
    This patch introduces an alternate pacing method: by specifying
    the totalTime configuration option, the presenter can set the total
    time available to present. The pacing timer will then continue to
    allocate the exact pacing time for slides that do have data-timing
    set, as before. However, rather than applying the defaultTiming
    constant to all others, it will
    
    - Add up the time already allocated to slides via data-timing;
    - subtract that from totalTime;
    - divide the difference by the number of slides without data-timing set;
    - apply the thus-calculated average to those slides.
    
    totalTime has no default, and if both defaultTiming and totalTime are
    set, totalTime wins. This preserves backward compatibility: if a
    presenter has set defaultTiming and updates reveal.js, totalTime will
    be null and defaultTiming is still applied to all slides without a
    data-timing attribute. The presenter can then switch to the automatic
    calculation, if desired, by setting a value for totalTime.
