ParametersEdit
| Parameter | Scope | Description |

| 1 | optional | The time to which the counter is counting down. Uses the time parser function, which is really flexible as far as what time formats it will accept. Required unless using the alternate input form. Insufficient information will be filled in with the user's "current" time. For example, Dec 25 will count down to Christmas 2024, enter the "over" state for the remainder of the year, then count down to Christmas 2025 at the beginning of 2025. |
