script

// The normal parameter to set in the widget is widget[[line|3..5]]

// Here are two factors to adjust.

// Tally—Adjust how much you want to increase their tally score. The higher the number, the more likely it will call everyone once before calling on them again. If this is set to 1, someone might get called 5-6 times while another person is never called at all. For my purposes , 5 is working well.

// howManyWords—Lets you toggle how many words the script will drop at the top of the list, hence how many will appear in your widget. Be sure to adjust the parameter you use in your widget accordingly. And whatever number you choose here, you need to leave that many empty lines +2 after the title.

// ** Pulls in the draft

let originalText = draft.content;

// Separates the title and the list of names
