     data-percent="60" 
     data-label="Percent" 
     >
</div>

3. Apply custom CSS styles to the gauge meter.

.GaugeMeter {
  position: Relative;
  text-align: Center;
  overflow: Hidden;
  cursor: Default;
  display: inline-block;
}

.GaugeMeter SPAN, .GaugeMeter B {
  width: 54%;
  position: Absolute;
  text-align: Center;
  display: Inline-Block;
  color: RGBa(0,0,0,.8);
  font-weight: 100;
  font-family: "Open Sans", Arial;
  overflow: Hidden;
  white-space: NoWrap;
  text-overflow: Ellipsis;
  margin: 0 23%;
}

.GaugeMeter[data-style="Semi"] B {
  width: 80%;
  margin: 0 10%;
}

.GaugeMeter S, .GaugeMeter U {
  text-decoration: None;
  font-size: .60em;
  font-weight: 200;
  opacity: .6;
}

.GaugeMeter B {
