Basic format
Animation strings are of the form:
<frame descriptor 1>-<frame descriptor 2>-...-<frame descriptor n>
Frame descriptors are a sequence of lowercase tags followed by an uppercase frame letter and an integer frame duration:
zzA1
For instance:
x-5A3-x-3B2-x-2C1-x-1D1
divides up as:
| Tags | Frame | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| x-5 | A | 3 |
| x-3 | B | 2 |
| x-2 | C | 1 |
| x-1 | D | 1 |
Tags
There are a lot of available tags. Not all of them are understood. Some of them take numeric parameters, which are indicated in angle brackets below. Such parameters must match the regular expression:
-?+\?[0-9]*
An omitted parameter is treated as 0.
Here's a complete list of all tags up to t. There are some other tags previously known at the end as well. Descriptions in italics may be unreliable.
