cue.write

Content written in on the timeline, in reading order, at speed: characters per second: the window’s length is the content’s length over the speed. Prose is written line by line by a pen with a soft edge, its fresh ink in the accent colour until it dries; a display equation is set down mark by mark in the order a hand writes it. In a code environment it wraps lines chunks and types them character by character, with a caret mark riding the line being typed and a wash on that line while the window is open. out: runs the same clock backwards, taking the content away from the end.
