#Attributes

inImplicit
When the wash is drawn across the words: a step (1), a time on the scene's clock (1.5s) or a step with an offset (1 + 500ms). !cue.h:2{the gradient} marks the words from step 2.
cue-anchor
Can be written as shorthand: !cue.highlight:value
Default0

#Examples

The !cue.h:1{gradient} is the rise over the run.
- !cue.h{!teal{f(x)}}(in: 2; out: 3) climbs
- !cue.h:3{!orange{g(x)}} falls
# Where !cue.highlight{the curves meet}(in: 2 + 500ms; duration: 1s; colour: blue)

#Notes

  • It marks words in a paragraph, heading or list in a scene's detail. In a table cell, an image caption or a mark's label the words are shown unmarked.
  • Presence is untouched: the words are there before and after.
  • Plain words take the wash's text colour while marked; words coloured with a colour micronode keep theirs.
  • Written in a scene's body it is refused: '!cue.highlight' is not allowed in the narrative; colour, highlighting and symbols belong in the canvas.
