**(transition: // [[harlowe:String|String]]//) -> //[[harlowe:Changer|Changer]]//**

Also known as: [[harlowe:t8n|(t8n:)]]

A [[harlowe:command|command]] that applies a built-in CSS transition to a hook as it appears.

=== Example usage: ===

''%%(t8n: "pulse")[Gleep!]%%'' makes the hook ''%%[Gleep!]%%'' use the "pulse" transition when it appears.

=== Details: ===

At present, the following text [[harlowe:string|strings]] will produce a particular transition: * "instant" (causes the hook to instantly appear) * "dissolve" (causes the hook to gently fade in) * "flicker" (causes the hook to roughly flicker in - don't use with a long [[harlowe:transition-time|(transition-time:)]]) * "shudder" (causes the hook to instantly appear while shaking back and forth) * "rumble" (causes the hook to instantly appear while shaking up and down) * "slide-right" (causes the hook to slide in from the right) * "slide-left" (causes the hook to slide in from the left) * "pulse" (causes the hook to instantly appear while pulsating rapidly)

All transitions are 0.8 seconds long, unless a [[harlowe:transition-time|(transition-time:)]] command is added to the command.

You can't combine transitions by adding them together, like you can with [[harlowe:text-style|(text-style:)]] - ''%%(t8n:"dissolve")+(t8n:"shudder")%%'' won't make a transition that simultaneously dissolve-fades and shudders.
