Example: The following example demonstrates the TypographyMotion plugin helping developers to create stagger text animation. Different HTML elements like section, figure, circle, and SVG are used to develop the structure of the web page. Different classes from the plugin’s CSS file are used for visual effects of content, frame, paragraph, and cursor as shown in the below code. After moving the cursor on the About and Close “span” frames, the user can see the text stagger animation of the HTML paragraph. Refer to the output for a better understanding.
