The class-tools Extension

The class-tools extension allows you to specify CSS classes that will be swapped onto or off of the elements by using a classes or data-classes attribute. This functionality allows you to apply CSS Transitions to your HTML without resorting to javascript.

A classes attribute value consists of “runs”, which are separated by an & character. All class operations within a given run will be applied sequentially, with the delay specified.

Within a run, a , character separates distinct class operations.

A class operation is an operation name add, remove, or toggle, followed by a CSS class name, optionally followed by a colon : and a time delay.
