Similar to my <<replace>> macro, this code causes the passage text in between the <<timedreplace>> and <<replacewith>> tags to be replaced with what is between those and the <<endtimedreplace>> tag, after a certain number of halves of seconds have elapsed.

Copy the code in here: http://www.glorioustrainwrecks.com/files/TwineMacro-TimedReplace.txt

By default the text instantly changes with no transition. You can add a fade-in transition with this CSS:

.replacement-in {
	opacity: 0;
}
.timedreplacement {
	transition: 1s;
	-webkit-transition: 1s;
}
.replacement-out {
	display:none;
}

Special feature: the <<replacewith>> tag can be omitted! If that is the case, then everything between <<timedreplace>> and <<endtimedreplace>> tags appears when the time elapses.

Mod: if you don't want the replaced passage to fade in, simply delete the line beginning with "fade" near the end (but only that line).

Usage examples:
*<<timedreplace 4 >>You see nothing. <<replacewith>>After 2 seconds, you still see nothing.<<endtimedreplace>>
*You search. <<timedreplace 2>>You find nothing.<<endtimedreplace>>.

Example program.

Implementation details:

* Note: due to the way the browser and Twine interact, any changes made by code inside a <<timedreplace>> tag will be forgotten if you use the Back or Forward browser buttons. This means that if you put long-term variable changes that affect future passages inside one, you should disable the Back button.
* The passages are two <span>s, one visible, one hidden, each with the "timedreplacement" class. The one that is removed also has the class "timedreplacement1" and the passage that is added has the class "timedreplacement2".
