`timer` tag

Evaluates code repeatedly with a time delay between each repetition.

Sample usage

Fields

Default field

Holds a count of the current timer iteration number. This value is incremented each time a timer cycle completes.

Named fields

limit field: the number of timer cycles (iterations) to run
onTimer field: the action to be performed in each timer cycle
period field: the time period between timer cycles

Result

The timer tag creates a timer object in the document tree that can be used multiple times as necessary. After all timer cycles are exhausted, the period field is reset to zero. The default field is also reset to zero after handling the final onTimer event, and the timer stops.
