Syntax

Formal syntax: <single-animation-name> || <time> || <timing-function> || <time> || <single-animation-iteration-count> || <single-animation-direction> || <single-animation-fill-mode>

The order is important within each animation definition: the first value that can be parsed as a <time> is assigned to the animation-duration, and the second one is assigned to animation-delay.
