The possible values for this attribute are defined by the XML Schema unsignedInt datatype.

rev (Reverse)

This attribute is only supported in paragraph type builds. This specifies the direction of the build relative to the order of the elements in the container. When this is set to "true", the animations for the paragraphs will be persisted in reverse order to the order of the paragraphs themselves such that the last paragraph animates first. Default value is "false".

 

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the XML Schema boolean datatype.
