<typing-effect> element

Accessibility

This component detects whether prefers-reduced-motion is set on the window:

window.matchMedia('(prefers-reduced-motion)').matches === true

If this evaluates to true, any content lines provided will be appended immediately rather than being typed out with a delay.
