This example uses the higher attribute as one of the three possible attributes (higher, lower, peers) associated with the priorityClass element. The higher attribute controls how elements with higher priority interrupt child elements of a priorityClass element.
In this example, Paragraph 2 is within a priorityClass element with the higher attribute set to "pause," a begin time of 0 seconds, and a duration of 10 seconds. The higher priority element, Paragraph 1, interrupts Paragraph 2 at 7 seconds. Paragraph 2 pauses and resumes its duration when the interrupting element completes its duration (5 seconds).
Paragraph 1 begins at 7 seconds with a duration of 5 seconds.
Paragraph 2 is displayed until it is interrupted by a higher priorityClass (at 7 seconds). Paragraph 2 pauses and is added to a queue of pending elements. When Paragraph 1 completes its active duration, Paragraph 2 resumes and completes its duration.
