| Animated marker symbol type allows you to use animated markers, which can be | ||
| GIFs, WebP, or MNG animations, to represent points on your map. You | ||
| can specify marker ``file``, ``size``, ``angle``, and ``frame rate``. |

| can specify marker ``file``, ``size``, ``angle``, and ``frame rate``. | |
| You can specify: | |
| * :guilabel:`File` path, | |
| * :guilabel:`Frame rate`: number of steps that are shown per second, | |
| indicating how fast the animation is played | |
| * :guilabel:`Size` in any :ref:`supported unit <supported_units>`, | |
| * :guilabel:`Opacity`, | |
| * :guilabel:`Rotation`, | |
| * :guilabel:`Offset` in :guilabel:`x` and :guilabel:`y` directions from the marker position | |
| * :guilabel:`Anchor point` |
The description in issue report is generally an indication and can't be simply taken as is without checking the current GUI (and sometimes playing with the feature). It happens that there are more details or things have changed in the meantime.

@DelazJ can you, please review this PR again? I added both animations, they can be helpful. I have also removed paragraph titles, so now everything is in one paragraph, but I'm still not sure is it clear enough for users. |

Another thing, I added screenshots for PDF,
There are many settings in play for this feature so I'm not really convinced that we can showcase it with an image. And since we can't play svg in a pdf, we keep them for the html build only (
but I can't create preview for PDF so I'm not sure is it ok...
The build has failed due to a wrong ref but when succeeded, if you follow the details link next to the build reports
and click [summary] in the top left of the page, you would get a way to download a build of the html and pdf outputs
You can also enable these builds in your fork, so that you checked this even before opening a PR

The whole block with caption should be indented, under the only... block. And use relative path to file. See my previous suggestion
