marquee

Is there any way to embed an marquee animation in a Canvas LMS page?

My initial thought would be ... no.  I then did a quick Google search to try and find HTML marquee code, and I came across this page:

: The Marquee element - HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDN (mozilla.org)

As you can see, this code has been depreciated and is no longer recommended.  I even tried pasting in the following code (which is also displayed as an example on that page) to a content page in my own sandbox course:

<marquee>This text will scroll from right to left</marquee>

<marquee direction="up">This text will scroll from bottom to top</marquee>

<marquee
  direction="down"
  width="250"
  height="200"
  behavior="alternate"
  style="border:solid">
  <marquee behavior="alternate"> This text will bounce </marquee>
</marquee>

Once I saved the page, the result was not anything that looked like marquee text.  Instead, all I saw was a single line of text that read:

"This text will scroll from right to left This text will scroll from bottom to top This text will bounce"

When I went back to edit the code, Canvas had stripped out almost everything, and the code looked like this:

<p>This text will scroll from right to left This text will scroll from bottom to top This text will bounce</p>

Sorry I don't have better news for you, but I hope this information will be helpful to you.
