= Index DOT Css by Brian Wilson =

What is it?: This property specifies a pause to be inserted before speaking an element's content. The pause is inserted between the element's content and any 'cue-before' or 'cue-after' content.

Allowed Values
inherit
[CSS2]: Type: Explicit; Description:
Explicitly sets the value of this property to that of the parent.
[time]
[CSS2]: Type: Explicit; Description:
Sets the pause length to a time measurement (see the time units for more details)
[percentage]
[CSS2]: Type: Calculated; Description:
Refers to the inverse of the value of the 'speech-rate' property. (eg: a value of 100% for 'pause-before' with a 'speech-rate' of 60 words per minute would create a pause of 1 second.)

Example: Ext/Doc: blockquote { pause-before: 1.5s }; In-Line: <blockquote STYLE="pause-before: 1.5s">text</blockquote>

Notes

Before its inclusion in CSS2, this property was first proposed in the W3C Working Draft "Aural Cascading Style Sheets (ACSS)" (1/7/97, http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Speech/NOTE-ACSS)
