Ruby-Position, Size, and Other Style Sheet Properties - Size
(Page 2 of 4 )
size
IE n/a NN n/a Moz n/a Saf n/a Op all CSS 2
Inherited: n/a
Sets the size and/or orientation of a page box. Intended primarily for printed page formatting, the settings may not affect how content is cropped or oriented on the video screen. This property is set within an @page declaration.
CSS Syntax
size: [length {1,2}] auto | portrait | landscape
Value
If you specify one or two length values, the page box becomes absolute regardless of the paper sheet size; without specific length values, the page box is sized relative to the selected paper sheet size. If you supply only one length value, it is applied to both the width and height of the page box; if there are two values, the first controls the page box width and the second controls the page box height. Bear in mind that printers frequently impose a minimum margin around the rendered page box. Even when the size property is set to auto, you can add more breathing space around the page box by adding a margin property to the @page declaration.
Initial Value auto
Example @page{size: landscape}
Applies To Page context.
speak
IE n/a NN n/a Moz n/a Saf n/a Op n/a CSS 2
Inherited: Yes
For aural style sheets, this specifies whether a browser equipped for text-to-speech should speak the element’s content, and if so, whether the speech should be as words or spelled out character-by-character.
CSS Syntax
speak: speechType
Value
Three possible constant values: none | normal | spell-out. A value of none means that speech is turned off. The browser does not delay over the duration of the speech and any specified pauses (see the volume: silent property value). A value of normal turns on speech and reads the text as words. A value of spell-out turns on speech and reads the content letter-by-letter (certainly applicable to abbr and acronym elements).
Initial Value normal
Applies To All elements.
speak-header
IE n/a NN n/a Moz n/a Saf n/a Op n/a CSS 2
Inherited: Yes
For text-to-speech-capable browsers, this specifies whether the browser calls out the name of a table cell’s header prior to the cell’s value every time that value is read aloud or just one time for all adjacently read cells that share the same header (e.g., navigating downward through a table column).
CSS Syntax
speak-header: headerFrequency
Value Two possible constant values: once | always.
Initial Value onc e
Applies To th elements .
speak-numeral
IE n/a NN n/a Moz n/a Saf n/a Op n/a CSS 2
Inherited: Yes
For aural style sheets, this sets whether numbers are to be read as individual numerals (“one four two”) or as full numbers (e.g., “One hundred forty-two”). The language used for the spoken numbers is set with the element’s lang property.
CSS Syntax
speak-numeral: numeralType
Value Two possible constant values: digits | continuous.
Initial Value continuous
Applies To All elements.
speak-punctuation
IE n/a NN n/a Moz n/a Saf n/a Op n/a CSS 2
Inherited: Yes
For aural style sheets, this sets whether punctuation symbols should be read aloud (“period”) or interpreted as the language’s natural pauses for the various symbols.
CSS Syntax
speak-punctuation: punctuationType
Value
Two possible constant values: code | none. A value of code means that a symbol name is spoken when the symbol is encountered in element text.
Initial Value none
Applies To All elements.
