NameOccTypeDescriptionNotes
source-document [0..1]AnonymousA pointer back to the original XML document(s) used to create this formatting object tree, in accordance with the Dublin Core definition of "Source" ("A Reference to a resource from which the present resource is derived." See: http://purl.org/DC/documents/rec-dces-19990702.htm .) The value is not validated by and has no inherent standardized semantics for any XSL processor.from group fo:source-document
role [0..1]AnonymousA hint for alternate renderers (aural readers, etc.) as to the role of the XML element or elements that were used to construct this formatting object, if one could be identified during XSLT tree construction. This information can be used to prepare alternate renderings when the normal rendering of a formatting object is not appropriate or satisfactory; for example, the role information can be used to provide better aural renderings of visually formatted material. This property is not inherited, but all subsidiary nodes of this formatting object that do not bear a role property should utilize the same alternate presentation properties. (It is not inherited because knowledge of the start and end of the formatting object subtree generated by the element may be needed by the renderer.)from group fo:role
azimuth [0..1]AnonymousCSS2 Reference: from group fo:azimuth
cue-after [0..1]fo:cueSound to be played before the element to delimit it. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:cue-after
cue-before [0..1]fo:cueSound to be played after the element to delimit it. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:cue-before
cue [0..1]AnonymousA shorthand for setting 'cue-before' and 'cue-after'. If two values are given, the first value is 'cue-before' and the second is 'cue-after'. If only one value is given, it applies to both properties. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:cue
elevation [0..1]AnonymousCSS2 Reference: from group fo:elevation
pause-after [0..1]fo:pauseA pause to be observed before speaking an element's content. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:pause-after
pause-before [0..1]fo:pauseA pause to be observed after speaking an element's content. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:pause-before
pause [0..1]AnonymousA shorthand for setting 'pause-before' and 'pause-after'. If two values are given, the first value is 'pause-before' and the second is 'pause-after'. If only one value is given, it applies to both properties. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:pause
pitch [0..1]AnonymousThe average pitch (a frequency) of the speaking voice. The average pitch of a voice depends on the voice family. For example, the average pitch for a standard male voice is around 120Hz, but for a female voice, it's around 210Hz. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:pitch
pitch-range [0..1]fo:number-or-inheritVariation in average pitch. The perceived pitch of a human voice is determined by the fundamental frequency and typically has a value of 120Hz for a male voice and 210Hz for a female voice. Human languages are spoken with varying inflection and pitch; these variations convey additional meaning and emphasis. Thus, a highly animated voice, i.e., one that is heavily inflected, displays a high pitch range. This property specifies the range over which these variations occur, i.e., how much the fundamental frequency may deviate from the average pitch. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:pitch-range
play-during [0..1]AnonymousSimilar to the 'cue-before' and 'cue-after' properties, this property specifies a sound to be played as a background while an element's content is spoken. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:play-during
richness [0..1]fo:number-or-inheritThe richness, or brightness, of the speaking voice. A rich voice will "carry" in a large room, a smooth voice will not. (The term "smooth" refers to how the wave form looks when drawn.). A value between '0' and '100'. The higher the value, the more the voice will carry. A lower value will produce a soft, mellifluous voice. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:richness
speak [0..1]AnonymousWhether text will be rendered aurally and if so, in what manner. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:speak
speak-header [0..1]AnonymousWhether table headers are spoken before every cell, or only before a cell when that cell is associated with a different header than the previous cell. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:speak-header
speak-numeral [0..1]AnonymousHow numerals are spoken. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:speak-numeral
speak-punctuation [0..1]AnonymousHow punctuation is spoken. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:speak-punctuation
speech-rate [0..1]AnonymousThe speaking rate. Note that both absolute and relative keyword values are allowed (compare with 'font-size'). CSS2 Reference: from group fo:speech-rate
stress [0..1]fo:number-or-inheritThe height of "local peaks" in the intonation contour of a voice. For example, English is a stressed language, and different parts of a sentence are assigned primary, secondary, or tertiary stress. The value of 'stress' controls the amount of inflection that results from these stress markers. This property is a companion to the 'pitch-range' property and is provided to allow developers to exploit higher-end auditory displays. A value, between '0' and '100'. The meaning of values depends on the language being spoken. For example, a level of '50' for a standard, English-speaking male voice (average pitch = 122Hz), speaking with normal intonation and emphasis would have a different meaning than '50' for an Italian voice. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:stress
voice-family [0..1]AnonymousA comma-separated, prioritized list of voice family names. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:voice-family
volume [0..1]AnonymousThe median volume of the waveform. In other words, a highly inflected voice at a volume of 50 might peak well above that. The overall values are likely to be human adjustable for comfort, for example with a physical volume control (which would increase both the 0 and 100 values proportionately); what this property does is adjust the dynamic range. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:volume
background-attachment [0..1]AnonymousIf a background image is specified, this property specifies whether it is fixed with regard to the viewport ('fixed') or scrolls along with the containing block ('scroll'). CSS2 Reference: from group fo:background-attachment
background-color [0..1]fo:background-colorThe background color of an element, either a <color> value or the keyword transparent, to make the underlying colors shine through. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:background-color
background-image [0..1]fo:background-imageThe background image of an element. When setting a "background-image", authors should also specify a background-color that will be used when the image is unavailable. When the image is available, it is rendered on top of the background color. (Thus, the color is visible in the transparent parts of the image). CSS2 Reference: from group fo:background-image
background-repeat [0..1]fo:background-repeatIf a background image is specified, this property specifies whether the image is repeated (tiled), and how. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:background-repeat
background [0..1]AnonymousA shorthand property for setting the individual background properties (i.e., background-color, background-image, background-repeat, background-attachment and background-position) at the same place in the stylesheet. Value is [<background-color> || <background-image> || <background-repeat> || <background-attachment> || <background-position> ]] | inherit. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:background
background-position-horizontal [0..1]AnonymousIf a "background-image" has been specified, this property specifies its initial position horizontally.from group fo:background-position-horizontal
background-position-vertical [0..1]AnonymousIf a "background-image" has been specified, this property specifies its initial position vertically.from group fo:background-position-vertical
background-position [0..1]AnonymousIf a background image has been specified, this property specifies its initial position. If only one value is specified, the second value is assumed to be 'center'. If at least one value is not a keyword, then the first value represents the horizontal position and the second represents the vertical position. Negative <percentage> and <length> values are allowed. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:background-position

If there are three values, the top is set to the first value, the left and right are set to the second, and the bottom is set to the third. If there are four values, they apply to the top, right, bottom, and left, respectively. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:padding
font-family [0..1]AnonymousA prioritized list of font family names and/or generic family names. To deal with the problem that a single font may not contain glyphs to display all the characters in a document, or that not all fonts are available on all systems, this property allows authors to specify a list of fonts, all of the same style and size, that are tried in sequence to see if they contain a glyph for a certain character. This list is called a font set. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:font-family
font-selection-strategy [0..1]Anonymousfrom group fo:font-selection-strategy
font-size [0..1]fo:font-sizeThe size of the font when set solid. The font size corresponds to the em square, a concept used in typography. Note that certain glyphs may bleed outside their em squares. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:font-size
font-stretch [0..1]AnonymousSelects a normal, condensed, or extended face from a font family.from group fo:font-stretch
font-size-adjust [0..1]AnonymousAn aspect value for an element that will preserve the x-height of the first choice font in the substitute font.

font-style [0..1]fo:font-styleRequests normal (sometimes referred to as "roman" or "upright"), italic, and oblique faces within a font family. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:font-style
font-variant [0..1]fo:font-variantIn a small-caps font, the glyphs for lowercase letters look similar to the uppercase ones, but in a smaller size and with slightly different proportions. The "font-variant" property requests such a font for bicameral (having two cases, as with Roman script). This property has no visible effect for scripts that are unicameral (having only one case, as with most of the world's writing systems). CSS2 Reference: from group fo:font-variant
font-weight [0..1]fo:font-weightThe weight of the font. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:font-weight
font [0..1]AnonymousA shorthand property for setting "font-style", "font-variant", "font-weight", "font-size", "line-height", and "font-family", at the same place in the stylesheet. The syntax of this property is based on a traditional typographical shorthand notation to set multiple properties related to fonts. Value is [ [ <font-style> || <font-variant> || <font-weight> ]? <font-size> [ / <line-height>]? <font-family> ] | caption | icon | menu | message-box | small-caption | status-bar | inherit CSS2 Reference: from group fo:font

letter-spacing [0..1]AnonymousSpacing behavior between text characters. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:letter-spacing
line-height [0..1]AnonymousOn a block container element whose content is composed of inline-level elements, 'line-height' specifies the minimal height of line boxes within the element. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:line-height
score-spaces [0..1]AnonymousWhether the text-decoration property shall be applied to spaces.from group fo:score-spaces
text-decoration [0..1]AnonymousDecorations that are added to the text of an element. If the property is specified for a block-level element, it affects all inline-level descendants of the element. If it is specified for (or affects) an inline-level element, it affects all boxes generated by the element. If the element has no content or no text content (e.g., the IMG element in HTML), user agents must ignore this property. This property is not inherited, but descendant boxes of a block box should be formatted with the same decoration (e.g., they should all be underlined). The color of decorations should remain the same even if descendant elements have different "color" values. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:text-decoration
text-shadow [0..1]AnonymousA comma-separated list of shadow effects to be applied to the text of the element. The shadow effects are applied in the order specified and may thus overlay each other, but they will never overlay the text itself. Shadow effects do not alter the size of a box, but may extend beyond its boundaries. The stack level of the shadow effects is the same as for the element itself. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:text-shadow
text-transform [0..1]AnonymousCapitalization effects of an element's text. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:text-transform
word-spacing [0..1]AnonymousSpacing behavior between words. CSS2 Reference: from group fo:word-spacing
