attributes in one statement. You may supply one or two values for
this attribute.
CSS Syntax
pause:time|percentage{1,2}
Value
This attribute accepts one or two values, depending on the values you
want to assign to the pause-before and
pause-after settings. A single value of the
pause attribute is applied to both
pause-before and pause-after.
When two values are supplied, the first is assigned to
pause-before; the second is assigned to
pause-after.
Values for time are floating-point numbers
followed by either the ms (milliseconds) or
s (seconds) unit identifier. These settings are
therefore absolute durations for pauses. Values for
percentage are inversely proportional to
the words-per-minute values of the speech-rate
attribute setting. Because the speech-rate
controls how long it takes for a single word (on average), a
pause setting of 100% means
that a pause has the same duration as a single word; a setting of
50% would be a pause of one-half the duration of
speaking a single word.
Initial Value
Depends on the browser.
