<title>Text Attributes</title>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The term "text attributes" refers to all of the font, style, alignment,
|
||
|
|
and other formatting associated with a given character or series of
|
||
|
|
characters.

<p>
|
||
|
|
When you press <keyseq><key>Cthulhu Modifier</key><key>F</key>
|
||
|
|
</keyseq>, <app>Cthulhu</app> will speak known text attribute
|
||
|
|
information about an object. In addition, <app>Cthulhu</app>
|
||
|
|
will optionally indicate text attributes in braille by
|
||
|
|
"underlining" them as you navigate a document.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Because the number of text attributes is large, and not everyone cares
|
||
|
|
about every attribute, the <link xref="preferences_text_attributes">
|
||
|
|
Text Attributes page of the preferences dialog</link> allows you to
|
||
|
|
customize which text attributes <app>Cthulhu</app> will present in speech,
|
||
|
|
along with the order in which they should be presented, and which ones
|
||
|
|
<app>Cthulhu</app> will indicate in braille.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Because the <link xref="preferences_text_attributes">Text Attributes
|
||
|
|
page</link> is also part of the application-specific settings, you can
|
||
|
|
customize text attribute presentation on an as-needed basis for each
|
||
|
|
application you use.

<title>Identifying Misspelled Words</title>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Most applications and toolkits indicate that a word is misspelled by
|
||
|
|
underlining that word with a red, squiggly line. The presence of this line
|
||
|
|
is typically exposed to assistive technologies as a text attribute. As a
|
||
|
|
result, you will find spelling errors amongst the text attributes you can
|
||
|
|
choose. By default, the spelling error attribute is enabled for both
|
||
|
|
speech and braille and will therefore be presented along with any other
|
||
|
|
attributes whose indication you have enabled.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
In addition to accessing the presence of spelling errors as a text
|
||
|
|
attribute, if you have key echo and/or word echo enabled and type a
|
||
|
|
word which is misspelled, when the spelling error indication appears,
|
||
|
|
<app>Cthulhu</app> will announce "misspelled" so that you can immediately go
|
||
|
|
back and correct the error.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Finally, when you are navigating within a document and the caret moves
|
||
|
|
into a word which is misspelled, <app>Cthulhu</app> will announce the
|
||
|
|
presence of the spelling error.
