Adds special voice and announcements for quotations marked up with Q and BLOCKQUOTE (11.80 KB, patch)

Description Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis 2007-02-08 15:16:49 UTC 
Q and BLOCKQUOTE are (X)HTML elements for distinguishing quotations.

On the Windows platform, Window-Eyes can announce Q and BLOCKQUOTE. JAWS can read BLOCKQUOTE in a different voice. Orca should be able to do either. Perhaps, like JAWS, it should also be able to read quotations demarcated with quotation punctuation only in a different voice.

Does not attempt to infer quotations from quotation punctuation.

Hi Benjamin. Thanks for doing this!  We will look it over for
inclusion in Orca for GNOME 2.19/20 as we are already past the
UI freeze (and the string freeze) for the GNOME 2.17/18 release.

I'm a little torn about this.  On one hand, we have a specific fix for a specific role (thanks Benjamin!).  On the other hand, we will have more roles that other people may want specific voices for, so we probably should come up with a more general solution.  We've opened bug 412656 to track the idea of the more general solution.

Benjamin, would you be willing to wait for the more general solution, or would you like this patch to make it in to Orca as soon as possible?  The main impact this patch would have is that it would just be more code for us to rip out when we get the more general solution in place.

I'm going to close this one as WONTFIX because we hope to solve it with bug 412656.  For informational purposes, however, I'm making sure this bug is on bug 412656's RADAR screen.
