Options

• Style sheets
  A list of CSS style sheets to take into account.

  A list of CSS style sheets to take into account.

  Must be a space separated list of URIs, absolute or relative to the input.

  Style sheets specified through this option are called “user style sheets”. Style sheets can also be attached to the source document. These are referred to as “author style sheets”. They can be linked (using an ‘xml-stylesheet’ processing instruction or a ‘link’ element), embedded (using a ‘style’ element) and/or inlined (using ‘style’ attributes). Only author styles that apply to “speech” media are taken into account.

  All style sheets are applied at once, but the order in which they are specified has an influence on the cascading order. Author styles take precedence over user styles.

  Possible values: <anyURI>
  Default value:
• Lexicons
  A list of PLS lexicons to take into account.

  A list of PLS lexicons to take into account.

  Must be a space separated list of URIs, absolute or relative to the input.

  Lexicons can also be attached to the source document, using a ‘link’ element.

  PLS lexicons allow you to define custom pronunciations of words. It is meant to help TTS processors deal with ambiguous abbreviations and pronunciation of proper names. When a word is defined in a lexicon, the processor will use the provided pronunciation instead of the default rendering.

  The syntax of a PLS lexicon is defined in Pronunciation Lexicon Specification (PLS) Version 1.0, extended with regular expression matching. To enable regular expression matching,

  Possible values: <anyURI>
  Default value: p:system-property('d:org.daisy.pipeline.tts.default-lexicon')
• Style sheet parameters
  A list of parameters passed to the style sheets.

  A list of parameters passed to the style sheets.

  Style sheets, whether they’re user style sheets (specified with the “Style sheets” option) or author style sheets (associated with the source), may have parameters (Sass variables). This option, which takes a comma-separated list of key-value pairs enclosed in parenthesis, can be used to set these variables.

  For example, if a style sheet uses the Sass variable “foo”:

  @if $foo {
     /* some style that should only be enabled when "foo" is truthy */
  }
  

  you can control that variable with the following parameters list: (foo:true).

  Possible values: <stylesheet-parameters>
  Default value: ()
