pause-after, pause-before | NN n/a IE n/a CSS 2 |

For aural style sheets, sets the duration of a pause after or before the current element. You can assign both attributes to the same element to designate pauses before and after the element is spoken. | |
CSS Syntax pause-after: time | percentage pause-before: time | percentage | |
Value 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. | |
