  <title>Text Attributes Preferences</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. <app>Orca</app>'s <gui>Text Attributes</gui> page allows you
    to customize which text attributes <app>Orca</app> will present in speech,
    along with the order in which they should be presented, and which ones
    <app>Orca</app> will indicate in braille.
  </p>
  <section id="table">
    <title>The text attributes table</title>
    <p>
      The text attributes table is where you specify what attributes will
      and will not be presented and under what conditions. Each row consists
      of four columns.
    </p>
    <list>
      <item>
        <p>
          <gui>Attribute Name</gui>: The name of the text attribute.
        </p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>
          <gui>Speak</gui>: Check this checkbox if you would like
          <app>Orca</app> to speak this attribute when you press
          <keyseq><key>Orca Modifier</key><key>F</key></keyseq>.
        </p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>
          <gui>Mark in braille</gui>: Check this checkbox if you would
          like <app>Orca</app> to "underline" this attribute on your
          braille display.
        </p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>
          <gui>Present Unless</gui>: This editable field allows you to
          specify when an enabled attribute is not of interest.
        </p>
        <p>
          For example, by default the "underline" text attribute has a
          value of "none". This causes <app>Orca</app> to inform you
          about underlined text as long as the text is actually underlined.
          If you always want this attribute to be spoken irrespective of
          whether or not the text is underlined, the <gui>Present unless</gui>
          column should be empty for underline. In addition, you should be sure
          that the <gui>Speak</gui> column for underline is checked.
        </p>
      </item>
    </list>
  </section>
  <section id="reset">
     <title>Undoing changes</title>
     <p>
       Beneath the list of text attributes, there is a <gui>Reset</gui> button
       (<keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>R</key></keyseq>) which will restore
       the values of the table to what they were when the dialog was
       first displayed.
    </p>
  </section>
  <section id="rearranging">
     <title>Rearranging the order of presentation</title>
     <p>
        When you initially display the <gui>Text Attributes</gui> page, all of your enabled
        attributes are placed at the top of the table in the order in which they
        will be spoken. There are four buttons which can be used to rearrange
        the order of presentation.
    </p>
    <list>
      <item>
        <p>
          <gui>Move to top</gui> (<keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>T</key></keyseq>):
          moves the selected attribute to the top of the list.
        </p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>
          <gui>Move up</gui> (<keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>U</key></keyseq>):
          moves the selected attribute up one row.
        </p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>
          <gui>Move down</gui> (<keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>D</key></keyseq>):
          moves the selected attribute down one row.
        </p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>
          <gui>Move to bottom</gui> (<keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>B</key></keyseq>):

    <title>Options for Configuring Braille "Underlining" for Formatting</title>

        Beneath the push buttons is the <gui>Braille Indicator</gui> group
        of radio buttons. Here you can select the cell or cells to be used
        to indicate text which has at least one of the specified attributes.
