Meta tags
Overview
With meta tags you can specify attributes for any node in the tree file. For example. You can implement back function in a branch, When you select back node then it will move up from Its current position in the hierarchy. In the example below when "Go Back" has selected it will move to "Animals".
Meta tag is a regular html tag, And here is how we add attributes to a node. <meta data-name="value" [...]>
. All attributes should start with prefix data-
, Following with attribute name. Note that tag can contain more than one attribute.
In example above back-n-branch
specifies a behaviour for when It's selected.
auditory-cue
auditory-cue
type: string
Auditory cue specifies what should get uttered when user scrolls over nodes, AKA move to next or previous.
auditory-main
auditory-main
type: string
Auditory main specifies what should get uttered when user selects a node.
It's not applicable to spelling branch
back-n-branch
back-n-branch
type: integer (greater than zero)
To move up n
levels in the tree hierarchy when the node has select.
back-n-branch-notify
back-n-branch-notify
type: boolean
Back n branch attribute performs back functionality. And it does not utter (with main voice) the node itself. As selecting a node does that. When you include back-n-branch-notify
it notifies the user by uttering with main voice.
audio
audio
type: path
The audio to play instead of utterance with speech synthesizer. It applies to cue and main voice.
cue-audio
cue-audio
type: path
The audio to play when user scrolls through nodes. cue-audio
overrides audio
attribute when you specify both.
main-audio
main-audio
type: path
The audio to play when user selects a node. main-audio
overrides audio
attribute when you specify both.
locale
locale
type: string
Specify locale for a node. At the moment this attribute has only effect on speech synthesizer voice selection. At config you can specify what voice to use for every locale, When you apply locale to a node it will change the voice accordingly.
Here are possible values you can set as locale.
"en-GB"
English (UK)"de"
German"fr-FR"
French"es-ES"
Spanish"ar"
Arabic"gu"
Gujarati"cy"
Welsh
You may also use only language part of locale. For example instead of "en-GB"
if you use en
. pasco will match it to first locale it finds with same language.
cue-locale
cue-locale
type: string
Same as locale
, This attribute is designed to override locale
for cue voice. cue-locale
precedes locale
when both are set in a node.
main-locale
main-locale
type: string
Same as locale
, This attribute is designed to override locale
for main voice. main-locale
precedes locale
when both are set in a node.
spell-branch
spell-branch
type: boolean
pasco enables spelling with this attribute. You have to assign it to top level node that contains spelling branch. Here's an examples.
You may also set the attribute to root node like this.
spell-delchar
spell-delchar
type: boolean
When user selects a node with this attribute. It removes a letter from existing spelling session.
spell-finish
spell-finish
type: boolean
You have to use "spell-finish" to finish the existig session. It also notifies with main voice similar to selecting a node outside spell-branch
.
spell-letter
spell-letter
type: string
You may use spell-letter
to specify next letter to add in the spelling session. By default it is going to use the text of the node itself.
spell-word
spell-word
type: string
You can use spell-word
to complete a word in the spelling memory. Let's say you select letter A
and then select spell-word="apple"
. Then it will remove registered letter A
and then adds apple.
Spelling process allows the user to add more than one word by adding space in between them.
spell-update-dyn-onchange
spell-update-dyn-onchange
type: boolean
When this attribute is given to spell-branch
node. It will update all dyn nodes inside this branch.
This attribute is primarily used when spell-branch
node contains dynamic nodes. With dyn="spell-word-prediction"
and/or dyn="spell-letter-prediction"
.
stay-in-branch
stay-in-branch
type: boolean
With stay in branch you can specify a branch to start over from when user selects a leaf node in that branch. Here's an example.
change-tree
change-tree
type: path
When user selects change-tree
pasco tries to load the given tree and open it. Then it starts from beginning in the new tree.
change-tree-by-name
change-tree-by-name
type: string
Change by tree is similar to changetree
. Except it loads the tree from saved trees inside pasco. You can manage saved trees at Vocabulary section of config page.
no-main
no-main
type: boolean
When you select a node that has no-main
it will not utter main voice.
webhook
webhook
type: url (string)
pasco has a set of webhook attributes that enables users to perform an http request to sites that support cross-origin xhr requests. It is specifically designed for use of iot webhooks like zapier.com, Here's an example.
webhook-method

dyn
dyn

Dynamic attribute introduces dynamic nodes into pasco. Below you can see possible values.
dyn="trees-switcher"
dyn="trees-switcher"
Lists saved trees, Each as a node. And when user selects any. It will change the tree to that.
dyn="spell-word-prediction"
dyn="spell-word-prediction"
Offers some words as prediction of current spelling. Here are the accepted attributes for this dyn. word-file
, max-nodes
and predict-after-n-chars
.
dyn="spell-letter-prediction"
dyn="spell-letter-prediction"
Predicts order of alphabetic letters according to current spelling status. Here are the accepted attributes for this dyn. word-file
, max-nodes
, predict-after-n-chars
and alphabet
.
words-file
words-file
type: path
Words file used for word prediction. At the moment predictions have a simple method of sorting according to weight in words file. Example words file
This attribute is required when spell dyn has set to a node.
Only for spell dyns
max-nodes
max-nodes
type: integer (greater than or equal zero)
Maximum number of nodes to show as predictions. Default: 3
Only for spell dyns
predict-after-n-chars
predict-after-n-chars
type: integer (greater than or equal zero)
Start predicting after n letters has inserted when spelling. Default: null (no limit)

Path Value
Path is of type string that is expected to be http(s) url or relative path in the package or relative path from base url.
