Does a screenreader pause on SPANs

问题

If for presentational purposes one needs to separate a word with spans or other inline elements, does a screenreader still read the whole word?

Example:

<code>span</code>s

or

Forscher<span class="gendered">In</span>

回答1:

Generally screen readers don't pause in this case. However, if a user enables font changes and/or colors reporting, it might cause interruptions like this:

Consolas span Arial s

for <span>s. That's because the code segments are rendered with Consolas font here at StackOverflow, and normal text is in Arial.
