• The proper format for the attributes is
  “attribute:value;attribute:subattribute=subvalue,subattribute=subvalue;”
• These characters need to be escaped with a backslash: backslash, colon, comma, equals, and semicolon.
• Attribute strings must always end with a semicolon.

Bulleted and numbered lists have been implemented in two different ways in IAccessible2 implementations.

In versions 2 and later of IBM Lotus Symphony the list items are objects of role IA2_ROLE_PARAGRAPH; each of those paragraph objects implements IAccessible2::attributes; one of the attributes is the list attribute described below. For these list items IAccessibleText exposes the contents after the non-editable prefix string. The prefix string is in the form of a bullet character, a numbering prefix string, or an image. The reason for this separation of access mechanisms is because the caret is movable through the list text but not through the prefix text.

In Firefox the full string including the prefix is provided via IAccessibleText::text and the “auto-generated” text attribute is used for the string of characters representing the list prefix.

Text objects such as those with role paragraph can have per paragraph object attributes as listed in the table below.
