Description

This is a template for giving bits of text a TTS pronunciation.

Earlier, aria-label was mistakenly used for this, but it turns out that text substitution for speaking-machines is something that is not currently well-supported in HTML. (This can be a problem when it comes to the temptation to turn everything into "AI" — understanding that every piece of text written by humans is made of arbitrary signifiers, it is incredibly tempting to simply build a dynamic signifier-interpreting agent that actively learns all the exceptions to every rule instead of properly building a system where "dumb" programs or bits of data can easily pass along less-ambiguous messages to each other.)
