Bug 140916 – AX: [ATK] Implement support for new AtkRole types for MathML

• Component: Accessibility
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Joanmarie Diggs]

ATK 2.15.4 has four new roles applicable to MathML:
* ATK_ROLE_MATH_FRACTION
* ATK_ROLE_MATH_ROOT
* ATK_ROLE_SUBSCRIPT
* ATK_ROLE_SUPERSCRIPT

We should implement support for them.

Note that in the case of subscript and superscript, the {sub,super}script functionally is not the {msub,msup} element (which includes the base). Therefore, I think what makes the most sense is to expose the script container as ATK_ROLE_SECTION (the generic textblock role) and then expose its children (the functional sub/sup) using the new roles.

NOT yet asking for review. I generated results for the Mac and am hoping they'll match for Mountain Lion and Mavericks. Tossing them at EWS to see. Ditto for the jhbuild ATK version bump for Gtk.

[Joanmarie Diggs]

Ok, NOW I'm asking for review. :)

@Chris: If you have time to review this, that would be awesome.

@Carlos: This is a heads up and request for you to bless (or deny) the jhbuild ATK version bump once I have a patch that passes review. To see what we will be able to regression test from the bump, compare the Gtk+ test changes to the Efl ones.

Thanks guys!

I think we should check if parentObjectUnignored() returns nullptr before calling that method on it.

or -> || (is 'or' being used in WebKit in other places?)

can you add some comments what this is trying to determine?

and here too

Done.

Done. (Was multitasking with some Python code. Apologies.)
 
> can you add some comments what this is trying to determine?

Done.

(Carlos says he's ok with it, but to check with you.)

With these comments, I see that I think we can probably combine these methods into one like

isMathMultiscriptObject(AccessibilityMathMultiscriptType type)

Sure, but then how do I know if it's a subscript or a superscript? The goal is to distinguish them.

Never mind. Misread.
