Read Aloud skipping endnote entries (by default)

[dazrand]

Read aloud skips any

item with the @epub:type='endnote' applied to it. Stripping the attribute allows it to read those

entries. In the sample below the second list item reads, the others are skipped.

<ol>
<li epub:type="endnote" id="r1">O’Toole, Michael. <cite>The Hermeneutic Spiral</cite>. New York: Routledge, 2018.</li>
<li id="r2">O’Toole, Michael. <cite>The Hermeneutic Spiral</cite>. New York: Routledge, 2018.</li>
<li epub:type="endnote" id="r3">O’Toole, Michael. <cite>The Hermeneutic Spiral</cite>. New York: Routledge, 2018.</li>
</ol>
</section>

hello, have you tried disabling "skippability"?
(there's a checkbox in the extended playback section, i.e. the icon button cluster located in the center of the top bar)

[dazrand]

That did it. Should that be off be default?

I converted the original issue into this GitHub discussion. This asks whether "skippability" should be activated by default when installing / first-time launching Thorium. Note that the boolean configuration switch applies to both authored EPUB3 Media Overlays (which includes DAiSY talking books) as well as Thorium's own TTS readaloud feature:
