News TickerBLK

Displays a compact stream of linked news headlines - a seamless CSS marquee that pauses on hover and focus, and stops for reduced motion. Part of the News blocks.

Native basis

A labelled <section> with one list of headline links - repeated once in the same track, inert and aria-hidden, so the loop is seamless while assistive tech and the tab order see each headline once. A CSS animation slides the track; hover and focus pause it.

Data attributes

data-variant (breaking, static), data-size="sm"; --mk-news-ticker-duration (default 40s); data-variant (market, inverse, pill); .mk-news-ticker-trend[data-trend="up|down"].

§Default

Hover or focus a headline and the strip pauses. The list runs twice in the track - the copy is inert and aria-hidden, so each headline is read and tabbed once.

§Breaking

data-variant='breaking': a red label with a pulsing dot. --mk-news-ticker-duration sets the speed (here 25s).

§Static and small

data-variant='static': no motion, the row scrolls by hand - what everyone gets under prefers-reduced-motion. data-size='sm' slims the strip.

§Market

data-variant='market': symbols, prices and changes in mono - .mk-news-ticker-trend with data-trend='up' / 'down' draws the arrow and the colour.

§Inverse with badges

data-variant='inverse': a dark band. Each headline can lead with a Badge for its desk.

§Pill

data-variant='pill': a rounded, floating strip - announcements above a landing page.

   reduced motion it stops and the row scrolls by hand instead. */
