Adding a pause between paragraphs

<p>

This tag is supported by generative, long-form, neural, and standard TTS formats.

To add a pause between paragraphs in your text, use the <p> tag. Using this tag provides a longer pause than native speakers usually place at commas or the end of a sentence. Use the <p> tag to enclose the paragraph:

<speak> <p>This is the first paragraph. There should be a pause after this text is spoken.</p> <p>This is the second paragraph.</p> </speak>

This is equivalent to specifying a pause using <break strength="x-strong"/>.
