Add pauses in speech and silence periods between audio clips

Introduce pauses in speech within a paragraph

Use syntax <break time="1.5s" /> to add pauses within a paragraph. The specified pause duration can be between 0 and 3 seconds in length.

For example, if you want to hear "Breathe in. (1 second pause) Breathe out.", write down the following script before  generating the audio for speech :

Breathe in. <break time="1s" /> Breathe out.
