VoiceXML 2.1 Development Guide

<emphasis> element

The emphasis element allows the developer to specify the level, or stress, of any specified TTS enclosed within the emphasis element. Do note that SSML tags are ignored by some of the available TTS engines, while some engines use their own non-compliant markup. Check the Text-To-Speech appendices for additional details.

The description of the level attribute seems to have been cut off by the doc build system. "... The level attribute defines the amount of emphasis or de-emphasis that is assigned to the nested TTS. This". Sure would like to know what comes next.

Hi,

I apologize for the inconvenience you are experiencing from the break in our documentation. The accepted values for level should be strong (which will add a strong emphasis), moderate (which will add a slight emphasis), reduced (which will apply lowered emphasis), none (which will apply no emphasis. However if this isn't what you where looking to know more about <emphasis> element, please let us know exactly what you're looking for so that we may relay that information to you while we work on improving and correcting our documentation.

Regards,
