Reading a text with index marking means the cursor is moved over the
text as the text is read, whenever an inserted index mark is reached.
Index marking is switched off by default but you can set it up for
speechd-speak-read-buffer
and
speechd-speak-read-rest-of-buffer
commands using the following
variables:
speechd-speak-use-index-marks
¶If non-nil
, index marking is enabled for
speechd-speak-read-buffer
and
speechd-speak-read-rest-of-buffer
commands.
speechd-speak-index-mark-regexp
¶Regular expression defining the places where to put index marks to.
An index mark is put at the end of the regexp at each of the places.
If the regular expression is empty (the default), it’s taken from
sentence-end
variable. If sentence-end
is nil
, a
default regular expression matching common punctuation is used.
