Re: [Emacspeak] speech pausing at end of line

[Victor Tsaran <vtsaran@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.
I suspected as much but wanted to verify the behavior before replying to you.
It appears as though Emacspeak basically follows whatever is reported as a paragraph by the editor. The way to verify this is to use Emacs’s own shortcut keys for moving between paragraphs. Try M-{ and M-} to move between paragraphs and you will see what I am talking about.
I suspect that EWW defines paragraphs as specified by the underlying HTML rather than the actual visual layout on the screen.

I hope this helps.
Vic
