Required. Identifies the name of the mark element. The value is a string. |
Remarks
Use the empty mark element to insert a marker into an output stream to trigger asynchronous notification.
When the application reaches the mark element, the text-to-speech engine raises an event that includes the value for the name attribute of the element. In Microsoft.Speech, the speech synthesizer raises a BookmarkReached event when it encounters a mark element.
