Control Text Read Delay Inline

Hey!

I don't know if there is currently a way to control things inline, but I'd very much like to be able to do the following:

I am a line of dialogue being read normally thing... <r=0>BAM!</r> reads all at once, but back to normal read speed after.

If there is, please let me know how since I didn't see anything in the docs that would allow it and if there's not I would like to request it as a feature.

I'm also happy to write my own if there's an undocumented way to extend inline parsing options, I'd just need to be pointed toward what files I should look at to get started.

<readDelay=0> and </readDelay> should do it!

AH! First of all, thanks!

More importantly:
Your statement here has led me to realize something.

When you search for Super Text Mesh on google, the top result for docs points toward https://kaiclavier.com/docs/SuperTextMesh.html which are woefully out of date.

It might be worth turning that page into a redirect to the SuperTextMesh.com version or updating them because I have been reading old docs for the past few months without realizing it.

Oh good point, the actual updated docs are hosted at http://supertextmesh.com/docs/SuperTextMesh.html. Didn't realize they were there, too.


I'll just upload them to both for the time being - I've been thinking about changing the URLs altogether to be more consistent between all assets.
