Text to speech should insert sentence ending pause after reading a sign title about shipwright HOT 5 CLOSED

This isn't really possible using the text as it is from the game. There is no such thing as a "title" from the perspective of the game's message system. Just ways to control the color, line breaks, yes/no prompts, etc.

Regarding new lines, there is no difference between a sentence that overflows to another line vs these "titles", so without manually adding extra markers to all text in the entire game (which is infeasible), it can't be handled programmatically.

How does it know to draw the purple text as purple? There has to be some kind of marker in the source that does that.

Yes, I said above that there are control codes for colors, new lines, choice prompts, etc.
What does color have to do with anything? Colors are used anywhere in the text, so they cannot be thought of as a "if you see a color, pause the TTS readout". The purple text for example is not something to be used as an indicator for "titles".

And as I said above, new lines also are not indicative of a "pause" either. There is no such control code that is a "header/title" in the OoT message system.

Could you elaborate on why adding metadata/tags/structure to the text is infeasible? Does it have to do with the fact that none of the original game text is stored in the soh code?

from shipwright.

Exactly, SoH doesn't hold any data from the game for legal reasons

The texts, textures, maps, models, sounds, etc are all extracted from the rom and stored into your OTR files

As Archez said it's idealistic to add a marker on all the game text due to how the datas are made and used
