snippet.
- To ease the voice selection for different narrators, start typing voice
and search through all possible voice settings.
- Syntax highlighting help is offered if you start typing hili followed by
your language of choice. Since LiaScript applies the ace-editor, there is a
matching done between highlight.js and ace. You can select your language from
highlight.js, but it will be translated into the text in parentheses.
