insert a break

Hi,
I need to pompt a variable which is created in a javascript.
The variable is a text created from a list of values.
I tried to insert a  <vxml:break /> between each values.
Let me give you an example:  text_var = "apple <vxml:break /> pear 
<vxml:break /> lemon".
But executing the code <vxml:value expr="text_var" /> the TTS
did not insert 
the pause given by the <vxml:break /> code. The TTS read "apple pear
lemon".
Is there a way to insert a break inside a text variable readable by the TTS?

Thanks in advantage.
Antonella.

Interesting issue there.  <vxml:break> is part of the ssml support, but 
not sure what happens if it is in a variable.  Are you doing the TTS in 
a <vxml:prompt> or <vxml:block> ?

You can also insert a set of ,,,,, to get artificial pauses.
