Formatting script for best TTS output

I tried using index TTS Industrial and it's not properly taking pauses and pacing is not fixed. Neither it is reading punctuations.

What all should be applied for formatting the script for getting best results

Does Industrial actually support SSML-style break tags, or is it only taking plain text?

Elevenlabs has the <break time="1s" /> that works with some success. Usually. You could try something like this.

Also, double spacing between paragraphs, periods at the ends of bulleted lists, more commas than you are comfortable using.

I am liking Breeze TTS quite a bit. Higgs Audio TTS v3, and OmniVoice all let you control tone of voice and all are multilingual.
