Tip: You can add pauses to the typing out of your dialog by adding spaces.

Just found this out when I was trying to control the rate that text typed out mid-line, which I have not figured out how to do (and am not sure IS possible to do in the current version) but I did figure out a fun consequence of the way Monogatari allows HTML in its dialog box, and the way the game types out every character one at a time means that you can make stilted dialog.
Dialog of a character speaking with pauses that reads "Hello. I am speaking. And now... Uh... Well I'm still speaking but I feel very... stilted..." With pauses at each elipses.

This was achieved like this! Very simple.

"Hello. I am speaking.         And now... Uh... Well I'm still speaking but.                I feel very...                                  stilted...",

Enjoy adding dramatic pauses to your games. More spaces mean longer pauses.

Also, you can use zero-width spaces, such as the Mongolian Vowel Separator to add spaces inbetween letters in the same word.
