replace_invalid_lines() deletes rich text

Closed this issue · 0 comments

I have this main.rs:

fn main() {
    rsubs_lib::vtt::parse_from_file("./subs.vtt".to_string())
        .unwrap()
        .to_ass()
        .to_file("./subs.ass")
        .unwrap();
}

and this subs.vtt:

WEBVTT

00:37.138 --> 00:38.990
<i>New Yorkers, a season high,
seven inches of rain last night.</i>

00:39.090 --> 00:42.076
<i>It looks like the storm has passed.</i>

I do cargo run, and i get this subs.ass:

As you can see, the .ass file is losing rich-text informaion. <i> and </i> are being replaced with empty strings. (I think this happens inside replace_invalid_lines() in vtt.rs)

I'm my opinion we should replace <i>text</i> (that is found very often in .srt or .vtt files) with {\i1}text{\i0} (supported by .ass files)
We should write conversions somewhere, something like this:

line_text = str::replace(&line_text, "<i>", "{\\i1}");
line_text = str::replace(&line_text, "</i>", "{\\i0}");
line_text = str::replace(&line_text, "<b>", "{\\b1}");
line_text = str::replace(&line_text, "</b>", "{\\b0}");
line_text = str::replace(&line_text, "<u>", "{\\u1}");
line_text = str::replace(&line_text, "</u>", "{\\u0}");
line_text = str::replace(&line_text, "<s>", "{\\s1}");
line_text = str::replace(&line_text, "</s>", "{\\s0}");
