Preserve line breaks in multiline subtitles
Arthaey opened this issue · 5 comments
This is an interesting idea, but it tends to produce weird-looking output in two important modes:
- When generating bilingual *.srt files, which need to conserve vertical real estate on the TV screen.
- When there isn't a simple 1-to-1 mapping between the two languages' subs, and multiple subtitles need to be merged. This works much better if I join lines across the merged subs.
How would you feel if I submitted a (tested) patch for adding a manual control, something like --multiline?
Please consider this in conjunction with #59. I've been using your tool as part of a script that produces EPUBs for offline study of subtitled content and would love to preserve line breaks to improve the formatting.
Would also love to see support for overlapping subtitles - this has been on my list to figure out but would be great if substudy just supported it directly. Sounds like you're at least thinking about it per #37.
Thanks for your great tool!

Oh, cool! I've started a discussion of the new file format at #59 (comment), and I'd love your feedback on supporting your ebook exporter.
