http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=14552 --- Comment #16 from Ian 'Hixie' Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> 2011-11-01 04:18:29 UTC --- I really don't think /*...*/ comments fit with the style of WebVTT, based on comment 13. Comment 13 has several use cases: * Notes at the top of the file for things like copyright, typographic conventions, etc * Notes in a cue regarding uncertainty of the transcription's accuracy * Removing blocks of cues that don't belong, but leaving them there anyway (for some reason?) * Commenting out cues that were in an earlier version that didn't correspond to the actual audio, e.g. because a cue has ugly-looking credits. The first one we can easily handle using some sort of non-cue syntax like: WEBVTT NOTES bla bla bla (this block cannot contain the string "-" "-" ">" since recent changes have made the parser eager to find such strings 00:01.000 --> 00:02.000 Bla The second we could handle in a similar way by requiring authors to put such notes between cues, rather than before or after cues: WEBVTT 00:01.000 --> 00:02.000 Bla NOTE i'm not sure the next cue's timing is right 00:02.000 --> 00:03.000 Bla 00:03.000 --> 00:04.000 Bla (such a note couldn't include --> either.) The last two — removing a block of cues — seems to run counter to the desire to help authors not ever exclude cues by accident (e.g. the way we now treat --> as the magical syntax, not the blank line). -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
