Case contract

Format integer milliseconds as a cue timestamp. Negative values clamp to 0. style "srt" gives HH:MM:SS,mmm (hours at least two digits, never wrapped); style "vtt" gives MM:SS.mmm when the hour field is zero and HH:MM:SS.mmm otherwise.

Why this case matters

Subtitle timing defects shift, hide or overlap captions that viewers depend on for comprehension and accessibility.
