WebVTT cue timing line parsing: cue ordering check · case 03
Zero-duration cues where END equals START are accepted.
Case contract
Parse "START --> END [settings...]" (whitespace separated). Timestamps are [hh:]mm:ss.ttt with hours of two or more digits, minutes and seconds exactly two digits below 60, and exactly three fraction digits after a period. END must be after START. Return [start_ms,end_ms,settings joined by single spaces] or None.
Why this case matters
Subtitle timing defects shift, hide or overlap captions that viewers depend on for comprehension and accessibility.
