78.3 SUBTITLE STL: IMPORT WORD-LEVEL STYLE FORMATTING

Request: Import word-level style formatting as is already done for the SRT format

Inc. reference: 370931

Implementation:

The import of STL files has been implemented with support for style attributes at the single-word level.

The behaviour is aligned with SRT import: subtitles are saved in the database in HTML format.

As a result, imported subtitles are read-only.

The test2.stl file, provided by the customer for testing, is available in doma.

Important note

This change is not backward compatible.

After the update, STL import will exclusively use the new mode.

Legacy import

In case of issues, it is possible to use the previous import procedure by renaming the file extension

from .stl to .v1.stl

Example: test2.stl → test2.v1.stl

This way, the file will be imported using the deprecated mode.

Important note

Verify whether, on the automation side, the ml-cgc template needs to be updated.

In the penultimate subtitle of the file test2.stl, the following text appears:

Upper row is in italic.

Bottom usual.

In this case, the italic tag is opened at the beginning of the text but never closed.

As a result, the second line is also displayed in italic. This is likely an oversight in the STL file.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additionaly the ml-cgc file needs to be modified following the example 777_SRT.ml-cgc found in incident 310491.

With the new import, the STL file is treated as an SRT file; therefore, the ml-cgc file must be adjusted accordingly.

To verify whether the file is correct, check that it contains the <content-item> node
