The first cue is simple, it will probably just display on one line. The second will take two lines, one for each speaker. The third will wrap to fit the width of the video, possibly taking multiple lines. For example, the three cues could look like this:

           Never drink liquid nitrogen.

        — It will perforate your stomach.
                — You could die.

        basis of the information provided.
If the width of the cues is smaller, the first two cues could wrap as well, as in the following example. Note how the second cue’s explicit line break is still honored, however:

      Never drink
    liquid nitrogen.

  — It will perforate
      your stomach.
    — You could die.

Also notice how the wrapping is done so as to keep the line lengths balanced.

This file was written by Jill. I hope
you enjoy reading it. Some things to
bear in mind:
- I was lip-reading, so the cues may
not be 100% accurate
- I didn’t pay too close attention to
when the cues should start or end.

00:01.000 --> 00:04.000
Never drink liquid nitrogen.

NOTE check next cue
