[79] [[WebVTT]] の構文、意味、構文解析の方法は [[WebVTT]] 仕様で規定されていますが、
[[API]] や[[媒体要素]]の処理モデルとの絡みは [[HTML]] 仕様で規定されています。

** ABNF 風構文

[65] 構文を [[ABNF]] 風に表記すると次のようになります。なお、 [[WebVTT]]

* 文脈

[43] [[WebVTT]] [[文書]]は、[[HTML]] [[文書]]から [CODE(HTMLe)@en[[[track]]]]
[[要素]]により参照します。

[134] [[HLS]] の[[媒体セグメント]]として使うこともできます。

* API

[75] 既存の [[WebVTT]] [[文書]]の参照は、[[スクリプト]]からも [CODE(HTMLe)@en[[[track]]]]
[[要素]]を操作することによって行えます。

[76] また [[WebVTT]] によって記述された [[cue]] も、[[テキスト・トラックAPI]]
により参照、操作できます。 [[cue]] を追加したり削除したりすることができます。

[77] [[テキスト・トラック]]自体も、 [CODE(DOMm)@en[[[addTextTrack]]]]
[[メソッド]]によって動的に生成することができます。

* 歴史

** WebSRT

[41] 当初は [[WHATWG]] により、 [[SRT]] に幾分の互換性のある [DFN[[[WebSRT]]]]
として開発されました。

** W3C Web Media Text Tracks Community Group

[60] 2011年11月には [[W3C Web Media Text Tracks Community Group]] が組織されました。
同 [[CG]] は [[Ian Hickson]] を[[編集者]]として [[WebVTT]] の標準化を [[W3C]]
において行うこととなったため、 [[WebVTT]] 仕様は [[WHATWG]] から同 [[CG]] に移管されました。

[61] 移管されたとは言え、[[編集者]]は変わらず [[Ian Hickson]] であり、単一のファイルから
[[HTML]] と [[WebVTT]] の仕様書を生成するスタイルは継続しています。 [[W3C]] の [[CVS]]
で管理されてはいますが、元のファイルは [[WHATWG]] の [[SVN]] にあります。
実質的に変化したのは [[HTML Living Standard]] から [[WebVTT]] の部分が削除されたことくらいです。

;; [62] この頃まで Ian は [[Web Applications 1.0]] / [[HTML Living Standard]] をすべての仕様の統合体としていたのに、
なぜ [[WebVTT]] を同じスタイルで、 [[HTML Living Standard]] の一部でもあり、 [[WebVTT Living Standard]]
という単体の仕様でもある、としなかったのかは謎です。

;; [63] [[W3C]] [[CG]] はこの頃できた新しい制度で、 [[W3C]] の資源を利用しつつも自由な運営と標準化を行えます。
[[WebVTT Living Standard]] は [[W3C]] のサイトにあり、 [[W3C]] のロゴも掲示されていますが、
[[CSS]] は [WEAK[([[W3C]] の青色のものではなく)]] [[WHATWG]] の緑色のものを使っています。
また、 [[W3C]] 本体の仕様に対しては認めていない「[[Living Standard]]」を名乗っています。

> JW Player does not yet support WebVTT cue settings (line, position, size, etc.), nor most WebVTT cue objects (class, ruby, timestamp, etc.). They will not break playback, but are simply ignored. However, some basic HTML tags are supported:
> <b>: to make text bold.
> <i>: to make text italic.
> <u>: to underline text.
> <font size="123">: to change the text fontsize.
> <font color="ffcc00">: to change the text color.
> Here is an example VTT file with a few cues containing inline styles:
> WEBVTT
> 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:10.000
> <b>Nothing</b> is going on.
> 00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:12.500
> <font color="#3333CC">Violet, <i>please</i>!</font>
> - I am <font size="20" color="#FF0000"><u>not</u></font> your babe!
> Note these HTML tags can also be used in SRT or DFXP files. DFXP-specific styling functionality is not supported though.
