## Examples

### Generic from file name
```python
from pycaptions import Captions

with Captions("tests/test.en.srt") as captions:
    captions.saveVTT("test")
```

### Generic from file stream
```python
with open("tests/test.en.srt", encoding="UTF-8") as f:
    captions = Captions(f) # or captions = Captions()
                           # captions.read(f)
    captions.saveVTT("test")
```

### Generic from string
```python
srt = """1
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:02,000
This is a test file
"""
captions = Captions(srt) # or captions = Captions()
                         # captions.detect(srt)
captions.saveVTT("test")
```

### Specific reader
Have the same functions as generic, except

```python
from pycaptions import SubRip, detectSRT

with open("tests/test.en.srt", encoding="UTF-8") as f:
    if detectSRT(f): # or SubRip.detect(f)
        captions = SubRip().read(f)
        captions.saveVTT("test")
```

### Multilingual
```python
from pycaptions import Captions

# if the format supports multiple languages
with Captions("tests/test.ttml") as captions:
    # first line will be in english, second one in spanish
    captions.saveSRT("test", ["en","es"] lines=1) # recomended to specify lines=1
    
# if you have multiple files and you want to make multilingual one
with Captions("tests/test.en.srt") as captions:
    with Captions("tests/test.es.srt") as captions2:
        # only subtitle text and comments (if format supports them) are added
        captions+=captions2 
    # first line will be in english, second one in spanish
    captions.save("test", ["en","es"], lines=1) # recomended to specify lines=1
```

### Combine files
```python
with Captions("tests/test.en.srt") as captions:
    captions.joinFile("tests/test.en.srt", add_end_time=True)
    captions.save("test")
```

## Changelog
### v0.7.0
Release date: 2024-02-06

Changes:
- **Added cli support** (e.g `pycaptions "path/to/file/file.srt" -f vtt`)
- Added autoformat for all values of `lines`
- Added function `CaptionsFormat.getLanguagesAndFilename`
- Added function `CaptionsFormat.getFilename`
- Added `MicroTime.fromMicrotime` creates a MicroTime from a list
- Added `MicroTime.toMicrotime` returns a MicroTime as a list
- Added `MicroTime.fromAnyFormat` returns a MicroTime from provided format (case insensitive)
- `MicroTime.fromSUBTime` and `MicroTime.toSUBTime` now supports framerate as string
- `Captions.save` output_format is now case insensitive
- Improved MicroDVD style conversion
- Internal restructure for faster development
- Invalid `style` argument will result in `style=None`
- Added `style_options` for changing style globaly, default `style="full"` `lines=-1`, this affects how the style is parsed. (e.g. `style_options.style=None` and then using argument `style="full"` will not convert any style due to optimizations for faster conversion)
- Hypens at the end of the lines (e.g "Some-<br/>thing") will be removed if `lines` is >-1
- `Styling` is now split into `StyleFormat` and `Styling(StyleFormat)`

Fixes:
- Fixed "lxml is not installed" error
- Fixed `Styling.getTTML` converting invalid css properties into ttml properties. To-do: add value checks for these properties.
- Fixed `CaptionsFormat.getLanguagesFromFilename` getting languages from directory path (e.g. `\path.to.file\file.en.srt` -> `["to", "en"]`)
- Fixed width and height not being saved to json
