SRT Syntax?

[kakomu]

Here's the situation. I'm currently in the process of ripping a few anime DVDs. I've already ripped the subtitles with color and italics. The problem I'm having is that I can't find ANY site out there that gives an explanation of all of the syntax for the SRT format. Here is the all important question I have:

Am I able to set a color for the outline of the text?

Also, is there a guide to SRT syntax available?

No, only text color. Outline color depends on the player.

Also, is there a guide to SRT syntax available?A simple Googlesearch for (entered as one line including quotation marks and "AND"s)

"SRT" and "syntax" and "subtitle"

The .srt format has the following syntax:
1
00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:06,736
The weather is nice today

2
00:00:06,900 --> 00:00:09,494
Yes it is
but not as nice as yesterday

It represents a time span in 'hours:minutes:seconds,milliseconds' to show the subtitle text.

Here is one created for matrix.avi -> http://mightylegends.zapto.org/dvd/matrix.srt

I could have gotten that from the subtitle files I created. I want to know ALL the different syntaxes I can use, include, but not limited to colors, italics, bold, etc. I want to know all the different things I can do with subrip.

So far, all I've seen is bold, italics and colors.

As far as I know, ".SRT", the simplest of the subtitle formats has ONLY the following additional syntax categories available (In addition to what I previously noted):

- TAGS: <b>bold</b>, <i>italic</i>, <u>underline</u>

That's all you can do with srt. More on different subtitle formats here: http://www.cccp-project.net/wiki/index.php?title=Video_File#SRT

If you want a more advanced subtitles format (where you can change fon, color, etc. to your liking), give a shot to ASS format.
