+<p><span class="seoSummary"><strong>Web视频文本跟踪格式 </strong>(<strong>WebVTT</strong>) 是一种使用{{HTMLElement("track")}}元素显示定时文本轨道（如字幕或标题）的格式。 WebVTT文件的主要用途是将文本叠加添加到{{HTMLElement("video")}}。 WebVTT是一种基于文本的格式，必须使用{{Glossary("UTF-8")}}进行编码。 在可以使用空格的地方，您也可以使用制表符。 还有一个小的API可用于表示和管理这些轨道以及在正确的时间执行文本回放所需的数据。</span></p>

+<h2 id="WebVTT_文件">WebVTT 文件</h2>
+
+<p>WebVTT 文件的 MIME 类型为 <code>text/vtt</code>。</p>
+
+<p>一个 WebVTT 文件（<code>.vtt</code>） 包含任意条<u>带时间的提示性内容</u>（<u>cue</u>）（可理解为一条或多条字幕），可以是单行或多行，如下所示：</p>
+
+<pre>WEBVTT
+
+00:01.000 --&gt; 00:04.000
+Never drink liquid nitrogen. 别喝液氮。

+<ul>
+ <li>一个可选的字节顺序标记（BOM）。</li>
+ <li>字符串 "<code>WEBVTT</code>"。</li>
+ <li>An optional text header to the right of <code>WEBVTT.</code>
+  <ul>
+   <li>There must be at least one space after <code>WEBVTT.</code></li>

+
+<p>In the case of each cue:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>第一行以时间开始，时间是显示下面出现的文本的开始时间。</li>
+ <li>在同一行，我们有一个字符串<code>--&gt;</code>。</li>
+ <li>我们用第二次结束第一行，这是显示关联文本的结束时间。</li>
+ <li>然后，我们可以有一个或多个以连字符(-)开头的行，每个行包含要显示的文本跟踪的一部分。</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>我们还可以在.vtt文件中放置注释，以帮助我们记住关于文件各部分的重要信息。这些应该在单独的行上，从字符串NOTE开始。您将在下一节中找到更多关于这些的信息。</p>
+
+<p>重要的是不要在提示中使用“额外的”空白行，例如在计时行和提示有效负载之间。WebVTT是基于行;空白行将关闭提示。</p>
+
+<h2 id="WebVTT_注释">WebVTT 注释</h2>
+
+<p>Comments are an optional component that can be used to add information to a WebVTT file. Comments are intended for those reading the file and are not seen by users. Comments may contain newlines but cannot contain a blank line, which is equivalent to two consecutive newlines. A blank line signifies the end of a comment.</p>
+
+<p>A comment cannot contain the string "<code>--&gt;",</code> the ampersand character (&amp;), or the less-than sign (&lt;). If you wish to use such characters, you need to escape them using for example <code>&amp;amp;</code> for ampersand and <code>&amp;lt;</code> for less-than. It is also recommended that you use the greater-than escape sequence (<code>&amp;gt;</code>) instead of the greater-than character (<code>&gt;</code>) to avoid confusion with tags.</p>
+
+<p>A comment consists of three parts:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>The string <code>NOTE.</code></li>
+ <li>A space or a newline.</li>
+ <li>Zero or more characters other than those noted above.</li>

+<h2 id="Styling_WebVTT_cues">Styling WebVTT cues</h2>
+
+<p>You can style WebVTT cues by looking for elements which match the {{cssxref("::cue")}} pseudo-element.</p>
+
+<h3 id="Within_site_CSS">Within site CSS</h3>
+
+<pre class="brush: css">video::cue {
+  background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, dimgray, lightgray);
+  color: papayawhip;
+}
+
+video::cue(b) {
+  color: peachpuff;
+}
+</pre>
+
+<p>Here, all video elements are styled to use a gray linear gradient as their backgrounds, with a foreground color of <code>"papayawhip"</code>. In addition, text boldfaced using the {{HTMLElement("b")}} element are colored <code>"peachpuff"</code>.</p>
+
+<p>The HTML snippet below actually handles displaying the media itself.</p>
+
+<pre class="brush: html">&lt;video controls autoplay src="video.webm"&gt;
+ &lt;track default src="track.vtt"&gt;
+&lt;/video&gt;
+</pre>
+
+<h3 id="Within_the_WebVTT_file_itself">Within the WebVTT file itself</h3>
+
+<p>You can also define the style directly in the WebVTT file. In this case, you insert your CSS rules into the file with each rule preceded by the string <code>"STYLE"</code> all by itelf on a line of text, as shown below:</p>
+
+<pre>WEBVTT
+
+STYLE
+::cue {
+  background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, dimgray, lightgray);
+  color: papayawhip;
+}
+/* Style blocks cannot use blank lines nor "dash dash greater than" */
+
+NOTE comment blocks can be used between style blocks.
+
+STYLE
+::cue(b) {
+  color: peachpuff;
+}
+
+00:00:00.000 --&gt; 00:00:10.000
+- Hello &lt;b&gt;world&lt;/b&gt;.
+
+NOTE style blocks cannot appear after the first cue.</pre>
+
+<p>We can also use identifiers inside WebVTT file, which can be used for defining a new style for some particular cues in the file. The example where we wanted the transcription text to be red highlighted and the other part to remain normal, we can define it as follows using CSS. Where it must be noted that the CSS uses escape sequences the way they are used in HTML pages:</p>
+
+<pre>WEBVTT
+
+1
+00:00.000 --&gt; 00:02.000
+That’s an, an, that’s an L!
+
+crédit de transcription
+00:04.000 --&gt; 00:05.000
+Transcrit par Célestes™
+</pre>
+
+<pre class="brush: css">::cue(#\31) { color: lime; }
+::cue(#crédit\ de\ transcription) { color: red; }</pre>
+
+<p>Positioning of text tracks is also supported, by including positioning information after the timings in a cue, as seen below (see {{anch("Cue settings")}} for more information):</p>
+
+<pre>WEBVTT
+
+00:00:00.000 --&gt; 00:00:04.000 position:10%,line-left align:left size:35%

+<h2 id="WebVTT_cues">WebVTT cues</h2>
+
+<p>A cue is a single subtitle block that has a single start time, end time, and textual payload. Example 6 consists of the header, a blank line, and then five cues separated by blank lines. A cue consists of five components:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>An optional cue identifier followed by a newline.</li>
+ <li>Cue timings.</li>
+ <li>Optional cue settings with at least one space before the first and between each setting.</li>
+ <li>One or more newlines.</li>
+ <li>The cue payload text.</li>
+</ul>

+
+<h3 id="Cue_identifier">Cue identifier</h3>
+
+<p>The identifier is a name that identifies the cue. It can be used to reference the cue from a script. It must not contain a newline and cannot contain the string "<code>--&gt;"</code>. It must end with a single newline. They do not have to be unique, although it is common to number them (e.g., 1, 2, 3, ...).</p>

+
+<h3 id="Cue_timings">Cue timings</h3>
+
+<p>A cue timing indicates when the cue is shown. It has a start and end time which are represented by timestamps. The end time must be greater than the start time, and the start time must be greater than or equal to all previous start times. Cues may have overlapping timings.</p>
+
+<p>If the WebVTT file is being used for chapters ({{HTMLElement("track")}} {{htmlattrxref("kind")}} is <code>chapters</code>) then the file cannot have overlapping timings.</p>
+
+<p>Each cue timing contains five components:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Timestamp for start time.</li>
+ <li>At least one space.</li>
+ <li>The string "<code>--&gt;".</code></li>
+ <li>At least one space.</li>
+ <li>Timestamp for end time.
+  <ul>
+   <li>Which must be greater than the start time.</li>
+  </ul>
+ </li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The timestamps must be in one of two formats:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><code>mm:ss.ttt</code></li>
+ <li><code>hh:mm:ss.ttt</code></li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Where the components are defined as follows:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><code>hh</code> is hours.
+
+  <ul>
+   <li>Must be at least two digits.</li>
+   <li>Hours can be greater than two digits (e.g., 9999:00:00.000).</li>
+  </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li><code>mm</code> is minutes.
+  <ul>
+   <li>Must be between 00 and 59 inclusive.</li>
+  </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li><code>ss</code> is seconds.
+  <ul>
+   <li>Must be between 00 and 59 inclusive.</li>
+  </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li><code>ttt</code> is miliseconds.
+  <ul>
+   <li>Must be between 000 and 999 inclusive.</li>

+<h3 id="Cue_settings">Cue settings</h3>
+
+<p>Cue settings are optional components used to position where the cue payload text will be displayed over the video. This includes whether the text is displayed horizontally or vertically. There can be zero or more of them, and they can be used in any order so long as each setting is used no more than once.</p>
+
+<p>The cue settings are added to the right of the cue timings. There must be one or more spaces between the cue timing and the first setting and between each setting. A setting's name and value are separated by a colon. The settings are case sensitive so use lower case as shown. There are five cue settings:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><strong>vertical</strong>
+
+  <ul>
+   <li>Indicates that the text will be displayed vertically rather than horizontally, such as in some Asian languages.</li>

A blank line signifies the end of a cue.</p>
+
+<p>A cue text payload cannot contain the string "<code>--&gt;"</code>, the ampersand character (&amp;), or the less-than sign (&lt;). Instead use the escape sequence "&amp;amp;" for ampersand and "&amp;lt;" for less-than. It is also recommended that you use the greater-than escape sequence "&amp;gt;" instead of the greater-than character (&gt;) to avoid confusion with tags. If you are using the WebVTT file for metadata these restrictions do not apply.</p>

+
+<p>There are a number of tags, such as <code>&lt;bold&gt;</code>, that can be used. However, if the WebVTT file is used in a {{HTMLElement("track")}} element where the attribute {{htmlattrxref("kind")}} is <code>chapters</code> then you cannot use tags.</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><strong>Timestamp tag</strong>
+
+  <ul>
+   <li>The timestamp must be greater that the cue's start timestamp, greater than any previous timestamp in the cue payload, and less than the cue's end timestamp. The <em>active text</em> is the text between the timestamp and the next timestamp or to the end of the payload if there is not another timestamp in the payload. Any text before the <em>active text</em> in the payload is <em>previous text</em> . Any text beyond the <em>active text</em> is <em>future text</em> . This enables karaoke style captions.</li>

+<h2 id="Interfaces">Interfaces</h2>
+
+<p>There are two interfaces or APIs used in WebVTT which are:</p>
+
+<h3 id="VTTCue_interface">VTTCue interface</h3>
+
+<p>It is used for providing an interface in Document Object Model API, where different attributes supported by it can be used to prepare and alter the cues in number of ways.</p>
+
+<p>Constructor is the first point for starting the Cue which is defined using the default constructor VTTCue(startTime, endTime, text) where starting time, ending time and text for cue can be adjusted. After that we can set the region for that particular cue to which this cue belongs using cue.region. Vertical, horizontal, line, lineAlign, Position, positionAlign, text, size and Align can be used to alter the cue and its formation, just like we can alter the objects form, shape and visibility in HTML using CSS. But the VTTCue interface is within the WebVTT provides the vast range of adjustment variables which can be used directly to alter the Cue. Following interface can be used to expose WebVTT cues in DOM API:</p>

+<h2 id="Methods_and_properties">Methods and properties</h2>
+
+<p>The methods used in WebVTT are those which are used to alter the cue or region as the attributes for both interfaces are different. We can categorize them for better understanding relating to each interface in WebVTT:</p>
+
+<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
+ <li>

+     <li>VTT Constructor for creating new objects of Cues.</li>
+     <li>Autokeyword.</li>
+     <li>DirectionSetting: to set the direction of caption or text in a file.</li>

+
+<h2 id="Tutorial_on_how_to_write_a_WebVTT_file">Tutorial on how to write a WebVTT file</h2>
+
+<p>There are few steps that can be followed to write a simple webVTT file. Before start, it must be noted that you can make use of a notepad and then save the file as ‘.vtt’ file. Steps are given below:</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Open a notepad.</li>
+ <li>The first line of WebVTT is standardized similar in the way some other languages require you to put headers as the file starts to indicate the file type. One the very first line you have to write.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<pre>WEBVTT</pre>
+
+<p>      3. Leave the second line blank, and on the third line the time for first cue is to be specified. For example, for a first cue starting at time 1 second and ending at 5 seconds, it is written as:</p>
+
+<pre>00:01.000 --&gt; 00:05.000</pre>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>On the next line you can write the caption for this cue which will run from 1<sup>st</sup> second to the 5<sup>th</sup> second, inclusive.</li>
+ <li>Following the similar steps, a complete WebVTT file for specific video or audio file can be made.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<h2 id="CSS_pseudo-classes">CSS pseudo-classes</h2>
+
+<p>CSS pseudo classes allow us to classify the type of object which we want to differentiate from other types of objects. It works in similar manner in WebVTT files as it works in HTML file.</p>
+
+<p>It is one of the good features supported by WebVTT is the localization and use of class elements which can be used in same way they are used in HTML and CSS to classify the style for particular type of objects, but here these are used for styling and classifying the Cues as shown below:</p>
+
+<pre>WEBVTT
+
+04:02.500 --&gt; 04:05.000
+J’ai commencé le basket à l'âge de 13, 14 ans
+
+04:05.001 --&gt; 04:07.800
+Sur les &lt;i.foreignphrase&gt;&lt;lang en&gt;playground&lt;/lang&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, ici à Montpellier</pre>
+
+<p>In the above example it can be observed that we can use the identifier and pseudo class name for defining the language of caption, where <code>&lt;i&gt;</code> tag is for italics.</p>
+
+<p>The type of pseudo class is determined by the selector it is using and working is similar in nature as it works in HTML. Following CSS pseudo classes can be used:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Lang (Lanugage): e.g., p:lang(it).</li>
+ <li>Link: e.g., a:link.</li>
+ <li>Nth-last-child: e.g., p:nth-last-child(2).</li>
+ <li>Nth-child(n): e.g., p:nth-child(2).</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Where p and a are the tags which are used in HTML for paragraph and link, respectively and they can be replaced by identifiers which are used for Cues in WebVTT file.</p>

+
+<p>Prior to Firefox 50, the <code>AlignSetting</code> enum (representing possible values for {{domxref("VTTCue.align")}}) incorrectly included the value <code>"middle"</code> instead of <code>"center"</code>. This has been corrected.</p>
+
+<p>WebVTT was implemented in Firefox 24 behind the preference {{pref("media.webvtt.enabled")}}, which is disabled by default; you can enable it by setting this preference to <code>true</code>. WebVTT is enabled by default starting in Firefox 31 and can be disabled by setting the preference to <code>false</code>.</p>
+
+<p>Prior to Firefox 58, the <code>REGION</code> keyword was creating {{domxref("VTTRegion")}} objects, but they were not being used. Firefox 58 now fully supports <code>VTTRegion</code> and its use; however, this feature is disabled by default behind the preference <code>media.webvtt.regions.enabled</code>; set it to <code>true</code> to enable region support in Firefox 58. Regions are enabled by default starting in Firefox 59 (see bugs {{bug(1338030)}} and {{bug(1415805)}}).</p>
