[INFORMATION] <-- beginning of optional info section, closing tag required
[TITLE] Title of film.
[AUTHOR] Author of film.
[SOURCE] Arbitrary text
[FILEPATH] Arbitrary text
[DELAY] (time in frames to delay all subtitles
[COMMENT] Arbitrary text
[END INFORMATION]
[SUBTITLE] <-- beginning of subtitle section, no closing tag required.

00:01:00.10,00:02:00.20
Oh, no.

<blank line>
00:02:00.30,00:03:00.40
No, never mind, I was hallucinating.


Note: SubViewer 2.0 format, the whole subtitle is written on one line, with line breaks indicated by [br], as follows:
