honorifics's Issues

Apply timing offsets specified in comments

If a line of dialogue ends with a comment like {+50 ms} or {-50 ms}, change the timing of the line to appear 50ms later or earlier respectively.

If a line of dialogue ends {+1 frame} or {-5 frames}, calculate the duration of a frame and shift accordingly. If no constant framerate is specified in the subtitle file, assume 23.976 fps.

Add usage examples (commandline) to README

Handle substitutions specified in comments

The python3 script should turn the ASS subtitle line

timing,and,styling,garbage,This is the real line of dialogue and it was written in {*}PRL{*Trzecia Rzeczpospolita} and it's awesome.

into

timing,and,styling,garbage,This is the real line of dialogue and it was written in {*}Trzecia Rzeczpospolita{*PRL} and it's awesome.

Generic syntax:

timing,and,styling,garbage,Some dialogue {*}replace me{*use me as replacement} some more dialogue.

ASS comments that don't match this syntax should be ignored.
