Comment: 0,0:00:00.00,0:00:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,code once,-- here's some code that gets executed once at the very beginning of processing
Comment: 0,0:00:00.00,0:00:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,code,-- this code is also executed just once, at the start of processing (ie. like "once")

Comment: 0,0:00:10.00,0:00:15.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,code syl all,-- this code gets executed for any style, not just the one specified in the template line

Comment: 0,0:00:40.00,0:00:40.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,template line 2,{this appends more tags to each syllable in every line 2, the notext from previous line 2 template is automatically "carried over"}
Comment: 0,0:00:40.00,0:00:40.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,template line,{this generates an anonymous simple-k-replacer style template line}
Comment: 0,0:00:40.00,0:00:40.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,template line keeptags,{this creates another anonymous simple-k-replacer style template line, and also keeps all tags from the original text. the lines built by this template are separate from those built by the previous anonymous one}
Comment: 0,0:00:40.00,0:00:45.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,template syl,{each syllable genrates a line like this, with the syllable text appended}

Comment: 0,0:01:00.00,0:01:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,template char,{each character generates a line like this, with the character appended. positioning variables matches the character and timing matches syllable}

Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.00,0:01:25.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for notext syl and char templates there are also variables $pretext and $posttext which hold the text before and after the syllable/character, to be able to create "build up" style effects
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.00,0:01:30.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,template line timing doesn't matter but layer does (layer is copied directly to the output lines)
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.00,0:01:35.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,style is used for matching again the text
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.00,0:01:40.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's not possible to do furigana per-character
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.00,0:01:45.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,templates are applied first in order of class, then in order of appearance
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.00,0:01:55.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ie. first all pre-line/line templates are applied for a karaoke line, then all syl templates are, then all char templates, then all furi templates, then proceed to next karaoke line
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.00,0:02:00.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,code and template lines within same class are executed intermixed as they appear
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.00,0:02:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(code lines are like template lines, they just don't generate any output)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.00,0:02:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the 'all' modifier should be used carefully, it will catch *any* line, even those without karaoke tags in them
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.00,0:02:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if 'keeptags' is used, tags in syllable zero are prepended to the line and tags in the current syllable are inserted between the template text and syllable text (this is not compatible with 'notext')
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.00,0:02:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the optional identifier for 'pre-line'/'line' can be any string, but numbers are recommended as they won't clash with other modifiers (you can also insert some other special character at the start of the identifier though) - ascii identifiers are case insensitive
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.00,0:02:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'line' templates with identifiers can be used to split long effect lines into several, however they are simply concatenated when parsed, not processed separately
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.00,0:02:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,also, there is no guarantee of execution order of non-anonymous 'line' templates
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.00,0:02:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,anonymous 'line' templates can't have 'pre-line' templates
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.00,0:02:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,while 'syl', 'char' and 'furi' can freely be combined in one line, 'line' and 'pre-line' can't live with any other class, not even each other (ie. you can't have 'line pre-line', 'line syl', 'syl pre-line' etc.)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.00,0:02:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'syl' is the default for templates with no other class specified, like 'once' is the default for code
Comment: 0,0:02:05.00,0:02:10.00,Default,template,0000,0000,0000,,auto3 multi-template style is not supported, it'll need a different script (supporting it all in one will be more work than it's worth, probably, particularily because of differences in variables)
