Some services use WebVTT files with:
- Cue identifiers (Q0, Q1, etc.) before timing lines that pysubs2/pycaption incorrectly parses as subtitle text
- Multi-line subtitles split into separate cues with 1ms offset times and different line: positions (e.g., line:77% for top, line:84% for bottom)
Added detection and sanitization functions:
- has_webvtt_cue_identifiers(): detects cue identifiers before timing
- sanitize_webvtt_cue_identifiers(): removes problematic cue identifiers
- has_overlapping_webvtt_cues(): detects overlapping cues needing merge
- merge_overlapping_webvtt_cues(): merges cues sorted by line position
The previous regex only matched negative size values when they were the entire quoted attribute (e.g., "-5%"). This failed for multi-value attributes like tts:extent="-5% 7.5%" causing pycaption parse errors.
The new pattern matches negative values anywhere in the text and preserves the unit during replacement.
Closes#47
Add preserve_formatting config option to prevent automatic subtitle processing that strips formatting tags and styling. When enabled (default: true), WebVTT files skip pycaption read/write cycle to preserve tags like <i>, <b>, positioning, and other formatting.
