+====== Style guide ======
+**In short:** \\
+**Control chars** – ()[]\*\* –: fewer are better \\
+**Content:** if applicable word for word \\
+These guidelines are the result of long discussions that included a sign language interpreter who also does subtitles and also a deaf person using subtitles. Also, I used this (german): https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/service/untertitel/Untertitel-Standards,untertitelstandards102.html
+The following was our common result:
+=== In dialogs the person speaking has to be indicated ===
+Full names are only useful when first using them. After that please use a form of abbreviation. If you use first names or family names is up to you (different might be appropriate from talk to talk), but the prinpipal is always: the shorter the better!
+== example: ==
+> Constanze Kurz: welcome! \\
+> *applause* \\
+> Kurz: nice to have you here! \\
+> Frank Rieger: also a warm welcome from me, too! \\
+> Rieger: … \\
+== example: (only first/nick names are known) ==
+> Laura: Hi Alice! Hi Bob! \\
+> B: Hi Laura, how're you? \\
+> A: Hi! \\
+> L: I'm fine, thanks! \\
+=== No parenthesis around names! ===
+=== dialog between only two people can be further simplified ===
+== example: ==
+> - Hey, everything's fine? \\
+> - yes, how about you? \\
+> - all done and dusted \\
+> - then we'll see each other tomorrow!
+=== cuttings are allowed, but should be avoided ===
+"Ehm"s, stumbling or words that were said twice can be omitted, but not if they're important (e.g. for a joke)
+=== Subtitles are in direct speech, but no quotation marks, except there's really a quote ===
+=== numbers should be written in digits, because that's shorter. If readability is affected, you can write numbers in words (mostly only with numbers from one to twelve) ===
+=== Sounds are marked with "*". ===
+Unfortunately there is a bug in amara which uses the * for italic. Just ignore it we will fix that with a script in the textfiles.
+== Examples: ==
+> *applause* \\
+> &#42;laughing&#42; \\
+> *loud laughing* \\
+> *boo* \\
+> *disquietness* \\
+> *phone ringing* \\
+=== explicit linebreaks in amara can be created with [Shift]+[Return] ===
+== example: ==
+> Well, yes, thank you very much for your talk (linebreak)
+> *standing ovation*
+=== Q&A ===
+in the Q&A part you can do it like that. Name at first appearence the Angel with "Angel:" or "XY Angel" if you want to specify the type of angel, questions with "Question:", answers as "Answer:". Later abbreviate to eather only the type of angel, e.g. "Audio:", "Signal:", "Herald:" or "Angel:" and abbreviate question and answer to "Q:" and "A:" for shortness.
+== example: ==
+> Herald Angel: We welcome to this talk Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman,  \\
+> *raging applause* \\
+> Herald: … Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. \\
+> *cautios applause* \\
+> Herald: And now have fun with the talk: "How does good software look like?" \\
+> Torvalds: Good evening \\
+> *applause* \\
+> Stallmann: Evening \\
+> *applause* \\
+> Gates: Good evening \\
+> *applause* \\
+> Jobs: Evening \\
+> *applause* \\
+> Stallman: Software must be free. That's the highest principle! \\
+> Gates: And how does the programmer make a living of it? Air and love? \\
+> Torvalds: My software is used on a huge bunch of devices and programmers are paid to develop that software, when it should be used on new devices. \\
+> Jobs: And what about the UI design? Only if it looks good software is also used! \\
+> Stallman: I want to use the CLI! \\
+> Gates: To send users back to the hell of text, after they got to know graphical user interfaces … \\
+> Jobs: … which YOU stole from US! There's still a court decision pending! \\
+> Stallman: Good concepts are always copied and further developed, just like with the code. \\
+> Torvalds: That reminds me of a specific line of code that was actually copied from Linux to Windows: "if OPEN BRACKET …
+=== If you have a talk which is totally mixed in two or more languages, then use the language "Klingon" in amara (seriously) ===
+Afterwards there can be a whole translation to english and german and whatever.
