+====== 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: ==
+<file plain>
+Constanze Kurz: welcome!
+*applause*
+Kurz: nice to have you here!
+Frank Rieger: also a warm welcome from me, too!
+Rieger: …
+</file>
+== example: (only first/nick names are known) ==
+<file plain>
+Laura: Hi Alice! Hi Bob!
+B: Hi Laura, how're you?
+A: Hi!
+L: I'm fine, thanks!
+</file>
+=== No parenthesis around names! ===
+=== dialog between only two people can be further simplified ===
+== example: ==
+<file plain>
+- Hey, everything's fine?
+- yes, how about you?
+- all done and dusted
+- then we'll see each other tomorrow!
+</file>
+=== 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: ==
+<file plain>
+*applause*
+*laughing*
+*loud laughing*
+*boo*
+*disquietness*
+*phone ringing*
+</file>
+=== explicit linebreaks in amara can be created with [Shift]+[Return] ===
+== example: ==
+<file plain>
+Well, yes, thank you very much for your talk (linebreak)
+*standing ovation*
+</file>
+=== 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: ==
+<file plain>
+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.
