Update of /cvsroot/mplayer/main/DOCS/man/en In directory mail:/var2/tmp/cvs-serv17184/DOCS/man/en
Modified Files: mplayer.1 Log Message: Clarify subtitle alignment behavior.
-Align at top (original behavior). +Align subtitle top edge (original behavior).
I'm not sure this is any clearer, actually. While the old phrasing would indeed have given me an inaccurate idea of what was meant, the current phrasing gives me no usable information at all; it says that pressing the key will align the subtitle top edge, but it does not say *what* it will align that edge to. I'm not entirely satiefied with it, but perhaps "Align subtitles to the top edge of their position" or the like might be clear (if not completely smooth English)? -- The Wanderer Warning: Simply because I argue an issue does not mean I agree with any side of it. Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.

How about "Treats -subpos as the position of the top edge of the subtitle." --Loren Merritt

Except perhaps for the verb tense, I think that might work. If no one has spoken up by the first time I get back to this this evening, I'll commit it. -- The Wanderer Warning: Simply because I argue an issue does not mean I agree with any side of it. Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.

Hmm, I think that the problem here is that the diff does not show the whole description: -subalign <0-2> (OSD only) Specify which edge of the subtitles should be aligned at the height given by -subpos. 0 Align subtitle top edge (original behavior). 1 Align subtitle center. 2 Align subtitle bottom edge (default). Does this really fail to be clear? Diego

No, I suppose it doesn't. Subject dropped, then. -- The Wanderer Warning: Simply because I argue an issue does not mean I agree with any side of it. Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.
