In that case, you guys really should work on some post-processing framework rather than subs. Even HTML-like subs probably won't be enough. VapourSynth seems to be getting more mature with every day, so it may be a good choice. Or, use Blender which will do all that you want, esp. with VapourSynth.

Right, this discussion isn't (only) about typesetting, it's about subtitle format design.
Anyway doing all this 'view' stuff additionally in video editing software requires hardsubbing and more work. I like to write some text and put my tiny script with others together for the final overlay.

I'm not sure there's any software that implements more than a tiny subset of it at this point, though. |
Many people have good ideas for new formats, but the software implementation is always the real problem. I've already started to write a
new renderer, but stopped by the effort to find a fitting to-memory-rendering library or write a complete renderer by myself.
