If the author wants "-->" in cue data, then it needs to be escaped as "--&gt;". I also suggest we do this in the "headers" part of the file, since I expect it will be roughly equally common to forget a newline there as between cues. 58953 2 ian 2011-10-25 23:20:46 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
