never be displayed. If the end time is earlier than the start time, the renderer \should\ issue a warning,
|

but this is not considered a fatal syntax error and it \should\ render the remaining lines regardless of the issue.

If the end time is earlier than the start time, it should for rendering purposes be considered to be equal to

\item Style: The name of the default style used for this line. See the [Style] section below. If left blank,

\item User: This field is used by the program to store program-specific data in each line. Renderers

\should\ ignore this (but \may\ use it for application-specific extension features). This field \should\

be left empty if it's not used. Note that whatever data is stored here \mustnot\ contain any commas!

It is suggested that text in the User field is encoded with the following scheme: The characters
|
||||
0x00 to 0x1F (control codes), 0x23 (number sign), 0x2C (comma), 0x3A (colon) and 0x7C (pipe)
|
||||
are replaced with a number sign (0x23) followed by the hexadecimal code for the character, for example
|
||||
a comma is replaced with ``\#2C''. This scheme allows the field to contain several sub-fields separated
|
||||
with pipe characters, optionally using a ``Name:Value'' format.
|
||||
\item Content: The actual text of the line. This contains actual text and override tags. See the section

on override tags for more information.
