17 kateenc creates Kate streams from input files (SubRip SRT subtitles,
18 LRC lyrics, and libkate's custom description language). When saved to
19 an Ogg stream (the default behavior), a Kate stream may then be merged
20 with other Ogg streams (eg, a Theora video) using the oggz tools.

24 -h Show command line help.
25
26 -V Show version information.
27
28 -M Allow simple HTML-like markup in SRT files. If this parameter is
29 used, strings such as "<i>" will be interpreted to mean italics,
30 rather than appear as such. Note that various players interpret
31 a slightly different set of HTML tags, and some do not.
32
33 -o outfile
34 Write the output Kate stream to the given file name (writes to
35 stdout if not specified).
36
37 -l language
38 Sets the language for the stream (default is the language speci‐
39 fied in the input, or none).
40
41 -c category
42 Sets the category for the stream (default is the category speci‐
43 fied in the input, or none).
44
45 -s serial
46 Sets the serial number for the output Kate stream (does not
47 apply to raw streams).
48
49 -C tag=value
50 Adds a comment to encode into the output Kate stream. The com‐
51 ment must be of the form tag=value, and comply with the Vorbis
52 comment rules (eg, tag is composed of a particular subset of
53 ASCII characters, and value is valid UTF-8). Note that you might
54 have to escape or quote the comment for it to be seen as a sin‐
55 gle command line parameter.
56
57 -t filetype
58 Specifies the type of the input (srt, lrc, kate)
59
60 -R threshold
61 Use repeat packets, with the given threshold (in seconds). Data
62 packets will be repeated at intervals of roughly threshold sec‐
63 onds, while active.
64
65 -K threshold
66 Use keepalive packets, with the given threshold (in seconds).
67 Keepalive packets will be emitted when no other packet has been
68 emitted for roughly threshold seconds.

72 Create a Kate stream for Welsh subtitles from a SubRip file:
