-== Overview ==
-'''WEBVTT: Web Video Text Tracks''' is a concerted effort to bring subtitles that run natively on the browser to the web. WEBVTT functions by attaching an external WEBVTT file to the <video> element via the <track> element like so:
-<pre>
-&lt;video src="video.webm"&gt;
-  &lt;track src="sample.webvtt"&gt;
-&lt;/video&gt;
-</pre>
-Where sample.vtt is an external WEBVTT file marked up like so:
-<pre>
-WEBVTT
-:01.000 --> 00:03.000
-Hey!
-:03.000 --> 00:05.000
-This is a sample!
-</pre>
-If you feel like some self-punishment you can check out more about how it works by reading the [http://dev.w3.org/html5/webvtt/ WEBVTT spec] as well as the [http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/the-video-element.html#the-track-element HTML5 Track Element spec].
-== Status ==
-Currently you can view basic subtitles in Mozilla's Nightly builds. The basic WEBVTT tags such as &lt;b&gt;, &lt;u&gt;, and &lt;i&gt; are working.
-== Get Involved ==
-There are many ways you can help out Mozilla's implementation of WEBVTT. You can help by:
-* Working on the standalone [https://github.com/mozilla/webvtt libwebvtt parser].
-* Working on the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=webvtt implementation of the browser spec and integration of the libwebvtt parser into Gecko].
