Meaning
A subtitle line break divides text within a cue without necessarily changing its time interval.
A practical example
Breaking a long phrase at a natural boundary can make a two-line caption easier to scan while the original cue start and end stay fixed.
What to check
A shorter line does not automatically create more reading time. Review meaning, display width and cue duration together.
