'''WebVTT''' (Web Video Text Tracks) is a [[World Wide Web Consortium]] (W3C) standard for displaying [[timed text]] in connection with the [[HTML5]] <code>&lt;track&gt;</code> element. The early drafts of its specification were written by [[WHATWG]] in 2010, after discussions about what caption format should be supported by HTML5, theHTML5—the main options being the relatively mature, [[XML]]-based [[Timed Text Markup Language]] (TTML) or an entirely new but more lightweight standard based on the widely-used [[SubRip]] format. The final decision was for the new standard, initially called WebSRT (Web Subtitle Resource Tracks).<ref>{{cite web
