Description
libavcodec/htmlsubtitles.c has a parser for <html> tags using angled brackets, but it ignores HTML escapes like < and &. This means there's no way to put an HTML tag in a subtitle format like SubRip, because < is passed as is, and <tags> are not passed if they are not recognized.
For context WebVTT's parser does support < (in compliance with spec), but SubRip cannot because there's no way to escape a < using the current decoder/parser.
