                               <!-- It is assumed here that  
        
                                     1. all subtitle lines in a TextField are of the same height, either DoubleHeight or SingleHeight 
        
                                     2. every newline-Element adds a new subtitle row --> 
        
                               <xsl:when test="count(child::*[name(.) = 'DoubleHeight']) &gt; 0"> 
        
                                   <xsl:value-of select="2 * (1 + count(child::*[name(.) = 'newline']))"/> 
        
                               </xsl:when>

The calculation of how many lines a subtitle covers does not consider that in some subtitle software, two consecutive DoubleHeight text lines in STL are separated by two newline control codes instead of one. Therefore a multi-line subtitle is pushed by too few calculated br elements to an incorrect Teletext line position
