VirtualDub Subtitler Plugin - Line Breaks

I just spent half an hour to fix an error which wasn't one. So, to share my pain and solution, here's the issue:

I was having troubles with line-breaks with the subtitler plug-in for VirtualDub by Avery Lee. I had written subtitles (ssa) with karaoke in them.
To manually break lines, I did something like:

{\k10}Foo{\k12}bar.{\k10}\NLorem{\k12}Ipsum.

This looks good in Aegisub, but the subtitler plugin wouldn't parse the line breaks.


And this is correct. Line breaks at the beginning of a line don't make sense. So to fix the issue, just use this instead:

{\k10}Foo{\k12}bar.\N{\k10}Lorem{\k12}Ipsum.
