-DCP-o-matic will extract subtitles from the content, if present, and
-they can be ‘burnt into’ the DCP (that is, they are
-included in the image and not overlaid by the projector) or included
-as a separate subtitle ‘asset’ within your DCP (in which
-case the projector overlays them onto the image on playback). The
-difference between these two arrangements is illustrated by <xref

+Image subtitles are represented using a set of bitmaps, as commonly

+With text subtitles you have the choice to either burn-in or include

+(in which case the projector overlays them onto the image on
+playback). The difference between burn-in and overlay is
