**ESL** is an open-source initiative defining a rich, human-readable subtitle format designed for expressive and dynamic text presentations. It leverages the clarity of HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) to provide a comprehensive framework for timed text, intricate styling, complex motion effects, and karaoke.

## Usage

**Read an ASS file and convert it to ESL:**

```js
import convertASStoESL from '@openanime/ass2esl';
import { readFileSync } from 'fs';

const assFile = readFileSync('example.ass', 'utf-8');
const eslContent = convertASStoESL(assFile);

console.log(eslContent); // Outputs the ESL content
```
