This file contains functions for make ASS-format subtitle files based on the generated alignment.
ASS files can be generated highlighting token-level alignments or word-level alignments.
In both cases, 'segment' boundaries will be used to determine which parts of the text will appear
at the same time. 
For the token-level ASS files, the text will be highlighted token-by-token, with the timings determined 
by the NFA alignments. 
For the word-level ASS files, the text will be highlighted word-by-word, with the timings determined
by the NFA alignemtns.
