Using translate_document with SRT format leads to Internal Server Error or broken HTML

[Tomac1]

When I send SRT document for translation with translate_document method and I have encountered two problems:

1. If SRT is missing a paired html tag, for example <i>, then Internal server error is returned. ** I would expect a more understandable error message.** It takes a long time to figure out what the error is. Example:

504
10:19:30,427 --> 10:19:33,028
It's a work in progress,
but here it goes.</i>

2. If I send this title for translation:

504
10:19:30,427 --> 10:19:33,028
<i>It's a work in progress,
but here it goes.</i>

then DeepL will add additional tags to the end and beginning of the lines. That would be fine, but unfortunately it will also remove important line breaks and merge two sentences into one! Example:

504
10:19:30,427 --> 10:19:33,028
<i>It's a work in progress,</i><i>but here it goes.</i>

We do not want automatic HTML correction. Not under these circumstances!

3. SRT is not usable for documents. I am currently solving this by using the TXT format for SRT (sad).
