Cue Text

WebVTT chapter title text is syntactically a subset of WebVTT cue text, and WebVTT cue text is syntactically a subset of WebVTT metadata text. Conformance checkers, when validating WebVTT files, may offer to restrict all cues to only having WebVTT chapter title text or WebVTT cue text as their cue payload; WebVTT metadata text cues are only useful for scripted applications (using the metadata text track kind).

A WebVTT file whose cues all have a cue payload that is WebVTT chapter title text is said to be a WebVTT file using chapter title text.

A WebVTT file whose cues all have a cue payload that is WebVTT cue text is said to be a WebVTT file using cue text. By definition, any file that is a WebVTT file using chapter title text is also a WebVTT file using cue text.
