|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Text</li>
|
|
<li>Line</li>
|
|
<li>Syntax</li>

|
|
<h2><a id="introduction">2. Introduction</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a id="conventions">2.1 Document conventions</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are a number of illustrations in this document for which the following
|
|
legend is used:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><img alt="Symbolic wide-cell glyph representation" class="example"
|
|
width="39" height="39" src="images/fullwidth.gif" /> - wide-cell glyph (e.g. Han)
|
|
which is the <i>n</i>-th character in the text run, they may also appear as
|
|
half size boxes when used as annotations.<br />
|
|
<img alt="Symbolic narrow-cell glyph representation" class="example"
|
|
width="19" height="39" src="images/halfwidth.gif" /> - narrow-cell glyph (e.g. Roman)
|
|
which is the <i>n</i>-th glyph in the text run.<br />
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Many typographical properties in East Asian typography depend on the fact
|
|
that a character is typically rendered as either a wide or narrow character. All
|
|
characters described by the Unicode Standard <a href="#UNICODE">[UNICODE]</a> can be categorized by a
|
|
width property. This is covered by the Unicode Standard Annex
|
|
<a href="#UAX11">[UAX#11]</a>. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The orientation which the above symbols assume in the diagrams corresponds
|
|
to the orientation that the glyphs they represent are intended to assume when
|
|
rendered by the user agent. Spacing between these characters in the diagrams is
|
|
usually symbolic, unless intentionally changed to make a point.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Finally, in this document, requirements are expressed using the key words
|
|
"MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL" and "SHALL NOT". Recommendations are
|
|
expressed using the key words "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT" and "RECOMMENDED". "MAY"
|
|
and "OPTIONAL" are used to indicate optional features or behavior. These
|
|
keywords are used in accordance with <a href="#rfc2119">[RFC 2119]</a>. For
|
|
legibility these keywords are used in lowercase form.</p>
|

|
|
<h3><a id="ruby-def">2.2 What is ruby?</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>"Ruby" is the commonly used name for a run of text that appears in the
|
|
immediate vicinity of another run of text, referred to as the "base", and
|
|
serves as an annotation or a pronunciation guide associated with that run of
|
|
text. Ruby, as used in Japanese, is described in JIS X-4051 [<a
|
|
href="#jis4051">JIS4051</a>] (in Japanese) and in Requirements for Japanese Text Layout [<a href="#jlreq">JLREQ</a>] (in English and Japanese)]. The ruby structure and the XHTML markup to represent it
|
|
is described in the Ruby Annotation [<a href="#ruby">RUBY</a>] specification. This
|
|
section describes the CSS properties relevant to ruby. The following figures
|
|
show two examples of Ruby.</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="figure">

|
|
<p><strong>Figure 2.2.2</strong>: Complex ruby with annotation text before and after
|
|
the base characters</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>In the first example, a single annotation is used to annotate the base
|
|
sequence. In Japanese typography, this simple case is sometimes called "<span lang="ja">taigo</span> ruby" or group-ruby (per-word ruby).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In the second example, multiple annotations are attached to a base
|
|
sequence, the hiragana characters on top refer to the pronunciation of each of the
|
|
base Kanji characters (annotated in a <a href="#g-monoruby">mono-ruby</a> fashion), while the words 'Keio'
|
|
and 'University' on the bottom are
|
|
annotations describing the English translation of respectively the first four
|
|
and the last two Kanji characters
|
|
of the base. To allow correct association between the hiragana characters and
|
|
their corresponding Kanji base characters, the spacing between these Kanji
|
|
characters may be adjusted (this happens around the fourth Kanji character in the
|
|
figure 2.2.2 above).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="Note"><span class="note-label">Note:</span> To avoid variable spacing between the Kanji
|
|
characters in the example above the hiragana annotations can also be created as
|
|
a simple annotation ruby.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The two examples correspond respectively to two types of ruby: simple ruby using simple ruby markup and complex ruby using complex ruby
|
|
markup.</p>

<h2><a id="css-model">3. The CSS ruby model</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="display">3.1 Ruby specific 'display' property values</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The CSS ruby model is based on the W3C Ruby Annotation Recommendation
|
|
[<a href="#ruby">RUBY</a>], which is consistent with the XHTML Modularization
|
|
Framework [<a href="#xhtml-mod">XHTMLMOD</a>]. The Recommendation specifies the ruby structure in a way
|
|
to closely parallel
|
|
the visual layout of the ruby element. In this model, a ruby consists of one
|
|
or more base elements associated with one or more annotation elements.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The CSS model does not require that the document language include elements
|
|
that correspond to each of these components. For document languages (such as
|
|
XML applications) that do not have pre-defined ruby elements, authors must map
|
|
document language elements to ruby elements; this is done with the 'display'
|
|
property. The following 'display' values assign ruby semantics to an arbitrary
|
|
element:</p>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><strong>ruby</strong> (in XHTML: ruby)</dt>
|
|
<dd>Specifies that an element defines a ruby structure.</dd>
|
|
<dt><strong>ruby-base</strong> (in XHTML: rb)</dt>
|
|
<dd>Specifies that an element defines a ruby base.</dd>
|
|
<dt><strong>ruby-text</strong> (in XHTML: rt)</dt>
|
|
<dd>Specifies that an element defines a ruby text.</dd>
|
|
<dt><strong>ruby-base-container</strong> (in XHTML: rbc)</dt>
|
|
<dd>Specifies that an element contains one or more ruby base.</dd>
|
|
<dt><strong>ruby-text-container</strong> (in XHTML: rtc)</dt>
|
|
<dd>Specifies that an element contains one or more ruby text.</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p class="issue"><span class="issuehead">Issue</span> I18n WG proposes that there should be a display value rp also, to allow XML-based formats to associate rp behaviour with elements. See <a href="http://www.w3.org/Search/Mail/Public/advanced_search?keywords=&hdr-1-name=subject&hdr-1-query=[CSS3+Ruby]%20display:+rp+value&hdr-2-name=from&hdr-2-query=&hdr-3-name=message-id&hdr-3-query=&index-grp=Member__FULL+Public__FULL&index-type=t&type-index=public-i18n-core%40w3.org&resultsperpage=20&sortby=date">thread</a>.</p>

|
|
|
<p>The <a
|
|
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/#ruby"><samp>rbspan</samp></a> attribute should
|
|
also be used by XML applications to allow annotation spanning; but in addition, the
|
|
'<a href="#ruby-span">ruby-span</a>' property must be used by those applications to indicate to the user agent the number of
|
|
ruby base elements to be spanned.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a id="box-model">3.2 Ruby box model</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p class="issue"><span class="issuehead">Issue</span> The spec needs to address anonymous box generation rules (and to make them compatible with HTML5 ruby markup).</p>
|
|
<p>In the following description, the elements specified by Ruby
|
|
Annotation [<a href="#ruby">RUBY</a>] are used to describe the box model. As mentioned
|
|
earlier, a user agent can obtain the same results by using the Ruby specific 'display'
|
|
property values. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For a user agent that supports the ruby markup, the ruby structure consists of three or more
|
|
boxes. The outermost container is the <a
|
|
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/#ruby"><samp>ruby</samp></a> element itself.
|
|
In the simple case, it is a container for two non-overlapping boxes: the ruby
|
|
text box (<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/#rt"><samp>rt</samp></a> element)
|
|
and the ruby base box (<a
|
|
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/#rb"><samp>rb</samp></a> element). The
|
|
positioning of these two boxes relative to each other is controlled by the <a
|
|
href="#rubypos">'ruby-position'</a> property.</p>

|
|
<p>In the case of complex ruby, the ruby element is a container for two or
|
|
three non-overlapping boxes: one ruby base collection (<a
|
|
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/#rbc"><samp>rbc</samp></a> element), and one
|
|
or two ruby text collections (<a
|
|
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/#rtc"><samp>rtc</samp></a> element). The
|
|
<samp>rbc</samp> element is itself a container for one or several ruby base
|
|
box (<samp>rb</samp> element), while each <samp>rtc</samp> element is a
|
|
container for one or several ruby text box (rt element). The position of the
|
|
<samp>rtc</samp> element in relation to the related <samp>rbc</samp> element
|
|
is controlled by the <a href="#rubypos">'ruby-position'</a> property. The two

following figures show examples of these complex ruby.</p>

<p>In the example above, the ruby text after (below) the ruby bases contains two <samp>rt</samp> elements with the first one
|

|
<p>The width of the ruby box is by default determined by its widest child
|
|
element, whose width in turn is determined by its content. The width of all direct
|
|
children of the <samp>ruby</samp> element is the width of the widest children. In this respect, the ruby
|
|
box is much like a two or three row <samp>table</samp> element, with the
|
|
following exceptions:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>the ruby box is an inline element, like an image, even though it itself,
|
|
like a table, is a container of other boxes</li>
|
|
<li>the equivalent of the cells: the <samp>rb</samp> element and the
|
|
<samp>rt</samp> text element can only contain inline-level elements.</li>
|
|
<li>the content of each 'cell' is always measured at its maximum width</li>
|
|
<li>unlike a table, a ruby element doesn't have to fit in a line, the ruby
|
|
box may be split into several boxes at line boundary, depending of the
|
|
spanning of the ruby texts. This is however only possible for the complex
|
|
ruby and can only happen at the boundary of non spanning elements.</li>
|
|
<li>both the ruby text and the ruby base boxes may overlap with adjacent
|
|
text (outside of the ruby element) if an appropriate <a
|
|
href="#rubyover">'ruby-overhang'</a> parameter is set via CSS. Note
|
|
however that the actual content of the ruby base cannot overlap with that
|
|
adjacent text. The distribution of the content of the ruby base within the
|
|
ruby base box is controlled by the <a href="#rubyalign">'ruby-align'</a>
|
|
property.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the ruby text is not allowed to overhang, then the ruby behaves like a
|
|
traditional box, i.e. only its contents are rendered within its boundaries and
|
|
adjacent elements do not cross the box boundary:</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>However, if ruby text is allowed to overhang adjacent elements and it
|
|
happens to be wider than its base, then the adjacent content is partially
|
|
rendered within the area of the ruby base box, while the ruby text may be

|
partially overlapping with the upper blank parts of the adjacent content:</p>

|
<p>The ruby text related to a ruby base can never overhang another ruby
|
|
base.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The alignment of the contents of the base or the ruby text is not affected
|
|
by the overhanging behavior. The alignment is achieved the same way regardless
|
|
of the overhang behavior setting and it is computed before the space available
|
|
for overlap is determined. It is controlled by the <a
|
|
href="#rubyalign">'ruby-align'</a> property.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The exact circumstances in which the ruby text will overhang other
|
|
elements, and to what degree it will do so, will be controlled by the <a
|
|
href="#rubyover">'ruby-overhang'</a> property.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This entire logic applies the same way in vertical ideographic layout, only

the dimension in which it works in such a layout is vertical, instead of

horizontal.</p>

<h3><a id="ruby-line-height">3.3 Ruby box and line stacking</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The interaction of the ruby box and line stacking is controlled by the
|
|
'line-stacking-ruby' property described in the CSS3 Line Module. That property
|
|
takes two values: 'include-ruby' and 'exclude-ruby. Depending on the property
|
|
value, the ruby box is considered or excluded for line stacking. Even if the
|
|
ruby box is considered for line stacking, some values of the
|
|
'line-stacking-strategy' property (also described in the CSS3 Line module) can
|
|
still create occurrences where a the ruby box will eventually be ignored (e.g.
|
|
case where the 'line-stacking-strategy' value is 'block-line-height').</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In the following figure, each line box is shown with leading space
|
|
distributed before and after the two text segments ('Previous line' and 'Ruby
|
|
base'); the dotted lines show the line box for each line. The
|
|
'line-stacking-ruby' property is set to 'exclude-ruby'. The achieved effect is
|
|
that the ruby box does not affect the line to line spacing. It is however the
|
|
responsibility of the style author to avoid 'bleeding' effects between the ruby
|
|
text and the surrounding text of images.</p>
|

<p>In the following figure, the line boxes have no extra leading space. The
|
|
'line-stacking-ruby' property is set to 'include-ruby' and the
|
|
'line-stacking-strategy' property is set to a value where inline boxes are
|
|
considered for line stacking. In this case, the line box with
|
|
the ruby text is affected and has its 'stack-height' increased by the amount
|
|
necessary to fit the ruby text.</p>

computed line-height of the largest ruby element within the block.</p>

<h3><a id="ruby-line-breaking">3.4 Ruby box and line breaking</a></h3>

relevant only to the scenario where the ruby text is longer than the

|
<p>For a complex ruby with spanning elements, one additional consideration is
|
|
required. If the spanning element spans multiple 'rows' (other rbc or rtc
|
|
elements), and the ruby alignment requires space distribution among the
|
|
'spanned' elements, a ratio must be determined among the 'columns' of spanned
|
|
elements. This ratio is computed by taking into consideration the widest
|
|
element within each column.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In the context of this property, the 'left' and 'right' values are
|
|
synonymous with the 'start' and 'end' values respectively, i.e. their meaning
|
|
is relative according to the text layout flow. Most of the other CSS
|
|
properties interpret 'left' and 'right' on an 'absolute' term.</p>

<p>This property determines whether, and on which side, ruby text is allowed
|
|
to partially overhang any adjacent text in addition to its own base, when the
|
|
ruby text is wider than the ruby base. Note that ruby text is never allowed to
|
|
overhang glyphs belonging to another ruby base. <span class="issue"><span class="issuehead">Issue</span> This rule must be broken if we are to allow support for jukugo ruby.</span> Also the user agent is free to assume
|
|
a maximum amount by which ruby text may overhang adjacent text. The user agent may use
|
|
the [<a href="#jis4051">JIS4051</a>] recommendation of using one ruby text character
|
|
length as the maximum overhang length. Detailed rules for how ruby text can overhang adjacent characters for Japanese are described by [<a href="#jlreq">JLREQ</a>].</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Possible values:</p>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><strong>auto</strong></dt>
|
|
<dd>The ruby text can overhang text adjacent to the base on either side. [<a href="#jlreq">JLREQ</a>] and [<a href="#jis4051">JIS4051</a>] specify the categories of characters that
|
|
ruby text can overhang. The user agent is free to follow those recommendations or specify its own classes of
|
|
characters to overhang. This is the initial value.
