For review: Rules for Simple Placement of Japanese Ruby
In preparation for publication as a Working Group Note, we are seeking wide review of the document Rules for Simple Placement of Japanese Ruby. We are looking for comments by Friday 26 July.
The Japanese layout requirements document describes some complex aspects of ruby handling, and frequently offers alternative possible approaches. This document provides a single, simple set of rules for placement of Ruby text in Japanese typography which can be used as a minimal baseline by implementers and spec developers.
Please send any comments as github issues.
New First Public Working Draft: Rules for Simple Placement of Japanese Ruby
The Internationalization Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of Rules for Simple Placement of Japanese Ruby. This document provides a simple set of rules for placement of ruby text in Japanese typography that can be used as a minimum baseline for implementers and specification writers. It was developed by the JLReq (Japanese Layout) Task Force as a companion to Requirements for Japanese Text Layout 日本語組版処理の要件(日本語版).
Ruby is the name given to the small annotations in Japanese content that are rendered alongside base text, usually to provide a pronunciation guide, but sometimes to provide other information.
