Format/Ruby only for Asian languages ?
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:04:03 UTC
Format/Ruby is only for Asian languages (Options/Language settings/Languages/Asian language support enabled) ? Why not let this option available for any languages ? Ruby : most used in japanese books, little characters for pronunciation, near of chinese characters, - little characters at the top of the chinese character if the text is written horizontally. - little characters at the right of the chinese character if the text is written vertically. See http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/ or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_characters

You have my vote. This would be very nice. (Btw, in MS Word you can create ruby everytime) When asian language support is disabled, already existing ruby in the document are shown anyway. So it would be easy to remove the line which is hiding the menu entry... Maybee one developer could do this?
Sorry for killing CC :( I've entered my user name into "Add CC:" and pressed enter. I don't know why the other adresses are killed???
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
Ruby is actually a "two-line interlinear text" if you didn't realize. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlinear_gloss http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_text I think that the option should be renamed to "two-line interlinear annotation" & be available to all languages even if CJK is disabled. Do you see how these are similar altho that the ruby text is generally limited to two lines. I would like a feature to extend "two-line Interlinear Text" function to allow multiple rubies above & below the main text at the same time, thus eliminating quirks of using tables when composing interlinear text. Initially for starters: Implement a "three-line Interlinear Text" where two rubies (one above, one below) can appear at same time on a piece of text. Using an example that appears on payment cards: EXPIRY DATE <- Upper ruby 01 / 12 <- Main text MONTH YEAR <- Lower ruby
Please attach real life example.
