[sword-devel] Japanese Ruby Characters

[IAN WAGNER]

I probably should have submitted this information at least 6 months ago, but I have been swamped with school, so I apologize for not posting this sooner. During my work on PocketSword, I patched osishtmlhref.cpp to output proper ruby tags, and wrote some CSS to display it properly in browsers that do not yet support ruby tags (which is pretty much all of them for the moment). Below I have pasted the unified diff and my CSS stylesheet. I hope this is useful to everyone :)
