[sword-devel] Japanese Ruby Characters

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Since we're still looking into the clucene issues before release, we can
get this into 1.6.1, but I'd like feedback from the projects using
osishtmlhref.

Does this patch mess things up for anyone? I doubt many people were
using the previous "(<gloss>)" display for anything and were simply
never turning on gloss support with:

mgr->setGlobalOption("Ruby", "On");

Having a look at this, is "Ruby" the best term for us to use for gloss
support? i.e. Is "ruby" a linguistics term or an XHTML term?

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 :)
