[sword-devel] Japanese Ruby Characters

[iwagn973 at students.bju.edu]

Ok, sounds good. Regarding the name, I can't tell whether the term Ruby is XHTML-only or a linguistic term as well. I figured that at least for html rendering then it should be a ruby tag since that is the latest standard, but it could very well be referred to as a gloss in other places.

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 :)
