Add Ruby to text
In Japanese, Ruby (also known as furigana ) is normally used to show the kanji yomi in hiragana. In Simplified
Chinese, Ruby is called Pinyin, while in Traditional Chinese, Ruby is called Chuyin. InDesign provides full support to
Japanese Ruby and limited support to Chinese Pinyin or Chuyin. You can adjust Ruby settings to specify Ruby
location, size, or color. Furthermore, when the ruby is longer than the parent you can specify the ruby distribution.
You can also apply tate-chu-yoko to Ruby.
Ruby on horizontal text (left), and ruby to the right of vertical text (right)
When the parent to which you want to attach ruby covers two lines, the ruby will follow when the parent moves to
the next line.
