Text tab
The Text tab of the Rubi dialog box lets you control the following options:
Rubi Text: Use this field to specify the rubi text to be applied to the selected base text.
When you display the Rubi dialog box for a new rubi, the application automatically
fills this field with a phonetic reading of the base text from the input method editor
(IME). This feature works for languages for which IME dictionaries are available (as of
this writing, Chinese and Japanese only).
Get Rubi: Use this button to refresh the content of the Rubi Text field from the IME.
Base Text: This field displays the selected base text.
Rubi Alignment: Use this drop-down menu to control how non-overhanging rubi
text aligns with the base text. For more information, see "Rubi alignment options."
Rubi Placement: Use this drop-down menu to specify whether rubi text displays above
or below the base text (in a horizontal story) or to the left of or right of the base text
(in a vertical story).
Relative Size: Use this field to specify the size of the rubi text compared to the base
text.
Offset: Use this field to control how far the rubi text is offset from the base text.
Overhang Rubi: Use this field to control how far the rubi text can overhang base text
that is unrelated to the rubi text. For more information, see "Rubi overhang options."
Note that this feature is disabled when Base Alignment is set to None.
Base Alignment: Use this field to control how base text aligns with overhanging rubi
text. For more information, see "Rubi base alignment options."
