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.”
Auto Align At Line Edges: Check this box to automatically align rubi text with •
the border of a text box when the rubi text overhangs the base text and touches
the edge of the text box.
Character Attributes tab
The Character Attributes tab of the Rubi dialog box lets you control rubi text
formatting.
