Table Of Contents
For example, if you select two base text characters that are associated with three rubi text
characters, and you want only the first rubi text character to be placed over the first base
text character and the other two to be placed over the second base character, insert a
backslash between the first and second rubi text characters. Backslashes correspond with
the spaces between base text characters, so you can place as many rubi text characters
between backslashes as you want.
Backslashes correspond with the space between base text characters
Rubi base alignment options
You can apply Base Alignment options only when rubi text overhangs the base text.
Otherwise, Rubi Alignment options are applied. The Base Alignment options are:
None: No base text alignment is applied.
Left: Aligns base text with the left side of rubi text in a horizontal story.
Centered: Aligns base text under or next to rubi text so that rubi text has equal overhang
on each side of the base text.
Right: Aligns base text with the right side of rubi text in a horizontal story.
Top: Aligns base text with the top of rubi text in a vertical story.
Bottom: Aligns base text with the bottom of rubi text in a vertical story.
Justified: Centers base text under or next to rubi text as shown in the diagram below.
(Note that this diagram assumes that Rubi Overhang is set to None. If rubi text is set to
overhang by a particular amount, the rubi characters extend beyond the left and right
edges of the base character sequence by that amount, and the base characters are justified
in the remaining space.)
