103 Module interactions</h3>
105 <p>This module extends the inline box model of CSS Level 2 [[!CSS21]]
106 to support ruby.
108 <p>None of the properties in this module apply to the <code>::first-line</code> or
109 <code>::first-letter</code> pseudo-elements.
111 <h3 id="values">
112 Values</h3>
114 <p>This specification follows the
115 <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/about.html#property-defs">CSS property
116 definition conventions</a> from [[!CSS21]]. Value types not defined in
117 this specification are defined in CSS Level 2 Revision 1 [[!CSS21]].
118 Other CSS modules may expand the definitions of these value types: for
119 example [[CSS3VAL]], when combined with this module, expands the
120 definition of the <var><length></var> value type as used in this specification.</p>
122 <p>In addition to the property-specific values listed in their definitions,
123 all properties defined in this specification also accept the
124 <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/cascade.html#value-def-inherit">inherit</a>
125 keyword as their property value. For readability it has not been repeated
126 explicitly.
128 <h3 id="conventions">
129 Document conventions</h3>
131 <p>Many typographical conventions in East Asian typography depend
132 on whether the character rendered is wide (CJK) or narrow (non-CJK).
133 There are a number of illustrations in this document
134 for which the following legend is used:
136 <dl>
137 <dt><img alt="Symbolic wide-cell glyph representation" width="39" height="39" src="images/fullwidth.gif">
138 <dd>Wide-cell glyph (e.g. Han) that is the <var>n</var>th character in the text run.
139 They are typically sized to 50% when used as annotations.
140 <dt><img alt="Symbolic narrow-cell glyph representation" width="19" height="39" src="images/halfwidth.gif">
141 <dd>Narrow-cell glyph (e.g. Roman) which is the <var>n</var>th glyph in the text run.
143 <p>The orientation which the above symbols assume in the diagrams
144 corresponds to the orientation that the glyphs they represent
145 are intended to assume when rendered by the user agent.
146 Spacing between these characters in the diagrams is incidental,
147 unless intentionally changed to make a point.
149 <h3 id="ruby-def">
150 What is ruby?</h3>
152 <p><dfn>Ruby</dfn> is the commonly-used name for a run of text
153 that appears alongside another run of text (referred to as the “base”)
154 and serves as an annotation or a pronunciation guide associated with that run of text.
156 <p>The following figures show two examples of Ruby,
157 a simple case and one with more complicated structure.
159 <div class="example">
160 <p>In this first example, a single annotation is used to annotate the base text.
161 <div class="figure">
162 <p><img src="images/licence.png"
163 alt="Example of ruby applied on top of a Japanese expression">
164 <p class="caption">Example of ruby used in Japanese (simple case)
165 </div>
166 <p>In Japanese typography, this case is sometimes called
167 <i lang="ja">taigo</i> ruby or group-ruby (per-word ruby),
168 because the annotation as a whole is associated
169 with multi-character word (as a whole).
170 </div>
172 <div class="example">
173 <p>In this second example,
174 two levels of annotations are attached to a base sequence:
175 the hiragana characters on top refer to the pronunciation of each of the base kanji characters,
176 while the words “Keio” and “University” on the bottom are annotations describing the English translation.
177 <div class="figure">
178 <p><img src="images/ruby-univ.gif"
179 alt="Example showing complex ruby with annotation text over and under the base characters">
180 <p class="caption">Complex ruby with annotation text over and under the base characters
181 </div>
182 <p>
183 <p>Notice that to allow correct association between the hiragana characters and
184 their corresponding Kanji base characters,
185 the spacing between these Kanji characters is adjusted.
186 (This happens around the fourth Kanji character in the figure above.)
187 To avoid variable spacing between the Kanji characters in the example above
188 the hiragana annotations can be styled as a <i>collapsed annotation</i>,
189 which will look more like the group-ruby example earlier.
190 However because the base-annotation pairings are recorded in the ruby structure,
191 if the text breaks across lines, the annotation characters will stay
192 correctly paired with their respective base characters.
193 </div>
195 <i>Ruby</i> formatting as used in Japanese is described in JIS X-4051 [[JIS4051]] (in Japanese)
196 and in Requirements for Japanese Text Layout [[JLREQ]] (in English and Japanese)].
197 In HTML, ruby structure and markup to represent it is described
198 in the Ruby Markup Extension specification.
199 This module describes the CSS rendering model
200 and formatting controls relevant to ruby layout of such markup.
202 <h2 id="ruby-model">
203 Ruby Formatting Model</h2>
205 <p>The CSS ruby model is based on
206 the <a href="http://darobin.github.io/html-ruby/">HTML Ruby Markup Extension</a>
207 and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/">XHTML Ruby Annotation Recommendation</a> [[RUBY]].
208 In this model, a ruby structure consists of
209 one or more <dfn>ruby base</dfn> elements representing the base (annotated) text,
210 associated with one or more levels of <dfn>ruby annotation</dfn> elements representing the annotations.
211 The structure of ruby is similar to that of a table:
212 there are “rows” (the base text level, each annotation level)
213 and “columns” (each <i>ruby base</i> and its corresponding <i>ruby annotations</i>).
215 <p>Consecutive bases and annotations are grouped together into <dfn>ruby segments</dfn>.
216 Within a <i>ruby segment</i>, a <i>ruby annotation</i> may span multiple <i>ruby bases<i>.
218 <p class="note">In HTML, a single <code><ruby></code> element may contain multiple <i>ruby segments</i>.
219 (In the XHTML Ruby model, a single <code><ruby></code> element can only contain one <i>ruby segment</i>.)
221 <h3 id="ruby-display">
222 Ruby-specific 'display' property values</h3>
224 <p>For document languages (such as XML applications) that do not have pre-defined ruby elements,
225 authors must map document language elements to ruby elements;
226 this is done with the 'display' property.
228 <table class="propdef">
229 <tr>
230 <th>Name:
231 <td>display
232 <tr>
233 <th><a href="#values">New Values</a>:
234 <td>ruby | ruby-base | ruby-text | ruby-base-container | ruby-text-container
235 </table>
237 <p>The following new 'display' values assign ruby layout roles to an arbitrary element:
239 <dl>
240 <dt>''ruby''
241 <dd>Specifies that an element generates a <dfn>ruby container box</dfn>.
242 (Corresponds to HTML/XHTML <code><ruby></code> elements.)
243 <dt>''ruby-base''
244 <dd>Specifies that an element generates a <dfn>ruby base box</dfn>.
245 (Corresponds to HTML/XHTML <code><rb></code> elements.)
246 <dt>''ruby-text''
247 <dd>Specifies that an element generates a <dfn>ruby annotation box</dfn>.
248 (Corresponds to HTML/XHTML <code><rt></code> elements.)
249 <dt>''ruby-base-container''
250 <dd>Specifies that an element generates a <dfn>ruby base container box</dfn>.
251 (Corresponds to XHTML <code><rbc></code> elements; always implied in HTML.)
252 <dt>''ruby-text-container''
253 <dd>Specifies that an element generates a <dfn>ruby annotation container box</dfn>.
254 (Corresponds to HTML/XHTML <code><ruby></code> elements.)
255 </dl>
257 <p>The CSS model does not require that the document language
258 include elements that correspond to each of these components.
259 Missing parts of the structure are implied through the anonymous box generation rules.
261 <p class="issue">The spec needs to address anonymous box generation rules (and to make them compatible with HTML5 ruby markup).
262 <p class="issue">How should box generation rules deal with ruby elements that contain block-level boxes?
263 Turn them into inline blocks? Treat them as 'display: none'? Force them to float? Something else?
265 <h3 id="box-model">
266 Ruby box model</h3>
268 <p>In the following description, the elements specified by Ruby
269 Annotation [[RUBY]] are used to describe the box model. As mentioned
270 earlier, a user agent can obtain the same results by using the Ruby specific 'display'
271 property values. </p>
273 <p>For a user agent that supports the ruby markup, the ruby structure consists of three or more
274 boxes. The outermost container is the <a
275 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/#ruby"><samp>ruby</samp></a> element itself.
276 In the simple case, it is a container for two non-overlapping boxes: the ruby
277 text box (<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/#rt"><samp>rt</samp></a> element)
278 and the ruby base box (<a
279 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/#rb"><samp>rb</samp></a> element). The
280 positioning of these two boxes relative to each other is controlled by the <a
281 href="#rubypos">'ruby-position'</a> property.</p>
283 <div class="figure">
284 <img class="example" width="223" height="93"
285 alt="Diagram of the ruby box model consisting of two boxes, one on top of the other, enclosed within a third box representing the ruby element"
286 src="images/r-box-t.gif" />
288 <p><b>Figure 3.2.1</b>: Ruby box model (simple case)</p>
289 </div>
291 <p>In the case of complex ruby, the ruby element is a container for two or
292 three non-overlapping boxes: one ruby base collection (<a
293 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/#rbc"><samp>rbc</samp></a> element), and one
294 or two ruby text collections (<a
295 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/#rtc"><samp>rtc</samp></a> element). The
296 <samp>rbc</samp> element is itself a container for one or several ruby base
297 box (<samp>rb</samp> element), while each <samp>rtc</samp> element is a
298 container for one or several ruby text box (rt element). The position of the
299 <samp>rtc</samp> element in relation to the related <samp>rbc</samp> element
300 is controlled by the <a href="#rubypos">'ruby-position'</a> property. The two
301 following figures show examples of these complex ruby.</p>
303 <div class="figure">
304 <img src="images/r-box-g.gif"

307 <p><b>Figure 3.2.2</b>: Ruby box model (complex ruby with an empty rt element
308 after)</p>
309 </div>
311 <p>In the example above, the ruby text after (below) the ruby bases contains two <samp>rt</samp> elements with the first one
312 being empty, the empty <samp>rt</samp> element corresponds to the first part
313 of the ruby base collection (the first part is identified by the first <samp>rb</samp> element
314 within the <samp> rbc</samp> element).</p>
316 <div class="figure">
317 <img src="images/r-box-h.gif"
318 alt="Diagram of a group ruby with a spanning ruby text above and partial ruby text below" width="400" height="173" />
320 <p><b>Figure 3.2.3</b>: Ruby box model (complex ruby with a spanning ruby text
321 element)</p>
322 </div>
324 <p>In the example above, the ruby text before (above) the ruby bases spans the whole ruby base collection. The
325 ruby text after (below) the ruby bases still contain two <samp>rt</samp> elements, one of
326 which is empty. The spanning behavior of <samp>rt</samp> text elements is
327 controlled by the <a
328 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/#ruby"><samp>rbspan</samp></a> attribute in a
329 way similar to the <samp>colspan</samp> attribute used for table column.</p>
331 <p class="issue"><span class="issuehead">Issue: </span> The examples above contain the term 'group ruby', which is not used elsewhere in this specification. It appears to be used in a way that is different to the use of the term in JLREQ. I propose to replace it with just 'ruby'.</p>
332 <p class="note"><span class="note-label">Note:</span> The visual description of the ruby elements does not refer
333 necessarily to the logical orders of the elements</p>
335 <p>The width of the ruby box is by default determined by its widest child
336 element, whose width in turn is determined by its content. The width of all direct
337 children of the <samp>ruby</samp> element is the width of the widest children. In this respect, the ruby
338 box is much like a two or three row <samp>table</samp> element, with the
339 following exceptions:</p>
340 <ul>
341 <li>the ruby box is an inline element, like an image, even though it itself,
342 like a table, is a container of other boxes</li>
343 <li>the equivalent of the cells: the <samp>rb</samp> element and the
344 <samp>rt</samp> text element can only contain inline-level elements.</li>
345 <li>the content of each 'cell' is always measured at its maximum width</li>
346 <li>unlike a table, a ruby element doesn't have to fit in a line, the ruby
347 box may be split into several boxes at line boundary, depending of the
348 spanning of the ruby texts. This is however only possible for the complex
349 ruby and can only happen at the boundary of non spanning elements.</li>
350 <li>both the ruby text and the ruby base boxes may overlap with adjacent
351 text (outside of the ruby element) if an appropriate <a
352 href="#rubyover">'ruby-overhang'</a> parameter is set via CSS. Note
353 however that the actual content of the ruby base cannot overlap with that
354 adjacent text. The distribution of the content of the ruby base within the
355 ruby base box is controlled by the <a href="#rubyalign">'ruby-align'</a>
356 property.</li>
357 </ul>
359 <p>If the ruby text is not allowed to overhang, then the ruby behaves like a
360 traditional box, i.e. only its contents are rendered within its boundaries and
361 adjacent elements do not cross the box boundary:</p>
363 <div class="figure">
364 <p><img class="example" width="220" height="91"
365 alt="Diagram showing the ruby boxes interacting with adjacent text"
366 src="images/ro-n.gif" /></p>
368 <p><b>Figure 3.2.4</b>: Simple ruby whose text is not allowed to overhang
369 adjacent text</p>
370 </div>
372 <p>However, if ruby text is allowed to overhang adjacent elements and it
373 happens to be wider than its base, then the adjacent content is partially
374 rendered within the area of the ruby base box, while the ruby text may be
375 partially overlapping with the upper blank parts of the adjacent content:</p>
377 <div class="figure">
378 <p><img class="example" width="177" height="91"
379 alt="Diagram showing the ruby boxes interacting with adjacent text"
380 src="images/ro-a.gif" /></p>
382 <p><b>Figure 3.2.5</b>: Simple ruby whose text is allowed to overhang adjacent
383 text</p>
384 </div>
386 <p>The ruby text related to a ruby base can never overhang another ruby
387 base.</p>
389 <p>The alignment of the contents of the base or the ruby text is not affected
390 by the overhanging behavior. The alignment is achieved the same way regardless
391 of the overhang behavior setting and it is computed before the space available
392 for overlap is determined. It is controlled by the <a
393 href="#rubyalign">'ruby-align'</a> property.</p>
395 <p>The exact circumstances in which the ruby text will overhang other
396 elements, and to what degree it will do so, will be controlled by the <a
397 href="#rubyover">'ruby-overhang'</a> property.</p>
399 <p>This entire logic applies the same way in vertical ideographic layout, only
400 the dimension in which it works in such a layout is vertical, instead of
401 horizontal.</p>
403 <p class="note"><span class="note-label">Note:</span> Because the purpose of the XHTML <samp>rp</samp> element
404 [[RUBY]] is to allow pre-existing user agents
405 to parenthesize ruby text content, an XHTML user agent should use a styling rule
406 for these elements that avoids rendering them such as <samp>rp {display:
407 none}</samp>.</p>
409 <h3 id="ruby-line-height">
410 Ruby box and line stacking</h3>
412 <p>The interaction of the ruby box and line stacking is controlled by the
413 'line-stacking-ruby' property described in the CSS3 Line Module. That property
414 takes two values: 'include-ruby' and 'exclude-ruby. Depending on the property
415 value, the ruby box is considered or excluded for line stacking. Even if the
416 ruby box is considered for line stacking, some values of the
417 'line-stacking-strategy' property (also described in the CSS3 Line module) can
418 still create occurrences where a the ruby box will eventually be ignored (e.g.
419 case where the 'line-stacking-strategy' value is 'block-line-height').</p>
421 <p>In the following figure, each line box is shown with leading space
422 distributed before and after the two text segments ('Previous line' and 'Ruby
423 base'); the dotted lines show the line box for each line. The
424 'line-stacking-ruby' property is set to 'exclude-ruby'. The achieved effect is
425 that the ruby box does not affect the line to line spacing. It is however the
426 responsibility of the style author to avoid 'bleeding' effects between the ruby
427 text and the surrounding text of images.</p>
429 <div class="figure">
430 <p>
431 <img class="example"

435 <p><b>Figure 3.3.1</b>: Excluded Ruby text</p>
436 </div>
439 <p>In the following figure, the line boxes have no extra leading space. The
440 'line-stacking-ruby' property is set to 'include-ruby' and the
441 'line-stacking-strategy' property is set to a value where inline boxes are
442 considered for line stacking. In this case, the line box with
443 the ruby text is affected and has its 'stack-height' increased by the amount
444 necessary to fit the ruby text.</p>
446 <div class="figure">
447 <p>

452 <p><b>Figure 3.3.2</b>: Ruby text increasing line height</p>
453 </div>
454 <p>This mechanism allows rendering of evenly spaced lines of text within a
455 block-level element, whether a line contains ruby or not. The authors need
456 only to set for the block-level element a line height value larger than the
457 computed line-height of the largest ruby element within the block.</p>
459 <h3 id="ruby-line-breaking">
460 Ruby box and line breaking</h3>
462 <p>When a ruby falls at the end of a line where there is not sufficient room for the entire ruby to fit on the line, the complex ruby may be broken at locations where boxes of the ruby container align. Some examples are provided below to provide more clarity.</p>
464 <p>

977 <h3 id="default-ua-ruby" class="no-num">
978 <span class="secno">A.1</span> Supporting Ruby Layout</h3>
980 <p>The following represents a default UA style sheet
981 for rendering HTML and XHTML ruby markup as ruby layout:
983 <pre>
984 <!-- -->ruby { display: ruby; }
985 <!-- -->rb { display: ruby-base; white-space: nowrap; }
986 <!-- -->rt { display: ruby-text; white-space: nowrap; font-size: 50%; }
987 <!-- -->rbc { display: ruby-base-container; }
988 <!-- -->rtc { display: ruby-text-container; }</pre>
990 <p>Additional rules for UAs supporting the relevant features of [[CSS3-TEXT-DECOR]] and [[CSS3-FONTS]]:
991 <pre>rt { font-variant-east-asian: ruby; text-emphasis: none; }</pre>
993 <p class="note">Authors should not use the above rules;
994 a UA that supports ruby layout should provide these by default.
996 <h3 id="default-inline" class="no-num">
997 <span class="secno">A.2</span> Inlining Ruby Annotations</h3>
999 <p>The following represents a sample style sheet
1000 for rendering HTML and XHTML ruby markup as inline annotations:
1002 <pre>ruby, rb, rt, rbc, rtc, rp {
1003 <!-- --> display: inline; white-space: inherit;
1004 <!-- --> font-variant-east-asian: inherit; text-emphasis: inherit; }</pre>
1006 <h3 id="default-parens" class="no-num">
1007 <span class="secno">A.3</span> Generating Parentheses</h3>
1009 <p>Unfortunately, because Selectors cannot match against text nodes,
1010 it's not possible with CSS to express rules that will automatically and correctly
1011 add parentheses to unparenthesized ruby annotations in HTML.
1012 However, an author rigorously using <code><rtc></code> elements
1013 around all annotations
1014 can use CSS Level 2 generated content [[!CSS21]] to generate parentheses:
1015 <pre>
1016 <!-- -->rtc::before { content: "("; }
1017 <!-- -->rtc::after { content: ")"; }</pre>
1019 <p>Alternatively, an author rigorously using
1020 both <code><rb></code> and <code><rt></code> elements but no <code><rtc></code> elements
1021 can use these rules instead:
1022 <pre>
1023 <!-- -->rb + rt::before { content: "("; }
1024 <!-- -->rt:last-child::after, rt + rb::before { content: ")"; }</pre>

1074 Conformance</h2>
1076 <h3 id="conventions">
1077 Document conventions</h3>
1079 <p>Conformance requirements are expressed with a combination of
1080 descriptive assertions and RFC 2119 terminology. The key words “MUST”,
1081 “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”,
1082 “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” in the normative parts of this
1083 document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.
1084 However, for readability, these words do not appear in all uppercase
1085 letters in this specification.
1087 <p>All of the text of this specification is normative except sections
1088 explicitly marked as non-normative, examples, and notes. [[!RFC2119]]</p>
1090 <p>Examples in this specification are introduced with the words “for example”
1091 or are set apart from the normative text with <code>class="example"</code>,
1092 like this:
1094 <div class="example">
1095 <p>This is an example of an informative example.</p>
1096 </div>
1098 <p>Informative notes begin with the word “Note” and are set apart from the
1099 normative text with <code>class="note"</code>, like this:
1101 <p class="note">Note, this is an informative note.</p>
1103 <h3 id="conformance-classes">
1104 Conformance classes</h3>
1106 <p>Conformance to CSS Ruby Module
1107 is defined for three conformance classes:
1108 <dl>
1109 <dt><dfn title="style sheet!!as conformance class">style sheet</dfn>
1110 <dd>A <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html#style-sheet">CSS
1111 style sheet</a>.
1112 <dt><dfn>renderer</dfn></dt>
1113 <dd>A <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html#user-agent">UA</a>
1114 that interprets the semantics of a style sheet and renders
1115 documents that use them.
1116 <dt><dfn id="authoring-tool">authoring tool</dfn></dt>
1117 <dd>A <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html#user-agent">UA</a>
1118 that writes a style sheet.
1119 </dl>
1121 <p>A style sheet is conformant to CSS Ruby Module
1122 if all of its statements that use syntax defined in this module are valid
1123 according to the generic CSS grammar and the individual grammars of each
1124 feature defined in this module.
1126 <p>A renderer is conformant to CSS Ruby Module
1127 if, in addition to interpreting the style sheet as defined by the
1128 appropriate specifications, it supports all the features defined
1129 by CSS Ruby Module by parsing them correctly
1130 and rendering the document accordingly. However, the inability of a
1131 UA to correctly render a document due to limitations of the device
1132 does not make the UA non-conformant. (For example, a UA is not
1133 required to render color on a monochrome monitor.)
1135 <p>An authoring tool is conformant to CSS Ruby Module
1136 if it writes style sheets that are syntactically correct according to the
1137 generic CSS grammar and the individual grammars of each feature in
1138 this module, and meet all other conformance requirements of style sheets
1139 as described in this module.
1141 <h3 id="partial">
1142 Partial implementations</h3>
1144 <p>So that authors can exploit the forward-compatible parsing rules to
1145 assign fallback values, CSS renderers <strong>must</strong>
1146 treat as invalid (and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html#ignore">ignore
1147 as appropriate</a>) any at-rules, properties, property values, keywords,
1148 and other syntactic constructs for which they have no usable level of
1149 support. In particular, user agents <strong>must not</strong> selectively
1150 ignore unsupported component values and honor supported values in a single
1151 multi-value property declaration: if any value is considered invalid
1152 (as unsupported values must be), CSS requires that the entire declaration
1153 be ignored.</p>
1155 <h3 id="experimental">
1156 Experimental implementations</h3>
1158 <p>To avoid clashes with future CSS features, the CSS2.1 specification
1159 reserves a <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#vendor-keywords">prefixed
1160 syntax</a> for proprietary and experimental extensions to CSS.
1162 <p>Prior to a specification reaching the Candidate Recommendation stage
1163 in the W3C process, all implementations of a CSS feature are considered
1164 experimental. The CSS Working Group recommends that implementations
1165 use a vendor-prefixed syntax for such features, including those in
1166 W3C Working Drafts. This avoids incompatibilities with future changes
1167 in the draft.
1168 </p>
1170 <h3 id="testing">
1171 Non-experimental implementations</h3>
1173 <p>Once a specification reaches the Candidate Recommendation stage,
1174 non-experimental implementations are possible, and implementors should
1175 release an unprefixed implementation of any CR-level feature they
1176 can demonstrate to be correctly implemented according to spec.
1178 <p>To establish and maintain the interoperability of CSS across
1179 implementations, the CSS Working Group requests that non-experimental
1180 CSS renderers submit an implementation report (and, if necessary, the
1181 testcases used for that implementation report) to the W3C before
1182 releasing an unprefixed implementation of any CSS features. Testcases
1183 submitted to W3C are subject to review and correction by the CSS
1184 Working Group.
1186 <p>Further information on submitting testcases and implementation reports
1187 can be found from on the CSS Working Group's website at
1188 <a href="http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/">http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/</a>.
1189 Questions should be directed to the
1190 <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-css-testsuite">public-css-testsuite@w3.org</a>
1191 mailing list.
