   113 Module interactions</h3>
   115 	<p>This module extends the inline box model of CSS Level 2 [[!CSS21]]
   116 	to support ruby.
   118 	<p>None of the properties in this module apply to the <code>::first-line</code> or
   119 	<code>::first-letter</code> pseudo-elements.
   121 <h3 id="values">
   122 Values</h3>
   124 	<p>This specification follows the
   125 	<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/about.html#property-defs">CSS property
   126 	definition conventions</a> from [[!CSS21]]. Value types not defined in
   127 	this specification are defined in CSS Level 2 Revision 1 [[!CSS21]].
   128 	Other CSS modules may expand the definitions of these value types: for
   129 	example [[CSS3VAL]], when combined with this module, expands the
   130 	definition of the <var>&lt;length&gt;</var> value type as used in this specification.</p>
   132 	<p>In addition to the property-specific values listed in their definitions,
   133 	all properties defined in this specification also accept the
   134 	<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/cascade.html#value-def-inherit">inherit</a>
   135 	keyword as their property value. For readability it has not been repeated
   136 	explicitly.
   138 <h3 id="diagram-conventions">
   139 Diagram conventions</h3>
   141 	<p>Many typographical conventions in East Asian typography depend
   142 	on whether the character rendered is wide (CJK) or narrow (non-CJK).
   143 	There are a number of illustrations in this document
   144 	for which the following legend is used:
   146 	<dl>
   147 		<dt><img alt="Symbolic wide-cell glyph representation" width="39" height="39" src="images/fullwidth.gif">
   148 		<dd>Wide-cell glyph (e.g. Han) that is the <var>n</var>th character in the text run.
   149 		They are typically sized to 50% when used as annotations.
   150 		<dt><img alt="Symbolic narrow-cell glyph representation" width="19" height="39" src="images/halfwidth.gif">
   151 		<dd>Narrow-cell glyph (e.g. Roman) which is the <var>n</var>th glyph in the text run.
   152 	</dl>
   154 	<p>The orientation which the above symbols assume in the diagrams
   155 	corresponds to the orientation that the glyphs they represent
   156 	are intended to assume when rendered by the user agent.
   157 	Spacing between these characters in the diagrams is incidental,
   158 	unless intentionally changed to make a point.
   160 <h3 id="ruby-def">
   161 What is ruby?</h3>
   163 	<p><dfn>Ruby</dfn> is the commonly-used name for a run of text
   164 	that appears alongside another run of text (referred to as the “base”)
   165 	and serves as an annotation or a pronunciation guide associated with that run of text.
   167 	<p>The following figures show two examples of Ruby,
   168 	a simple case and one with more complicated structure.
   170 	<div class="example">
   171 		<p>In this first example, a single annotation is used to annotate the base text.
   172 		<div class="figure">
   173 			<p><img src="images/licence.png"
   174 			        alt="Example of ruby applied on top of a Japanese expression">
   175 			<p class="caption">Example of ruby used in Japanese (simple case)
   176 		</div>
   177 		<p>In Japanese typography, this case is sometimes called
   178 		<i lang="ja">taigo</i> ruby or group-ruby (per-word ruby),
   179 		because the annotation as a whole is associated
   180 		with multi-character word (as a whole).
   181 	</div>
   183 	<div class="example">
   184 		<p>In this second example,
   185 		two levels of annotations are attached to a base sequence:
   186 		the hiragana characters on top refer to the pronunciation of each of the base kanji characters,
   187 		while the words “Keio” and “University” on the bottom are annotations describing the English translation.
   188 		<div class="figure">
   189 			<p><img src="images/ruby-univ.gif"
   190 			        alt="Example showing complex ruby with annotation text over and under the base characters">
   191 			<p class="caption">Complex ruby with annotation text over and under the base characters
   192 		</div>
   193 		<p>
   194 		<p>Notice that to allow correct association between the hiragana characters and 
   195 		their corresponding Kanji base characters,
   196 		the spacing between these Kanji characters is adjusted.
   197 		(This happens around the fourth Kanji character in the figure above.)
   198 		To avoid variable spacing between the Kanji characters in the example above
   199 		the hiragana annotations can be styled as a <i>collapsed annotation</i>,
   200 		which will look more like the group-ruby example earlier.
   201 		However because the base-annotation pairings are recorded in the ruby structure,
   202 		if the text breaks across lines, the annotation characters will stay
   203 		correctly paired with their respective base characters.
   204 	</div>
   206 	<p><i>Ruby</i> formatting as used in Japanese is described in JIS X-4051 [[JIS4051]] (in Japanese)
   207 	and in Requirements for Japanese Text Layout [[JLREQ]] (in English and Japanese)].
   208 	In HTML, ruby structure and markup to represent it is described
   209 	in the Ruby Markup Extension specification.
   210 	This module describes the CSS rendering model
   211 	and formatting controls relevant to ruby layout of such markup.
   213 <h2 id="ruby-model">
   214 Ruby Formatting Model</h2>
   216 	<p>The CSS ruby model is based on
   217 	the <a href="http://darobin.github.io/html-ruby/">HTML Ruby Markup Extension</a>
   218 	and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/">XHTML Ruby Annotation Recommendation</a> [[RUBY]].
   219 	In this model, a ruby structure consists of
   220 	one or more <dfn>ruby base</dfn> elements representing the base (annotated) text,
   221 	associated with one or more levels of <dfn>ruby annotation</dfn> elements representing the annotations.
   222 	The structure of ruby is similar to that of a table:
   223 	there are “rows” (the base text level, each annotation level)
   224 	and “columns” (each <i>ruby base</i> and its corresponding <i>ruby annotations</i>).
   226 	<p>Consecutive bases and annotations are grouped together into <dfn>ruby segments</dfn>.
   227 	Within a <i>ruby segment</i>, a <i>ruby annotation</i> may span multiple <i>ruby bases</i>.
   229 	<p class="note">In HTML, a single <code>&lt;ruby&gt;</code> element may contain multiple <i>ruby segments</i>.
   230 	(In the XHTML Ruby model, a single <code>&lt;ruby&gt;</code> element can only contain one <i>ruby segment</i>.)
   232 <h3 id="ruby-display">
   233 Ruby-specific 'display' property values</h3>
   235 	<p>For document languages (such as XML applications) that do not have pre-defined ruby elements,
   236 	authors must map document language elements to ruby elements;
   237 	this is done with the 'display' property.
   239 	<table class="propdef">
   240 		<tr>
   241 			<th>Name:
   242 			<td>display
   243 		<tr>
   244 			<th><a href="#values">New Values</a>:
   245 			<td>ruby | ruby-base | ruby-text | ruby-base-container | ruby-text-container
   246 	</table>
   248 	<p>The following new 'display' values assign ruby layout roles to an arbitrary element:
   250 	<dl>
   251 		<dt>''ruby''
   252 			<dd>Specifies that an element generates a <dfn title="ruby container | ruby container box">ruby container box</dfn>.
   253 			(Corresponds to HTML/XHTML <code>&lt;ruby&gt;</code> elements.)
   254 		<dt>''ruby-base''
   255 			<dd>Specifies that an element generates a <dfn title="ruby base box | ruby base">ruby base box</dfn>.
   256 			(Corresponds to HTML/XHTML <code>&lt;rb&gt;</code> elements.)
   257 		<dt>''ruby-text''
   258 			<dd>Specifies that an element generates a <dfn title="ruby annotation box | ruby annotation">ruby annotation box</dfn>.
   259 			(Corresponds to HTML/XHTML <code>&lt;rt&gt;</code> elements.)
   260 		<dt>''ruby-base-container''
   261 			<dd>Specifies that an element generates a <dfn title="ruby base container box | ruby base container">ruby base container box</dfn>.
   262 			(Corresponds to XHTML <code>&lt;rbc&gt;</code> elements; always implied in HTML.)
   263 		<dt>''ruby-text-container''
   264 			<dd>Specifies that an element generates a <dfn title="ruby annotation container box | ruby annotation container">ruby annotation container box</dfn>.
   265 			(Corresponds to HTML/XHTML <code>&lt;ruby&gt;</code> elements.)
   266 	</dl>
   268 <h3 id="box-fixup">
   269 Anonymous Ruby Box Generation</h3>
   271 	<p>The CSS model does not require that the document language
   272 	include elements that correspond to each of these components.
   273 	Missing parts of the structure are implied through the anonymous box generation rules
   274 	<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#anonymous-boxes">similar to those used to normalize tables</a>. [[!CSS21]]
   276 	<ol>
   277 		<li>Any in-flow block-level boxes directly contained by a
   278 		<i>ruby container</i>,
   279 		<i>ruby base container</i>,
   280 		<i>ruby annotation container</i>,
   281 		<i>ruby base box</i>,
   282 		or <i>ruby annotation box</i>
   283 		are forced to be inline-level boxes,
   284 		and their 'display' value computed accordingly.
   285 		For example,
   286 		the 'display' property of an in-flow element with ''display: block''
   287 		parented by an element with ''display: ruby-text''
   288 		computes to ''inline-block''.
   289 		This computation occurs after any intermediary anonymous-box fixup
   290 		(such as that required by internal table elements).
   292 		<li>Any consecutive sequence of <i>ruby bases</i> not parented by a <i>ruby base container</i>
   293 		is wrapped in an anonymous <i>ruby base container</i>.
   294 		Similarly, any consecutive sequence of <i>ruby annotations</i> not parented by a <i>ruby annotation container</i>
   295 		is wrapped in an anonymous <i>ruby annotation container</i>.
   297 		<li>Within each <i>ruby base container</i>,
   298 		each sequence of inline-level boxes is wrapped in an anonymous <i>ruby base box</i>.
   299 		Similarly, within each <i>ruby annotation container</i>,
   300 		each sequence of inline-level boxes is wrapped in an anonymous <i>ruby annotation box</i>.
   302 		<li>A sequence of <i>ruby base containers</i> and/or <i>ruby annotation containers</i>
   303 		not parented by a <i>ruby container</i>
   304 		is wrapped in an anonymous <i>ruby container</i>.
   305 	</ol>
   307 	<p>At this point, all ruby layout structures are properly parented,
   308 	and the UA can start to associate bases with their annotations.
   310 	<p class="note">
   311 	Note that the UA is not required to create any of these anonymous boxes in its internal structures,
   312 	as long as pairing and layout behaves as if they existed.
   314 <h3 id="pairing">
   315 Ruby Pairing and Annotation Levels</h3>
   317 	<p>Within a ruby structure,
   318 	each <i>ruby base</i> is associated with <i>ruby annotations</i>
   319 	and vice versa.
   320 	A <i>ruby base</i> can be associated with at most one <i>ruby annotation</i> per annotation level.
   321 	If there are multiple annotation levels, it can therefore be associated with multiple <i>ruby annotations</i>.
   322 	A <i>ruby annotation</i> is associated with one or more <i>ruby bases</i>;
   323 	annotations can span multiple bases.
   325 	<p><dfn>Annotation pairing</dfn> is the process of associating
   326 	<i>ruby annotations</i> with <i>ruby bases</i>.
   328 	<ol>
   329 		<li>
   330 		<p>First, the ruby structure is divided into <i>ruby segments</i>,
   331 		each consisting of a single <i>ruby base container</i>
   332 		followed by one or more <i>ruby annotation containers</i>.
   333 		If the first child of a <i>ruby container</i> is a <i>ruby annotation container</i>,
   334 		an anonymous, empty <i>ruby base container</i> is assumed to exist before it.
   335 		Similarly, if the <i>ruby container</i> contains consecutive <i>ruby base containers</i>,
   336 		anonymous, empty <i>ruby annotation containers</i> are assumed to exist between them.
   337 		The <i>ruby base container</i> in each segment is thus associated
   338 		with each of the <i>ruby annotation containers</i> in that segment.
   340 		<p>Each <i>ruby annotation containers</i> in a <i>ruby segment</i>
   341 		represents one <dfn title="annotation level | level">level</dfn> of annotation:
   342 		the first one represents the first level of annotation,
   343 		the second one represents the second level of annotation,
   344 		and so on.
   346 		<li>Within each <i>ruby segment</i>,
   347 		each <i>ruby base box</i> in the <i>ruby base container</i>
   348 		is paired with one <i>ruby annotation box</i>
   349 		from each <i>ruby annotation container</i> in its <i>ruby segment</i>.
   350 		If there are not enough <i>ruby annotations</i> in a <i>ruby annotation container</i>,
   351 		the last one is associated with any excess <i>ruby bases</i>.
   352 		(If there are not any in the <i>ruby annotation container</i>, an anonymous empty one is assumed to exist.)
   353 		If there are not enough <i>ruby bases</i>,
   354 		any remaining <i>ruby annotations</i> are assumed to be associated
   355 		with empty, anonymous bases inserted at the end of the <i>ruby base container</i>.
   357 		<p>If an implementation supports ruby markup with explicit spanning
   358 		(e.g. XHTML Complex Ruby Annotations),
   359 		it must adjust the pairing rules to pair spanning annotations to multiple bases
   360 		appropriately.
   361 	</ol>
   363 	<p>A this point, ruby “columns” are defined,
   364 	each represented by a single <i>ruby base</i>
   365 	and associated with one <i>ruby annotation</i> (possibly an empty, anonymous one)
   366 	from each <i>annotation level</i>.
   368 <h4 id="nested-pairing">
   369 Nested Ruby</h4>
   371 	<p>When <i>ruby containers</i> are nested,
   372 	pairing begins with the deepest <i>ruby container</i>,
   373 	then expands out,
   374 	treating each <i>ruby container</i> nested within another <i>ruby container</i>
   375 	essentially as a single <i>ruby base</i> in the outer <i>ruby container</i>,
   376 	and associating each <i>ruby annotation</i>
   377 	paired with the nested <i>ruby container</i>
   378 	as being associated with (spanning) all of its <i>ruby bases</i>.
   380 	<p>Using nested <i>ruby containers</i> thus allows the representation
   381 	of complex spanning relationships.
   383 	<p class="issue">This has to be Level 1 because HTML5 allows it, so we have to handle it. Yay HTML5.
   385 <h3 id="autohide">
   386 Autohiding Annotations</h3>
   388 	<p>If a <i>ruby annotation</i> has the exact same text content as its base,
   389 	it is <dfn title="hidden ruby annotation | hidden annotation">hidden</dfn>.
   390 	Hiding a <i>ruby annotation</i> does not affect annotation pairing
   391 	or the block-axis positioning of boxes in other <i>levels</i>.
   392 	However the <i>hidden annotation</i> is not visible,
   393 	and it has no impact on layout
   394 	other than to separate adjacent sequences of <i>ruby annotation boxes</i> within its level,
   395 	as if they belonged to separate segments
   396 	and the <i>hidden annotation</i>’s base were not a <i>ruby base</i> but an intervening inline.
   398 	<div class="example">
   399 		<p>This is to allow correct inlined display of annotations
   400 		for Japanese words that are a mix of kanji and hirangana.
   401 		For example, the word <i>振り仮名</i> should be inlined as
   402 		<p class="figure">振り仮名(ふりがな)
   403 		<p>and therefore marked up as
   404 		<pre>
   405 <!--		-->&lt;ruby>
   406 <!--		-->  &lt;rb>振&lt;/rb>&lt;rb>り&lt;/rb>&lt;rb>仮&lt;/rb>&lt;rb>名&lt;/rb>
   407 <!--		-->  &lt;rp>(&lt;/rp>&lt;rt>ふ&lt;/rt>&lt;rt>り&lt;/rt>&lt;rt>が&lt;/rt>&lt;rt>な&lt;/rt>&lt;rp>)&lt;/rp>
   408 <!--		-->&lt;ruby></pre>
   409 		<p>However, when displayed as ruby, the “り” should be hidden
   410 		<div class="figure">
   411 			<p><img src="images/furigana-separate.png"
   412 			        alt="Hiragana annotations for 振り仮名 appear, each above its base character.">
   413 			<p class="caption">Hiragana ruby for 振り仮名
   414 		</div>
   415 	</div>
   417 	<p class="note">
   418 		Future levels of CSS Ruby may add controls for this,
   419 		but in this level it is always forced.
   421 	<p>The content comparison for this auto-hiding behavior

   427 White Space</h3>
   429 	<p><i>Collapsible</i> white space within a ruby structure is discarded
   430 	<ul>
   431 		<li>at the beginning and end of a <i>ruby container</i>, <i>ruby annotation container</i>, or <i>ruby base container</i>,
   432 		<li>at the beginning/end of a <i>ruby annotation box</i> or <i>ruby base box</i> if white space is not its only contents,
   433 		<li>between a <i>ruby base container</i> and its following <i>ruby annotation container</i>,
   434 		<li>between <i>ruby annotation containers</i>.
   435 	</ul>
   437 	<p>Between <i>ruby segments</i>, between <i>ruby bases</i>, and between <i>ruby annotations</i>, however,
   438 	white space is not discarded.
   440 	<p>Where undiscarded white space is <i>collapsible</i>, it will collapse
   441 	following the standard <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#white-space-rules">white space processing rules</a>. [[!CSS3TEXT]]
   442 	For <i>collapsible</i> white space between <i>ruby segments</i>, however,
   443 	the contextual text for determining collapsing behavior is given by the <i>ruby bases</i> on either side,
   444 	not the text on either side of the white space in the source document.
   446 	<div class="note">
   447 		<p>Note that the white space processing rules
   448 		cause a white space sequence containing a <i>segment break</i> (such as a line feed)
   449 		to <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#line-break-transform">collapse to nothing</a> between CJK characters.
   450 		This means that CJK ruby can safely use white space for indentation of the ruby markup.
   451 		For example, the following markup will display without any spaces:
   452 		<pre>
   453 <!--		-->&lt;ruby>
   454 <!--		-->  &lt;rb>東&lt;/rb>&lt;rb>京&lt;/rb>
   455 <!--		-->  &lt;rt>とう&lt;/rt>&lt;rt>きょう&lt;/rt>
   456 <!--		-->&lt;/ruby></pre>
   457 		<p>However, white space that does not contain a <i>segment break</i> does not collapse completely away,
   458 		so this markup will display with a space between the first and second ruby pairs:
   459 		<pre>
   460 <!--		-->&lt;ruby>
   461 <!--		-->  &lt;rb>東&lt;/rb>	&lt;rb>京&lt;/rb>
   462 <!--		-->  &lt;rt>とう&lt;/rt>	&lt;rt>きょう&lt;/rt>
   463 <!--		-->&lt;/ruby></pre>
   464 	</div>
   466 	<p>Any preserved white space is then wrapped in an anonymous box belonging to
   467 	the <i>ruby base container</i> (if between <i>ruby bases</i>),
   468 	<i>ruby annotation container</i> (if between <i>ruby annotations</i>),
   469 	or <i>ruby container</i> (if between <i>ruby segments</i>).
   470 	In the latter case, the text is considered part of the <i>base level</i>.
   471 	Such anonynmous boxes do not take part in pairing.
   472 	They merely ensure separation between adjacent bases/annotations.
   474 	<p class="issue">Specify how these anonymous white space boxes impact layout.
   476 	<div class="example">
   477 		<p>These rules allow ruby to be used with space-separated scripts such as Latin.

   483 <!--		-->&lt;/ruby></pre>
   484 		<p>They also ensure that annotated white space is preserved. For example,

   493 Ruby layout</h3>
   495 	<p>When a ruby structure is laid out,
   496 	its base level is laid out on the line,
   497 	aligned according to its 'vertical-align' property
   498 	exactly as if its <i>bases</i> were a regular sequence of <i>inline</i> boxes.
   499 	Each <i>ruby base container</i> is sized and positioned
   500 	to contain exactly the full height of its <i>ruby bases</i>.
   502 	<p><i>Ruby annotations</i> associated with the base level
   503 	are then positioned with respect to their <i>ruby base boxes</i>
   504 	according to the applicable 'ruby-position' values.
   505 	<i>Ruby annotations</i> within a level (within a single <i>ruby container</i>)
   506 	are aligned to each other as if they were inline boxes
   507 	participating in the same inline formatting context.
   508 	Each <i>ruby annotation container</i> is sized and positioned
   509 	to contain exactly the full height of its <i>ruby annotations</i>.
   511 	<p>A ruby container (or fragment thereof)
   512 	measures as wide as the content of its widest level.
   513 	Similarly, <i>ruby base boxes</i> and <i>ruby annotation boxes</i>
   514 	within a ruby “column” have the measure of the widest content in that “column”.
   515 	In the case of spanning <i>annotations</i>
   516 	(whether actually spanning or pretending to span per 'ruby-collapse'),
   517 	the measures of the <i>ruby annotation box</i> and
   518 	the sum of its associated <i>ruby base boxes</i> must match.
   520 	<p>How the extra space is distributed
   521 	when ruby content is narrower than the measure of its box

   525 Inter-character ruby layout</h4>
   527 	<p>Inter-character annotations have special layout.
   528 	When 'ruby-position' indicates ''inter-character'' annotations,
   529 	the affected <i>annotation boxes</i>
   530 	are spliced into and measured as part of the layout of the base level.
   531 	The <i>ruby base container</i> must be sized to include both the <i>base boxes</i>
   532 	as well as the ''inter-character'' <i>annotation boxes</i>.
   533 	The affected <i>ruby annotation container</i> is similarly sized
   534 	so that its content box coincides with that of the <i>ruby base container</i>.
   536 	<p>For the purpose of laying out other levels of annotations,
   537 	an ''inter-character'' annotation effectively becomes part of its base.
   538 	<span class="issue">Or should it become a quasi-base between two bases?</span>

   543 Styling Ruby Boxes</h3>
   545 	<p>In most respects, ruby boxes can be styled similar to inline boxes.
   546 	However, the UA is not required to support
   547 	any of the box properties (borders, margins, padding),
   548 	any of the background properties or outline properties,
   549 	or any other property that illustrates the bounds of the box
   550 	on <i>ruby base container boxes</i>, <i>ruby annotation container boxes</i>,
   551 	or <a href="#nested-pairing">ruby-internal <i>ruby container boxes</i></a>.
   552 	The UA may implement these boxes simply as abstractions for inheritance
   553 	and control over the layout of their contents.
   555 	<p class="issue">
   556 		Alternatively... use margins to control offsets?
   557 		Or could line-height be adequate? Its centering behavior can be awkward.
   559 <h3 id="line-breaks">
   560 Ruby box and line breaking</h3>
   562 	<p>When there is not enough space for an entire <i>ruby container</i> to fit on the line,
   563 	the ruby may be broken wherever all levels simultaneously allow a break.
   564 	Ruby most often breaks between base-annotation sets,
   565 	but if the line-breaking rules allow it, can also break within a <i>ruby base</i>
   566 	(and, in parallel, its associated <i>annotation boxes</i>).
   568 	<p>Whenever ruby breaks across lines, <i>ruby annotations</i> must stay
   569 	with their respective <i>bases</i>.
   570 	The line <em>must not</em> break between a <i>ruby base</i> and its <i>annotations</i>,
   571 	even in the case of ''inter-character'' <i>annotations</i>.

   580 Breaking between bases</h4>
   582 	<p>In typical cases, <i>ruby base boxes</i> and <i>ruby annotation boxes</i>
   583 	are styled to forbid internal line wrapping and do not contain forced breaks.
   584 	(See <a href="#default-stylesheet">Appendix A</a>.)
   585 	In such cases the <i>ruby container</i> can only break between adjacent <i>ruby bases</i>,
   586 	and only if no <i>ruby annotations</i> span those <i>ruby bases</i>.
   588 	<div class="figure">

   591 		<p class="caption">Ruby line breaking opportunity
   592 	</div>
   594 	<p>Whether ruby can break between two adjacent <i>ruby bases</i>
   595 	is controlled by normal line-breaking rules for the base text,
   596 	exactly as if the <i>ruby bases</i> were adjacent <i>inline</i> boxes.
   597 	(The annotations are ignored when determining soft wrap opportunities for the base level.)
   599 	<div class="example">
   600 		<p>For example, if two adjacent ruby bases are “蝴” and “蝶”,
   601 		the line may break between them,
   602 		because lines are normally allowed to break between two Han characters.
   603 		However, if 'word-break' is ''keep-all'', that line break is forbidden.
   604 		<pre>&lt;ruby>蝴&lt;rt>hú&lt;/rt>蝶&lt;rt>dié&lt;/rt></pre>
   605 	</div>
   607 	<p>Inter-base white space is significant for evaluating line break opportunities between <i>ruby bases</i>.
   608 	As with white space between inlines, it collapses when the line breaks there.
   609 	Similarly, annotation white space is also trimmed at a line break.
   611 	<div class="example">
   612 		<p>For example, given the following markup:
   613 		<pre>&lt;ruby>&lt;rb>one&lt;/rb> &lt;rb>two&lt;/rb> &lt;rt>1&lt;/rt> &lt;rt>2&lt;/rt>&lt;/ruby></pre>
   614 		<p>Due to the space, the line may break between “one” and “two“.
   615 		If the line breaks there, that space&mdash;and the space between “1” and “2”&mdash;disappears,
   616 		in accordance with standard CSS white space processing rules. [[CSS3TEXT]]

   619 <h4 id="break-within">
   620 Breaking within bases</h4>
   622 	<p>For longer base texts, it is sometimes appropriate to allow breaking within a base-annotation pair.
   623 	For example, if an English sentence is annotated with its Japanese translation,
   624 	allowing the text to wrap allows for reasonable line breaking behavior in the paragraph.
   626 	<p class="issue">
   627 	Insert scanned example so people don't think this is just the ramblings of an insane spec-writer.
   629 	<p>Line-breaking within a <i>ruby base</i> is only allowed if the 'white-space' property
   630 	of the <i>ruby base</i> and all its parallel <i>annotations</i> allow it,
   631 	and there exists a <i>soft wrap opportunity</i> <em>within</em> (i.e. not at the start or end)
   632 	the content of each base/annotation box.
   633 	Since there is no structural correspondance between fragments of content
   634 	within <i>ruby bases</i> and <i>annotations</i>,
   635 	the UA may break at any set of opportunities;
   636 	but it is recommended that the UA attempt to proportionally balance
   637 	the amount of content inside each fragment.
   639 	<p>There are no line breaking opportunities within ''inter-character'' <i>annotations</i>.

   658 	Bidi reordering of ruby-annotation pairs is controlled by the ordering of the base text, as follows:
   660 <h4 id="bidi-B">Proposal A</h4>
   662 	<p class="note">This proposal is simpler, but will require more frequent tagging of mixed-directionality content.
   664 	<p>To avoid the interference of the <i>annotations</i> in the ordering of base text,
   665 	all annotations are ignored for the purpose of resolving neutral characters in the base level.
   667 	<p>To preserve the correspondance of <i>ruby annotations</i>
   668 	to their respective <i>ruby bases</i>,
   669 	a few restrictions are imposed:
   670 	<ul>
   671 		<li>The contents of a <i>ruby base</i> or <i>ruby annotation</i> must remain contiguous.
   672 			To this end, the contents of each <i>ruby base</i> and <i>ruby annotation</i> are treated as if within a <i>bidi isolation</i>.
   673 		<li>For the purpose of ordering <i>ruby bases</i> within a <i>ruby container</i>,
   674 			each <i>ruby base</i> is treated as a strong character of its specified 'direction'.
   675 			(<i>Ruby annotations</i> are positioned with respect to their <i>bases</i>,
   676 			so are affected by reordering, but do not themselves participate in reordering.)
   677 		<li>All <i>bases</i> spanned by a single <i>annotation</i> must remain contiguous.
   678 			To this end, the embedding level of all bases spanned by a spanning <i>annotation</i>
   679 			is increased by two prior to reordering.

   682 <h4 id="bidi-B">Proposal B</h4>
   684 	<p class="note">This preserves some aspects of implicit bidi.

   702 	the spanned text's embedding level

   708 <h3 id="line-height">
   709 Ruby box and line stacking</h3>
   711 	<p>The 'line-height' property controls spacing between lines in CSS.
   712 	When inline content on line is shorter than the 'line-height',
   713 	half-leading is added on either side of the content,
   714 	as specificed in <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#line-height">CSS2.1&sect;10.8</a>. [[!CSS21]]
   716 	<p>In order to ensure consistent spacing of lines,
   717 	documents with ruby typically ensure that the 'line-height' is large enough
   718 	to accommodate ruby between lines of text.
   719 	Therefore, ordinarily, <i>ruby annotation containers</i> and <i>ruby annotation boxes</i>
   720 	do not contribute to the measured height of a line's inline contents;
   721 	any alignment (see 'vertical-align') and line-height calculations
   722 	are performed using only the <i>ruby base container</i>,
   723 	exactly as if it were a normal inline.
   725 	<p>However, if the 'line-height' specified on the <i>ruby container</i>
   726 	is less than the distance between
   727 	the top of the top <i>ruby annotation container</i>
   728 	and the bottom of the bottom <i>ruby annotation container</i>,
   729 	then additional leading is added
   730 	on the appropriate side of the <i>ruby base container</i>
   731 	such that if a block consisted of three lines
   732 	each containing ruby identical to this,
   733 	none of the <i>ruby containers</i> would overlap.
   735 	<p class="note">Note that this does not ensure that the <i>ruby annotations</i> remain within the line box.
   736 	It merely ensures that <em>if all lines had equal spacing</em>
   737 	and equivalent amounts and positioning of <i>ruby annotations</i>,
   738 	there would be enough room to avoid overlap.
   740 	<p>Authors should ensure appropriate 'line-height' and 'padding' to accommodate ruby,

  1108 		When <i>ruby annotation box</i> is longer than its corresponding <i>ruby base box</i>,

  1114 	</p>
  1116 	<p>If the ruby text is not allowed to overhang,
  1117 	then the ruby behaves like a traditional inline box,
  1118 	i.e. only its own contents are rendered within its boundaries
  1119 	and adjacent elements do not cross the box boundary:

  1373 	<p>The following represents a sample style sheet
  1374 	for rendering HTML and XHTML ruby markup as inline annotations:
  1376 	<pre>ruby, rb, rt, rbc, rtc, rp {

  1383 	<p>Unfortunately, because Selectors cannot match against text nodes,
  1384 	it's not possible with CSS to express rules that will automatically and correctly
  1385 	add parentheses to unparenthesized ruby annotations in HTML.
  1386 	(This is because HTML ruby allows implying the <i>ruby base</i> from raw text, without a corresponding element.)
  1387 	However, these rules will handle cases where either <code>&lt;rb&gt;</code>
  1388 	or <code>&lt;rtc&gt;</code> is used rigorously.

  1474 Conformance classes</h3>
  1476   <p>Conformance to CSS Ruby Module
  1477   is defined for three conformance classes:
  1478   <dl>
  1479     <dt><dfn title="style sheet!!as conformance class">style sheet</dfn>
  1480       <dd>A <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html#style-sheet">CSS
  1481       style sheet</a>.
  1482     <dt><dfn>renderer</dfn></dt>
  1483       <dd>A <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html#user-agent">UA</a>
  1484       that interprets the semantics of a style sheet and renders
  1485       documents that use them.
  1486     <dt><dfn id="authoring-tool">authoring tool</dfn></dt>
  1487       <dd>A <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html#user-agent">UA</a>
  1488       that writes a style sheet.
  1489   </dl>
  1491   <p>A style sheet is conformant to CSS Ruby Module
  1492   if all of its statements that use syntax defined in this module are valid
  1493   according to the generic CSS grammar and the individual grammars of each
  1494   feature defined in this module.
  1496   <p>A renderer is conformant to CSS Ruby Module
  1497   if, in addition to interpreting the style sheet as defined by the
  1498   appropriate specifications, it supports all the features defined
  1499   by CSS Ruby Module by parsing them correctly
  1500   and rendering the document accordingly. However, the inability of a
  1501   UA to correctly render a document due to limitations of the device
  1502   does not make the UA non-conformant. (For example, a UA is not
  1503   required to render color on a monochrome monitor.)
  1505   <p>An authoring tool is conformant to CSS Ruby Module
  1506   if it writes style sheets that are syntactically correct according to the
  1507   generic CSS grammar and the individual grammars of each feature in
  1508   this module, and meet all other conformance requirements of style sheets
  1509   as described in this module.
  1511 <h3 id="partial">
  1512 Partial implementations</h3>
  1514   <p>So that authors can exploit the forward-compatible parsing rules to
  1515   assign fallback values, CSS renderers <strong>must</strong>
  1516   treat as invalid (and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html#ignore">ignore
  1517   as appropriate</a>) any at-rules, properties, property values, keywords,
  1518   and other syntactic constructs for which they have no usable level of
  1519   support. In particular, user agents <strong>must not</strong> selectively
  1520   ignore unsupported component values and honor supported values in a single
  1521   multi-value property declaration: if any value is considered invalid
  1522   (as unsupported values must be), CSS requires that the entire declaration
  1523   be ignored.</p>
  1525 <h3 id="experimental">
  1526 Experimental implementations</h3>
  1528   <p>To avoid clashes with future CSS features, the CSS2.1 specification
  1529   reserves a <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#vendor-keywords">prefixed
  1530   syntax</a> for proprietary and experimental extensions to CSS.
  1532   <p>Prior to a specification reaching the Candidate Recommendation stage
  1533   in the W3C process, all implementations of a CSS feature are considered
  1534   experimental. The CSS Working Group recommends that implementations
  1535   use a vendor-prefixed syntax for such features, including those in
  1536   W3C Working Drafts. This avoids incompatibilities with future changes
  1537   in the draft.
  1538   </p>
  1540 <h3 id="testing">
  1541 Non-experimental implementations</h3>
  1543   <p>Once a specification reaches the Candidate Recommendation stage,
  1544   non-experimental implementations are possible, and implementors should
  1545   release an unprefixed implementation of any CR-level feature they
  1546   can demonstrate to be correctly implemented according to spec.
  1548   <p>To establish and maintain the interoperability of CSS across
  1549   implementations, the CSS Working Group requests that non-experimental
  1550   CSS renderers submit an implementation report (and, if necessary, the
  1551   testcases used for that implementation report) to the W3C before
  1552   releasing an unprefixed implementation of any CSS features. Testcases
  1553   submitted to W3C are subject to review and correction by the CSS
  1554   Working Group.
  1556   <p>Further information on submitting testcases and implementation reports
  1557   can be found from on the CSS Working Group's website at
  1558   <a href="http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/">http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/</a>.

  1574 Changes</h2>
  1576 	<p>The following major changes have been made since the previous Working Draft:
  1577 	<dl>
  1578 		<dt>Remove 'ruby-span' and mentions of <code>rbspan</code>.
  1579 		<dd>
  1580 			Explicit spanning is not used in HTML ruby in favor of implicit spanning.
  1581 			This can't handle some pathological double-sided spanning cases,
  1582 			but there seems to be no requirement for these at the moment.
  1583 			(For implementations that support full complex XHTML Ruby,
  1584 			they can imply spanning from the markup the same magic way
  1585 			that we handle cell spanning from tables. It doesn't seem
  1586 			necessary to include controls this in Level 1.)
  1588 		<dt>Defer 'ruby-overhang' and ''ruby-align: line-end'' to Level 2.
  1589 		<dd>
  1590 			It's somewhat complicated, advanced feature.
  1591 			Proposal is to make this behavior UA-defined
  1592 			and provide some examples of acceptable options.
  1594 		<dt>Close issue requesting 'display: rp': use ''display: none''.
  1595 		<dd>
  1596 			The Internationalization WG added an issue requesting a display value for &lt;rp> elements.
  1597 			They're supposed to be hidden when &lt;ruby> is displayed as ruby.
  1598 			But this is easily accomplished already with ''display: none''.
  1600 		<dt>Change 'ruby-position' values to match 'text-emphasis-position'.
  1601 		<dd>
  1602 			Other than ''inter-character'', which we need to keep,
  1603 			it makes more sense to align ruby positions with 'text-emphasis-position',
  1604 			which can correctly handle various combinations of horizontal/vertical preferences.
  1606 		<dt>Remove unused values of 'ruby-align'.
  1607 		<dd>
  1608 			''left'', ''right'', and ''end'' are not needed.
  1610 		<dt>Replace ''auto'', ''distribute-letter'', and ''distribute-space'' from 'ruby-align' with ''space-between'' and ''space-around''.
  1611 		<dd>
  1612 			The ''auto'' value relied on inspecting content to determine behavior;
  1613 			this can be avoided by just using ''space-around'' with standard justification rules
  1614 			(which allow spacing between CJK but not between Latin).
  1615 			Replaced ''distribute-letter'' and ''distribute-space'' with
  1616 			''space-between'' and ''space-around'' for consistency with distribution keywords
  1617 			in [[CSS3-FLEXBOX]] and [[CSS3-ALIGN]]
  1618 			and to avoid any links to the definition of ''text-justify: distribute''.
  1620 		<dt>Added 'ruby-merge' property to control jukugo rendering.
  1621 		<dd>
  1622 			This is a stylistic effect, not a structural one;
  1623 			the previous model assumed that it was structural and suggested handling it by changing markup. :(
  1625 		<dt>Remove ''inline'' from 'ruby-position'.
  1626 		<dd>
  1627 			This is do-able via ''display: inline'' on all the ruby-related elements,
  1628 			see <a href="#default-inline">Appendix A</a>
  1630 		<dt>Added <a href="#default-style">Default Style</a> rules
  1631 		<dd>
  1632 			As requested by Internationalization WG.
  1634 		<dt>Wrote anonymous box generation rules
  1635 		<dd>
  1636 			And defined pairing of bases and annotations.
  1637 			Should now handle all the crazy proposed permutations of HTML ruby markup.
  1639 		<dt>Defined layout of ruby
  1640 		<dd>
  1641 			Defined in detail space distribution, white space handling, line breaking, line stacking, etc.
  1642 			Open issue left for bidi.
