Introduction</span><a class=self-link href=#intro></a></h2>
<p><em>This section is not normative.</em>
<h3 class="heading settled" data-level=1.1 id=placement><span class=secno>1.1. </span><span class=content>
Module interactions</span><a class=self-link href=#placement></a></h3>
<p>This module extends the inline box model of CSS Level 2 <a data-biblio-type=normative data-link-type=biblio href=#biblio-css21 title=CSS21>[CSS21]</a>
to support ruby.
<p>None of the properties in this module apply to the <code>::first-line</code> or
<code>::first-letter</code> pseudo-elements.
<h3 class="heading settled" data-level=1.2 id=values><span class=secno>1.2. </span><span class=content>
Values</span><a class=self-link href=#values></a></h3>
<p>This specification follows the
<a href=http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/about.html#property-defs>CSS property
definition conventions</a> from <a data-biblio-type=normative data-link-type=biblio href=#biblio-css21 title=CSS21>[CSS21]</a>. Value types not defined in
this specification are defined in CSS Level 2 Revision 1 <a data-biblio-type=normative data-link-type=biblio href=#biblio-css21 title=CSS21>[CSS21]</a>.
Other CSS modules may expand the definitions of these value types: for
example <a data-biblio-type=informative data-link-type=biblio href=#biblio-css3val title=CSS3VAL>[CSS3VAL]</a>, when combined with this module, expands the
definition of the <var><length></var> value type as used in this specification.</p>
<p>In addition to the property-specific values listed in their definitions,
all properties defined in this specification also accept the
<a href=http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/cascade.html#value-def-inherit>inherit</a>
keyword as their property value. For readability it has not been repeated
explicitly.
<h3 class="heading settled" data-level=1.3 id=diagram-conventions><span class=secno>1.3. </span><span class=content>
Diagram conventions</span><a class=self-link href=#diagram-conventions></a></h3>
<p>Many typographical conventions in East Asian typography depend
on whether the character rendered is wide (CJK) or narrow (non-CJK).
There are a number of illustrations in this document
for which the following legend is used:
<dl>
<dt><img alt="Symbolic wide-cell glyph representation" height=39 src=images/fullwidth.gif width=39>
<dd>Wide-cell glyph (e.g. Han) that is the <var>n</var>th character in the text run.
They are typically sized to 50% when used as annotations.
<dt><img alt="Symbolic narrow-cell glyph representation" height=39 src=images/halfwidth.gif width=19>
<dd>Narrow-cell glyph (e.g. Roman) which is the <var>n</var>th glyph in the text run.
</dl>
<p>The orientation which the above symbols assume in the diagrams
corresponds to the orientation that the glyphs they represent
are intended to assume when rendered by the user agent.
Spacing between these characters in the diagrams is incidental,
unless intentionally changed to make a point.
<h3 class="heading settled" data-level=1.4 id=ruby-def><span class=secno>1.4. </span><span class=content>
What is ruby?</span><a class=self-link href=#ruby-def></a></h3>
<p><dfn data-dfn-type=dfn data-noexport="" id=ruby>Ruby<a class=self-link href=#ruby></a></dfn> is the commonly-used name for a run of text
that appears alongside another run of text (referred to as the “base”)
and serves as an annotation or a pronunciation guide associated with that run of text.
<p>The following figures show two examples of Ruby,
a simple case and one with more complicated structure.
<div class=example>
<p>In this first example, a single annotation is used to annotate the base text.
<div class=figure>
<p><img alt="Example of ruby applied on top of a Japanese expression" src=images/licence.png>
<p class=caption>Example of ruby used in Japanese (simple case)
</div>
<p>In Japanese typography, this case is sometimes called
<span lang=ja>taigo</span> ruby or group-ruby (per-word ruby),
because the annotation as a whole is associated
with multi-character word (as a whole).
</div>
<div class=example>
<p>In this second example,
two levels of annotations are attached to a base sequence:
the hiragana characters on top refer to the pronunciation of each of the base kanji characters,
while the words “Keio” and “University” on the bottom are annotations describing the English translation.
<div class=figure>
<p><img alt="Example showing complex ruby with annotation text over and under the base characters" src=images/ruby-univ.gif>
<p class=caption>Complex ruby with annotation text over and under the base characters
</div>
<p>
<p>Notice that to allow correct association between the hiragana characters and
their corresponding Kanji base characters,
the spacing between these Kanji characters is adjusted.
(This happens around the fourth Kanji character in the figure above.)
To avoid variable spacing between the Kanji characters in the example above
the hiragana annotations can be styled as a <i>collapsed annotation</i>,
which will look more like the group-ruby example earlier.
However because the base-annotation pairings are recorded in the ruby structure,
if the text breaks across lines, the annotation characters will stay
correctly paired with their respective base characters.
</div>
<p><i>Ruby</i> formatting as used in Japanese is described in JIS X-4051 <a data-biblio-type=informative data-link-type=biblio href=#biblio-jis4051 title=JIS4051>[JIS4051]</a> (in Japanese)
and in Requirements for Japanese Text Layout <a data-biblio-type=informative data-link-type=biblio href=#biblio-jlreq title=JLREQ>[JLREQ]</a> (in English and Japanese)].
In HTML, ruby structure and markup to represent it is described
in the Ruby Markup Extension specification.
This module describes the CSS rendering model
and formatting controls relevant to ruby layout of such markup.
<h2 class="heading settled" data-level=2 id=ruby-model><span class=secno>2. </span><span class=content>
Ruby Box Model</span><a class=self-link href=#ruby-model></a></h2>
<p>The CSS ruby model is based on
the <a href=http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/text-level-semantics.html#the-ruby-element>W3C HTML5 Ruby Markup</a> model
and the <a href=http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/>XHTML Ruby Annotation Recommendation</a> <a data-biblio-type=informative data-link-type=biblio href=#biblio-ruby title=RUBY>[RUBY]</a>.
In this model, a ruby structure consists of
one or more <i>ruby base</i> elements representing the base (annotated) text,
associated with one or more levels of <i>ruby annotation</i> elements representing the annotations.
The structure of ruby is similar to that of a table:
there are “rows” (the <i title="base level">base text level</i>, each <i>annotation level</i>)
and “columns” (each <i>ruby base</i> and its corresponding <i>ruby annotations</i>).
<p>Consecutive bases and annotations are grouped together into <i>ruby segments</i>.
Within a <i>ruby segment</i>, a <i>ruby annotation</i> may span multiple <i>ruby bases</i>.
<p class=note role=note>In HTML, a single <code><ruby></code> element may contain multiple <i>ruby segments</i>.
(In the XHTML Ruby model, a single <code><ruby></code> element can only contain one <i>ruby segment</i>.)
<h3 class="heading settled" data-level=2.1 id=ruby-display><span class=secno>2.1. </span><span class=content>
Ruby-specific <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=#propdef-display>display</a> Values</span><a class=self-link href=#ruby-display></a></h3>
<p>For document languages (such as XML applications) that do not have pre-defined ruby elements,
authors must map document language elements to ruby elements;
this is done with the <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=#propdef-display>display</a> property.

<p>The following new <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=#propdef-display>display</a> values assign ruby layout roles to an arbitrary element:

</dl>
<p class=advisement>Authors using a language (such as HTML)
that supports dedicated ruby markup
should use that markup rather than
styling arbitrary elements (like <code><span></code>)
with ruby <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=#propdef-display>display</a> values.
Using the correct markup ensures that screen readers
and non-CSS renderers can interpret the ruby structures.
<h4 class="heading settled" data-level=2.1.1 id=formatting-context><span class=secno>2.1.1. </span><span class=content>
The Ruby Formatting Context</span><a class=self-link href=#formatting-context></a></h4>
<p><i>Ruby containers</i> are non-atomic inline-level boxes.
Like inline boxes, they break across lines,
and their containing block is the nearest block container ancestor.
And just as the contents of an inline box
participate in the same inline formatting context that contains the inline box itself,
a <i>ruby container</i> and its base-level contents
participate in the same inline formatting context that contains the <i>ruby container</i> itself.
<p>However <i>ruby containers</i> also establish a <dfn data-dfn-type=dfn data-noexport="" id=ruby-formatting-context>ruby formatting context<a class=self-link href=#ruby-formatting-context></a></dfn>
that builds further structure around their segment of the inline formatting context.
<i>Ruby bases</i>, <i>ruby annotations</i>, <i>ruby base containers</i>, and <i>ruby annotation containers</i>
are <dfn data-dfn-type=dfn data-noexport="" id=internal-ruby-boxes title="internal ruby boxes|internal ruby display types">internal ruby boxes<a class=self-link href=#internal-ruby-boxes></a></dfn>:
like <i>internal table elements</i>,
they have specific roles in ruby layout,
and participate in their <i>ruby container</i>’s <i>ruby formatting context</i>.
<p>As with the contents of inline boxes,
the containing block for the contents of a <i>ruby container</i> (and all its <i>internal ruby boxes</i>)
is the containing block of the <i>ruby container</i>.
So floats, for example, are trapped by the <i>ruby container</i>’s containing block,
not any of the ruby box types.

Non-Inline Ruby</span><a class=self-link href=#block-ruby></a></h4>
<p>If an element has a computed <i>inner display type</i> of <a class=css data-link-type=maybe href=#valdef-display-ruby>ruby</a>
and a computed computed <i>outer display type</i> other than <a class=css data-link-type=maybe href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-display-3/#valdef-display-outside-inline-level>inline-level</a>,
then it generates two boxes:
a principal block container box of the required <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-display-3/#propdef-display-outside>display-outside</a> type,
and an inline-level <i>ruby container</i>.
All properties specified on the element apply to the principal box
(and if inheritable, inherit to the <i>ruby container box</i>).
This allows styling the element as a block,
while correctly maintaining the internal ruby structure.
<p class=note role=note>
Note: There is no dedicated block-level <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=#propdef-display>display</a> shorthand keyword
because ruby is fundamentally an inline layout feature.
<p class=note role=note>
Note that absolute positioning or floating an element causes its <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=#propdef-display>display</a> value
to compute to a block-level equivalent. (See <a data-biblio-type=normative data-link-type=biblio href=#biblio-css3-display title=CSS3-DISPLAY>[CSS3-DISPLAY]</a> or <a data-biblio-type=normative data-link-type=biblio href=#biblio-css21 title=CSS21>[CSS21]</a> section 9.7.)

Anonymous Ruby Box Generation</span><a class=self-link href=#box-fixup></a></h3>
<p>The CSS model does not require that the document language
include elements that correspond to each of these components.
Missing parts of the structure are implied through the anonymous box generation rules
<a href=http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#anonymous-boxes>similar to those used to normalize tables</a>. <a data-biblio-type=normative data-link-type=biblio href=#biblio-css21 title=CSS21>[CSS21]</a>

Any <a href=http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#anonymous-boxes>consecutive</a> sequence of
improperly-contained

<i>ruby bases</i>,
and/or
<i>ruby annotations</i>
(and any intervening <i>white space</i>)
is wrapped in an anonymous <i>ruby container</i>.
For the purpose of this step:
<ul>
<li>an improperly-contained <i>ruby base</i> is one not parented by a <i>ruby base container</i> or <i>ruby container</i>
<li>an improperly-contained <i>ruby annotation</i> is one not parented by a <i>ruby annotation container</i> or <i>ruby container</i>
<li>an improperly-contained <i>ruby base container</i> or <i>ruby annotation container</i>
is one not parented by a <i>ruby container</i>
</ul>
<li id=anon-gen-inlinize><a class=self-link href=#anon-gen-inlinize></a><strong>Inlinize block-level boxes:</strong>
Any in-flow block-level boxes directly contained by a

<i>ruby annotation container</i>,
<i>ruby base box</i>,
or <i>ruby annotation box</i>
are forced to be inline-level boxes,
and their <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=#propdef-display>display</a> value computed accordingly.
For example,
the <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=#propdef-display>display</a> property of an in-flow element with <a class=css data-link-type=propdesc href=#propdef-display title=display>display: block</a>
parented by an element with <a class=css data-link-type=propdesc href=#propdef-display title=display>display: ruby-text</a>
computes to <a class=css data-link-type=maybe href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-display-3/#valdef-display-inline-block>inline-block</a>.
This computation occurs after any intermediary anonymous-box fixup
(such as that required by internal table elements).
<li id=anony-gen-trim-space><a class=self-link href=#anony-gen-trim-space></a><strong>Trim leading/trailing white space:</strong>

Annotation Pairing</span><a class=self-link href=#ruby-pairing></a></h3>
<p>Annotation <dfn data-dfn-type=dfn data-noexport="" id=pairing>pairing<a class=self-link href=#pairing></a></dfn> is the process of associating
<i>ruby annotations</i> with <i>ruby bases</i>.
Each <i>ruby annotation</i> is associated with one or more <i>ruby bases</i>,
and is said to <dfn data-dfn-type=dfn data-noexport="" id=span>span<a class=self-link href=#span></a></dfn> those bases.
(A <i>ruby annotation</i> that <i>spans</i> multiple bases is called
a <dfn data-dfn-type=dfn data-noexport="" id=spanning-annotation>spanning annotation<a class=self-link href=#spanning-annotation></a></dfn>.)
<p>A <i>ruby base</i> is can be associated with
only one <i>ruby annotation</i> per <i>annotation level</i>.
However, if there are multiple <i>annotation levels</i>,
it can be associated with multiple <i>ruby annotations</i>.</p>
<p>Once pairing is complete, ruby “column” units are defined,
each represented by a single <i>ruby base</i>
and one <i>ruby annotation</i> (possibly an empty, anonymous one)
from each <i>annotation level</i> in its <i>ruby segment</i>.</p>
<h4 class="heading settled" data-level=2.3.1 id=segment-pairing><span class=secno>2.3.1. </span><span class=content>
Segment Pairing and Annotation Levels</span><a class=self-link href=#segment-pairing></a></h4>
<p>A ruby structure is divided into <dfn data-dfn-type=dfn data-noexport="" id=ruby-segments>ruby segments<a class=self-link href=#ruby-segments></a></dfn>,
each consisting of a single <i>ruby base container</i>
followed by one or more <i>ruby annotation containers</i>.
Each <i>ruby annotation container</i> in a <i>ruby segment</i>
represents one <dfn data-dfn-type=dfn data-noexport="" id=annotation-level title="annotation level | level">level<a class=self-link href=#annotation-level></a></dfn> of annotation for the base text:
the first one represents the first level of annotation,
the second one represents the second level of annotation,
and so on.
The <i>ruby base container</i> represents the <dfn data-dfn-type=dfn data-noexport="" id=base-level>base level<a class=self-link href=#base-level></a></dfn>.
The <i>ruby base container</i> in each segment is thus paired
with each of the <i>ruby annotation containers</i> in that segment.
<p>In order to handle degenerate cases, some empty anonymous containers are assumed:
<ul>
<li>If the first child of a <i>ruby container</i> is a <i>ruby annotation container</i>,
an anonymous, empty <i>ruby base container</i> is assumed to exist before it.
<li>Similarly, if the <i>ruby container</i> contains consecutive <i>ruby base containers</i>,
anonymous, empty <i>ruby annotation containers</i> are assumed to exist between them.
</ul>
<p><i>Inter-segment white space</i> is effectively a <i>ruby segment</i> of its own.
<h4 class="heading settled" data-level=2.3.2 id=base-annotation-pairing><span class=secno>2.3.2. </span><span class=content>
Unit Pairing and Spanning Annotations</span><a class=self-link href=#base-annotation-pairing></a></h4>
<p>Within a <i>ruby segment</i>,
each <i>ruby base</i> in the <i>ruby base container</i>
is paired with one <i>ruby annotation</i>
from each <i>ruby annotation container</i> in its <i>ruby segment</i>.
<p>If a <i>ruby annotation container</i> contains only
a single, anonymous <i>ruby annotation</i>,
then that <i>ruby annotation</i> is paired with (i.e. <i>spans</i> across)
all of the <i>ruby bases</i> in its <i>ruby segment</i>.
<p>Otherwise, each <i>ruby annotation</i> is paired,
in order, with the corresponding <i>ruby base</i> in that segment.
If there are not enough <i>ruby annotations</i> in a <i>ruby annotation container</i>,
the remaining <i>ruby bases</i> are paired with anonymous empty annotations
inserted at the end of the <i>ruby annotation container</i>.
If there are not enough <i>ruby bases</i>,
any remaining <i>ruby annotations</i> pair with empty, anonymous bases
inserted at the end of the <i>ruby base container</i>.
<p>If an implementation supports ruby markup with explicit spanning
(e.g. XHTML Complex Ruby Annotations),
it must adjust the pairing rules to pair <i>spanning annotations</i>
to their bases appropriately.
<p><i>Intra-level white space</i> does not participate in standard annotation <i>pairing</i>.
However, if the immediately-adjacent <i>ruby bases</i> or <i>ruby annotations</i>
are paired
<ul>
<li>with two <i>ruby bases</i> or <i title="ruby annotations">annotations</i>
that surround corresponding <i>intra-level white space</i> in another level,
then the so-corresponding <i>intra-level white space</i> boxes are also paired.
<li>with a single spanning <i>ruby annotation</i>,
then the <i>intra-level white space</i> is also paired to that <i>ruby annotation</i>
<li>with two <i>ruby bases</i> or <i title="ruby annotations">annotations</i>
with no intervening <i>intra-level white space</i>,
then the <i>intra-level white space</i> box pairs with
an anonymous empty <i>intra-level white space</i> box assumed to exist between them.
</ul>

Complex Spanning with Nested Ruby</span><a class=self-link href=#nested-pairing></a></h4>
<p><dfn data-dfn-type=dfn data-noexport="" id=nested-ruby title="nested ruby"><a class=self-link href=#nested-ruby></a></dfn>When <i>ruby containers</i> are nested,
pairing begins with the deepest <i>ruby container</i>,
then expands out.
From the pairing perspective of the outer <i>ruby container</i>,
each <i>ruby container</i> nested within another <i>ruby container</i>
counts as representing a single <i>ruby base</i>/<i>annotation</i> per level.
The outer <i>ruby container</i>’s <i>ruby annotations</i> paired to the <i>nested ruby</i>
are therefore paired with (and <i>span</i>) all of the nested <i>ruby container</i>’s <i>ruby bases</i>.
Each <i>ruby annotation container</i> in the nested <i>ruby container</i>
occupies the same <i>annotation level</i> in the outer <i>ruby container</i>
as it does in the inner one
and participates in its layout as if it were directly contained in the outer <i>ruby container</i>.
<p>This process is recursive.
Thus, using nested <i>ruby containers</i> allows the representation
of complex spanning relationships.
<p class=issue id=issue-9b177ca3><a class=self-link href=#issue-9b177ca3></a>It’s not clear whether this falls out of layout handling of ruby containers inside ruby bases
or needs to be handled specially.
Waiting until layout is better-defined to find out...

Autohiding Base-identical Annotations</span><a class=self-link href=#autohide></a></h3>
<p>If a <i>ruby annotation</i> has the exact same text content as its base,
it is <dfn data-dfn-type=dfn data-noexport="" id=hidden-ruby-annotation title="hidden ruby annotation | hidden annotation">hidden<a class=self-link href=#hidden-ruby-annotation></a></dfn>.
Hiding a <i>ruby annotation</i> does not affect annotation pairing
or the block-axis positioning of boxes in other <i>levels</i>.
However the <i>hidden annotation</i> is not visible,
and it has no impact on layout
other than to separate adjacent sequences of <i>ruby annotation boxes</i> within its level,
as if they belonged to separate segments
and the <i>hidden annotation</i>’s base were not a <i>ruby base</i> but an intervening inline.
<div class=example>
<p>This is to allow correct inlined display of annotations
for Japanese words that are a mix of kanji and hiragana.
For example, the word <span lang=ja>振り仮名</span> should be inlined as
<p class=figure>振り仮名(ふりがな)
<p>and therefore marked up as
<pre><ruby>
<rb>振</rb><rb>り</rb><rb>仮</rb><rb>名</rb>
<rp>(</rp><rt>ふ</rt><rt>り</rt><rt>が</rt><rt>な</rt><rp>)</rp>
<ruby></pre>
<p>However, when displayed as ruby, the “り” should be hidden
<div class=figure>
<p><img alt="Hiragana annotations for 振り仮名 appear, each pronunciation above its kanji base character." src=images/furigana-separate.png>
<p class=caption>Hiragana ruby for 振り仮名. Notice there is no hiragana annotation above り, since it is already in hiragana.
</div>
</div>
<p>The content comparison for this auto-hiding behavior
takes place prior to white space collapsing (<a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-text-3/#propdef-white-space>white-space</a>) and text transformation (<a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-text-3/#propdef-text-transform>text-transform</a>)
and ignores elements (considers only the <code>textContent</code> of the boxes).
<p class=note role=note>
Future levels of CSS Ruby may add controls for auto-hiding,
but in this level it is always forced.
<h3 class="heading settled" data-level=2.5 id=white-space><span class=secno>2.5. </span><span class=content>
White Space Collapsing</span><a class=self-link href=#white-space></a></h3>
<p>White space within a ruby structure is <a href=#anon-gen-discard-space>discarded</a>
<ul>
<li>at the beginning and end of a <i>ruby container</i>, <i>ruby annotation container</i>, or <i>ruby base container</i>,
<li>between a <i>ruby base container</i> and its following <i>ruby annotation container</i>,
<li>between <i>ruby annotation containers</i>.
</ul>
<div class=example>
For example, the following markup will display without any spaces:
<pre><ruby>
<rb>東</rb><rb>京</rb>
<rt>とう</rt><rt>きょう</rt>
<rt>Tō</rt><rt>kyō</rt>
</ruby></pre>
</div>
<p>Between <i>ruby segments</i>, between <i>ruby bases</i>, and between <i>ruby annotations</i>, however,
white space is not discarded,
and is maintained for rendering
as <i title="inter-base white space">inter-base</i>,
<i title="inter-annotation white space">inter-annotation</i>,
or <i>inter-segment white space</i>.
(See <a href=#box-fixup>Anonymous Ruby Box Generation</a>, above.)
<div class=example>
<p>The rules preserving white space allow ruby to be used with space-separated scripts such as Latin.
For example,
<pre><ruby>
<rb>W</rb><rb>W</rb><rb>W</rb>
<rt>World</rt> <rt>Wide</rt> <rt>Web</rt>
</ruby></pre>
<p>They also ensure that annotated white space is preserved. For example,
<pre><ruby>
<rb>Aerith</rb><rb> </rb><rb>Gainsboro</rb>
<rt>エアリス</rt><rt>・</rt><rt>ゲインズブール</rt>
</ruby></pre>
</div>
<p>Where undiscarded white space is <i>collapsible</i>, it will collapse
following the standard <a href=http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#white-space-rules>white space processing rules</a>. <a data-biblio-type=normative data-link-type=biblio href=#biblio-css3text title=CSS3TEXT>[CSS3TEXT]</a>
For <i>collapsible white space</i> between <i>ruby segments</i> (<i>inter-segment white space</i>), however,
the contextual text for determining collapsing behavior is given by the <i>ruby bases</i> on either side,
not the text on either side of the white space in source document order.
<div class=note role=note>
<p>Note that the white space processing rules
cause a white space sequence containing a <i>segment break</i> (such as a line feed)
to <a href=http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#line-break-transform>collapse to nothing</a> between Han and Kana characters.
This means that Chinese and Japanese ruby can safely use white space for indentation of ruby markup.
For example, the following markup will display without any spaces:
<pre><ruby>
屋<rt>おく</rt>内<rt>ない</rt>
禁<rt>きん</rt>煙<rt>えん</rt>
</ruby></pre>
<p>However, white space that does not contain a <i>segment break</i> does not collapse completely away,
so this markup will display with a space between the first and second ruby pairs:
<pre><ruby>
屋<rt>おく</rt> 内<rt>ない</rt>
禁<rt>きん</rt> 煙<rt>えん</rt>
</ruby></pre>
</div>
<h2 class="heading settled" data-level=3 id=ruby-layout><span class=secno>3. </span><span class=content>
Ruby Layout</span><a class=self-link href=#ruby-layout></a></h2>
<p>When a ruby structure is laid out,
its <i>base level</i> is laid out on the line,
aligned according to its <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css2/visudet.html#propdef-vertical-align>vertical-align</a> property
exactly as if its <i>ruby bases</i> were a regular sequence of inline boxes.
Each <i>ruby base container</i> is sized and positioned
to contain exactly the full height of its <i>ruby bases</i>.
<p><i>Ruby annotations</i> associated with the <i>base level</i>
are then positioned with respect to their <i>ruby base boxes</i>
according to the applicable <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=#propdef-ruby-position>ruby-position</a> values.
<i>Ruby annotations</i> within a level (within a single <i>ruby container</i>)
are aligned to each other as if they were inline boxes
participating in the same inline formatting context.
Each <i>ruby annotation container</i> is sized and positioned
to contain exactly the full height of its <i>ruby annotations</i>.
<p>A ruby container (or fragment thereof)
measures as wide as the content of its widest level.
Similarly, <i>ruby base boxes</i> and <i>ruby annotation boxes</i>
within a ruby “column” have the measure of the widest content in that “column”.
In the case of <i>spanning annotations</i>
(whether actually spanning or pretending to span per <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=#propdef-ruby-merge>ruby-merge</a>),
the measures of the <i>ruby annotation box</i> and
the sum of its associated <i>ruby base boxes</i> must match.
<p>How the extra space is distributed
when ruby content is narrower than the measure of its box
is specified by the <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=#propdef-ruby-align>ruby-align</a> property.
<h3 class="heading settled" data-level=3.1 id=inter-character-layout><span class=secno>3.1. </span><span class=content>
Inter-character Ruby Layout</span><a class=self-link href=#inter-character-layout></a></h3>
<p>Inter-character annotations have special layout.
When <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=#propdef-ruby-position>ruby-position</a> indicates <a class=css data-link-type=maybe href=#valdef-ruby-position-inter-character>inter-character</a> annotations,
the affected <i>ruby annotation boxes</i>
are spliced into and measured as part of the layout of the <i>base level</i>.
The <i>ruby base container</i> must be sized to include both the <i>ruby base boxes</i>
as well as the <a class=css data-link-type=maybe href=#valdef-ruby-position-inter-character>inter-character</a> <i>ruby annotation boxes</i>.
The affected <i>ruby annotation container</i> is similarly sized
so that its content box coincides with that of the <i>ruby base container</i>.
<p>For the purpose of laying out other levels of annotations,
an <a class=css data-link-type=maybe href=#valdef-ruby-position-inter-character>inter-character</a> annotation effectively becomes part of its base.
<span class=issue id=issue-029133da><a class=self-link href=#issue-029133da></a>Or should it become a quasi-base between two bases?</span>
A spanning <a class=css data-link-type=maybe href=#valdef-ruby-position-inter-character>inter-character</a> annotation is placed after
all the bases that it spans.

Styling Ruby Boxes</span><a class=self-link href=#box-style></a></h3>
<p>In most respects, ruby boxes can be styled similar to inline boxes.
However, the UA is not required to support
any of the box properties (borders, margins, padding),
any of the background properties or outline properties,
or any other property that illustrates the bounds of the box
on <i>ruby base container boxes</i>, <i>ruby annotation container boxes</i>,
or <a href=#nested-pairing>ruby-internal ruby container boxes</a>.
The UA may implement these boxes simply as abstractions for inheritance
and control over the layout of their contents.
<h3 class="heading settled" data-level=3.3 id=line-breaks><span class=secno>3.3. </span><span class=content>
Breaking Across Lines</span><a class=self-link href=#line-breaks></a></h3>
<p>When there is not enough space for an entire <i>ruby container</i> to fit on the line,
the ruby may be broken wherever all levels simultaneously allow a break.
Ruby most often breaks between base-annotation sets,
but if the line-breaking rules allow it, can also break within a <i>ruby base</i>
(and, in parallel, its associated <i>ruby annotation boxes</i>).
<p>Whenever ruby breaks across lines, <i>ruby annotations</i> must stay
with their respective <i>ruby bases</i>.
The line <em>must not</em> break between a <i>ruby base</i> and its <i>annotations</i>,
even in the case of <a class=css data-link-type=maybe href=#valdef-ruby-position-inter-character>inter-character</a> <i>annotations</i>.
<div class=figure>

Breaking Between Bases</span><a class=self-link href=#break-between></a></h4>
<p>In typical cases, <i>ruby base boxes</i> and <i>ruby annotation boxes</i>
are styled to forbid internal line wrapping and do not contain forced breaks.
(See <a href=#default-stylesheet>Appendix A</a>.)
In such cases the <i>ruby container</i> can only break between adjacent <i>ruby bases</i>,
and only if no <i>ruby annotations</i> span those <i>ruby bases</i>.
<div class=figure>
<p><img alt="Diagram showing the line breaking opportunity in a complex ruby" src=images/r-break-a.gif>
<p class=caption>Ruby line breaking opportunity
</div>
<p>Whether ruby can break between two adjacent <i>ruby bases</i>
is controlled by normal line-breaking rules for the base text,
exactly as if the <i>ruby bases</i> were adjacent inline boxes.
(The annotations are ignored when determining soft wrap opportunities for the <i>base level</i>.)
<div class=example>
<p>For example, if two adjacent ruby bases are “蝴” and “蝶”,
the line may break between them,
because lines are normally allowed to break between two Han characters.
However, if <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-text-3/#propdef-word-break>word-break</a> is <a class=css data-link-type=maybe href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-text-3/#valdef-word-break-keep-all>keep-all</a>, that line break is forbidden.
<pre><ruby>蝴<rt>hú</rt>蝶<rt>dié</rt></pre>
</div>
<p>Inter-base white space is significant for evaluating line break opportunities between <i>ruby bases</i>.
As with white space between inlines, it collapses when the line breaks there.
Similarly, annotation white space is also trimmed at a line break.
<div class=example>
<p>For example, given the following markup:
<pre><ruby><rb>one</rb> <rb>two</rb> <rt>1</rt> <rt>2</rt></ruby></pre>
<p>Due to the space, the line may break between “one” and “two“.
If the line breaks there, that space—and the space between “1” and “2”—disappears,
in accordance with standard CSS white space processing rules. <a data-biblio-type=informative data-link-type=biblio href=#biblio-css3text title=CSS3TEXT>[CSS3TEXT]</a>

Breaking Within Bases</span><a class=self-link href=#break-within></a></h4>
<p>For longer base texts, it is sometimes appropriate to allow breaking within a base-annotation pair.
For example, if an English sentence is annotated with its Japanese translation,
allowing the text to wrap allows for reasonable line breaking behavior in the paragraph.
<p class=issue id=issue-14d7c6b1><a class=self-link href=#issue-14d7c6b1></a>
Insert scanned example so people don’t think this is just the ramblings of an insane spec-writer.
<p>Line-breaking within a <i>ruby base</i> is only allowed if the <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-text-3/#propdef-white-space>white-space</a> property
of the <i>ruby base</i> and all its parallel <i>annotations</i> allow it,
and there exists a <i>soft wrap opportunity</i> <em>within</em> (i.e. not at the start or end)
the content of each base/annotation box.
Since there is no structural correspondence between fragments of content
within <i>ruby bases</i> and <i>annotations</i>,
the UA may break at any set of opportunities;
but it is recommended that the UA attempt to proportionally balance
the amount of content inside each fragment.
<p>There are no line breaking opportunities within <a class=css data-link-type=maybe href=#valdef-ruby-position-inter-character>inter-character</a> <i>annotations</i>.
<p>Ruby alignment takes place within each fragment, after line-breaking.
<h3 class="heading settled" data-level=3.4 id=bidi><span class=secno>3.4. </span><span class=content>
Bidi Reordering</span><a class=self-link href=#bidi></a></h3>
<p>The Unicode bidirectional algorithm reorders logically-stored text for visual presentation
when characters from scripts of opposing directionalities are mixed
within a single paragraph.
<p>To preserve the correspondance of <i>ruby annotations</i>
to their respective <i>ruby bases</i>,
a few restrictions must be imposed:
<ul>
<li>The contents of a <i>ruby base</i> or <i>ruby annotation</i> must remain contiguous.
<li><i>Ruby annotations</i> must be reordered together with their <i>ruby bases</i>.
<li>All <i>ruby bases</i> spanned by a single <i>ruby annotation</i> must remain contiguous.
</ul>
<p>To this end,
<ul>
<li>
Bidi isolation is forced on all <i>internal ruby boxes</i> and the <i>ruby container</i>:
the <a class=css data-link-type=maybe href=http://dev.w3.org/fxtf/compositing-1/#valdef-blend-mode-normal>normal</a> and <a class=css data-link-type=maybe href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-writing-modes-3/#valdef-unicode-bidi-embed>embed</a> values of <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-writing-modes-3/#propdef-unicode-bidi>unicode-bidi</a> compute to <a class=css data-link-type=maybe href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-writing-modes-3/#valdef-unicode-bidi-isolate>isolate</a>,
and <a class=css data-link-type=maybe href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-writing-modes-3/#valdef-unicode-bidi-bidi-override>bidi-override</a> computes to <a class=css data-link-type=maybe href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-writing-modes-3/#valdef-unicode-bidi-isolate-override>isolate-override</a>.
<p class=note role=note>
Note this means that implicit bidi reordering does not work across ruby bases,
so authors will need to ensure that the <i>ruby container</i>’s declared directionality
does indeed match its contents.
<li>
During layout, <i>ruby segments</i> are ordered within the <i>ruby container</i>
by the <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-writing-modes-3/#propdef-direction>direction</a> property of their <i>ruby container</i>.
<li>
Within a segment, <i>ruby bases</i> and <i>ruby annotations</i>
are ordered within their respective containers
by the <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-writing-modes-3/#propdef-direction>direction</a> property of the segment’s <i>ruby base container</i>.
<span class=note role=note>
Note this means the <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-writing-modes-3/#propdef-direction>direction</a> property on <i>ruby annotation containers</i>
is ignored for the purpose of layout.
However, it can still inherit into the container’s children
and thereby affect the <i>inline base direction</i>
of any <i>ruby annotations</i> it contains.
</span>
</ul>
<p>As with other inline-level content,
the bidi reordering of <i>internal ruby boxes</i> happens after line-breaking
so that content is divided across lines according to its logical order.
<p>See <a data-biblio-type=informative data-link-type=biblio href=#biblio-css3-writing-modes title=CSS3-WRITING-MODES>[CSS3-WRITING-MODES]</a> for a more in-depth discussion of bidirectional text in CSS.
<h3 class="heading settled" data-level=3.5 id=line-height><span class=secno>3.5. </span><span class=content>
Line Spacing</span><a class=self-link href=#line-height></a></h3>
<p>The <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css2/visudet.html#propdef-line-height>line-height</a> property controls spacing between lines in CSS.
When inline content on line is shorter than the <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css2/visudet.html#propdef-line-height>line-height</a>,
half-leading is added on either side of the content,
as specified in <a href=http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#line-height>CSS2.1§10.8</a>. <a data-biblio-type=normative data-link-type=biblio href=#biblio-css21 title=CSS21>[CSS21]</a>
<p>In order to ensure consistent spacing of lines,
documents with ruby typically ensure that the <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css2/visudet.html#propdef-line-height>line-height</a> is large enough
to accommodate ruby between lines of text.
Therefore, ordinarily, <i>ruby annotation containers</i> and <i>ruby annotation boxes</i>
do not contribute to the measured height of a line’s inline contents;
any alignment (see <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css2/visudet.html#propdef-vertical-align>vertical-align</a>) and line-height calculations
are performed using only the <i>ruby base container</i>,
exactly as if it were a normal inline.
<p>However, if the <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css2/visudet.html#propdef-line-height>line-height</a> specified on the <i>ruby container</i>
is less than the distance between
the top of the top <i>ruby annotation container</i>
and the bottom of the bottom <i>ruby annotation container</i>,
then additional leading is added
on the appropriate side of the <i>ruby base container</i>
such that if a block consisted of three lines
each containing ruby identical to this,
none of the <i>ruby containers</i> would overlap.
<p class=note role=note>Note that this does not ensure that the <i>ruby annotations</i> remain within the line box.
It merely ensures that <em>if all lines had equal spacing</em>
and equivalent amounts and positioning of <i>ruby annotations</i>,
there would be enough room to avoid overlap.
<p>Authors should ensure appropriate <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css2/visudet.html#propdef-line-height>line-height</a> and <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css2/box.html#propdef-padding>padding</a> to accommodate ruby,
and be particularly careful at the beginning or end of a block
and when a line contains inline-level content
(such as images, inline blocks, or elements shifted with <a class=property data-link-type=propdesc href=http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css2/visudet.html#propdef-vertical-align>vertical-align</a>)
taller than the paragraph’s default font size.
