“Ruby” are short runs of text alongside the base text,
typically used in East Asian documents to indicate pronunciation
or to provide a short annotation.
This module describes the rendering model and formatting controls
related to displaying ruby annotations in CSS.

<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS/">CSS</a> is a language for describing
the rendering of structured documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on
paper, in speech, etc.

Introduction</h2>
<p><em>This section is not normative.</em>
<h3 id="placement">
Module interactions</h3>
<p>This module extends the inline box model of CSS Level 2 [[!CSS21]]
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 id="values">
Values</h3>
<p>This specification follows the
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/about.html#property-defs">CSS property
definition conventions</a> from [[!CSS21]]. Value types not defined in
this specification are defined in CSS Level 2 Revision 1 [[!CSS21]].
Other CSS modules may expand the definitions of these value types: for
example [[CSS3VAL]], 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 id="conventions">
Document conventions</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" width="39" height="39" src="images/fullwidth.gif">
<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" width="19" height="39" src="images/halfwidth.gif">
<dd>Narrow-cell glyph (e.g. Roman) which is the <var>n</var>th glyph in the text run.
<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 id="ruby-def">
What is ruby?</h3>
<p><dfn>Ruby</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 src="images/licence.png"
alt="Example of ruby applied on top of a Japanese expression">
<p class="caption">Example of ruby used in Japanese (simple case)
</div>
<p>In Japanese typography, this case is sometimes called
<i lang="ja">taigo</i> 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,

<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.

<i>Ruby</i> formatting as used in Japanese is described in JIS X-4051 [[JIS4051]] (in Japanese)
and in Requirements for Japanese Text Layout [[JLREQ]] (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 id="ruby-model">
Ruby Formatting Model</h2>
<p>The CSS ruby model is based on
the <a href="http://darobin.github.io/html-ruby/">HTML Ruby Markup Extension</a>
and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/">XHTML Ruby Annotation Recommendation</a> [[RUBY]].
In this model, a ruby structure consists of
one or more <dfn>ruby base</dfn> elements representing the base (annotated) text,
associated with one or more levels of <dfn>ruby annotation</dfn> elements representing the annotations.
The structure of ruby is similar to that of a table:
there are “rows” (the base text level, each annotation level)
and “columns” (each <i>ruby base</i> and its corresponding <i>ruby annotations</i>).
<p>Consecutive bases and annotations are grouped together into <dfn>ruby segments</dfn>.
Within a <i>ruby segment</i>, a <i>ruby annotation</i> may span multiple <i>ruby bases<i>.
<p class="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 id="ruby-display">
Ruby-specific 'display' property values</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 'display' property.
<table class="propdef">
<tr>
<th>Name:
<td>display
<tr>
<th><a href="#values">New Values</a>:
<td>ruby | ruby-base | ruby-text | ruby-base-container | ruby-text-container
</table>
<p>The following new 'display' values assign ruby layout roles to an arbitrary element:
<dl>
<dt>''ruby''
<dd>Specifies that an element generates a <dfn title="ruby container | ruby container box">ruby container box</dfn>.
(Corresponds to HTML/XHTML <code><ruby></code> elements.)
<dt>''ruby-base''
<dd>Specifies that an element generates a <dfn title="ruby base box | ruby base">ruby base box</dfn>.
(Corresponds to HTML/XHTML <code><rb></code> elements.)
<dt>''ruby-text''
<dd>Specifies that an element generates a <dfn title="ruby annotation box | ruby annotation">ruby annotation box</dfn>.
(Corresponds to HTML/XHTML <code><rt></code> elements.)
<dt>''ruby-base-container''
<dd>Specifies that an element generates a <dfn title="ruby base container box | ruby base container">ruby base container box</dfn>.
(Corresponds to XHTML <code><rbc></code> elements; always implied in HTML.)
<dt>''ruby-text-container''
<dd>Specifies that an element generates a <dfn title="ruby annotation container box | ruby annotation container">ruby annotation container box</dfn>.
(Corresponds to HTML/XHTML <code><ruby></code> elements.)
</dl>
<h3 id="box-fixup">
Anonymous Ruby Box Generation</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>. [[!CSS21]]
<ol>
<li>Any in-flow block-level boxes directly contained by a
<i>ruby container</i>,
<i>ruby base container</i>,
<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 'display' value computed accordingly.
For example,
the 'display' property of an in-flow element with ''display: block''
parented by an element with ''display: ruby-text''
computes to ''inline-block''.
This computation occurs after any intermediary anonymous-box fixup
(such as that required by internal table elements).
<li>Any consecutive sequence of <i>ruby bases</i> not parented by a <i>ruby base container</i>
is wrapped in an anonymous <i>ruby base container</i>.
Similarly, any consecutive sequence of <i>ruby annotations</i> not parented by a <i>ruby annotation container</i>
is wrapped in an anonymous <i>ruby annotation container</i>.
<li>Within each <i>ruby base container</i>,
each sequence of inline-level boxes is wrapped in an anonymous <i>ruby base box</i>.
Similarly, within each <i>ruby annotation container</i>,
each sequence of inline-level boxes is wrapped in an anonymous <i>ruby annotation box</i>.
<li>A sequence of <i>ruby base containers</i> and/or <i>ruby annotation containers</i>
not parented by a <i>ruby container</i>
is wrapped in an anonymous <i>ruby container</i>.
</ol>
<p>At this point, all ruby layout structures are properly parented,
and the UA can start to associate bases with their annotations.
<p class="note">
Note that the UA is not required to create any of these anonymous boxes in its internal structures,
as long as pairing and layout behaves as if they existed.
<h3 id="pairing">
Ruby Pairing and Annotation Levels</h3>
<p>Within a ruby structure,
each <i>ruby bases</i> are associated with <i>ruby annotations</i>
and vice versa.
A <i>ruby base</i> can be associated with at most one <i>ruby annotation</i> per annotation level.
If there are multiple annotation levels, it can therefore be associated with multiple <i>ruby annotations</i>.
A <i>ruby annotation</i> is associated with one or more <i>ruby bases</i>;
annotations can span multiple bases.
<p><dfn>Annotation pairing</dfn> is the process of associating
<i>ruby annotations</i> with <i>ruby bases</i>.
<ol>
<li>
<p>First, the ruby structure is divided into <i>ruby segments</i>,
each consisting of a single <i>ruby base container</i>
followed by one or more <i>ruby annotation containers</i>.
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.
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.
The <i>ruby base container</i> in each segment is thus associated
with each of the <i>ruby annotation containers</i> in that segment.
<p>Each <i>ruby annotation containers</i> in a <i>ruby segment</i>
represents one <dfn title="annotation level | level">level</dfn> of annotation:
the first one represents the first level of annotation,
the second one represents the second level of annotation,
and so on.
<li>Within each <i>ruby segment</i>,
each <i>ruby base box</i> in the <i>ruby base container</i>
is paired with one <i>ruby annotation box</i>
from each <i>ruby annotation container</i> in its <i>ruby segment</i>.
If there are not enough <i>ruby annotations</i> in a <i>ruby annotation container</i>,
the last one is associated with any excess <i>ruby bases</i>.
(If there are not any in the <i>ruby annotation container</i>, an anonymous empty one is assumed to exist.)
If there are not enough <i>ruby bases</i>,
any remaining <i>ruby annotations</i> are assumed to be associated
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 spanning annotations to multiple bases
appropriately.
</ol>
<p>A this point, ruby “columns” are defined,
each represented by a single <i>ruby base</i>
and associated with one <i>ruby annotation</i> (possibly an empty, anonymous one)
from each <i>annotation level</i>.
<h4 id="nested-pairing">
Nested Ruby</h4>
<p>When <i>ruby containers</i> are nested,
pairing begins with the deepest <i>ruby container</i>,
then expands out,
treating each <i>ruby container</i> nested within another <i>ruby container</i>
as a <i>ruby base</i>,
and associating each <i>ruby annotation</i>
associated with the nested <i>ruby container</i>
as being associated with (spanning) all of its <i>ruby bases</i>.
<p>Using nested <i>ruby containers</i> thus allows the representation
of complex spanning relationships.
<p class="issue">This shouldn't belong in Level 1. But HTML5 allows it, so we have to handle it. Yay HTML5.

Generating Ruby Structure</h3>

<h3 id="box-model">
Ruby box model</h3>
<p>In the following description, the elements specified by Ruby
Annotation [[RUBY]] are used to describe the box model. As mentioned
earlier, a user agent can obtain the same results by using the Ruby specific 'display'
property values. </p>
<p>For a user agent that supports the ruby markup, the ruby structure consists of three or more
boxes. The outermost container is the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/#ruby"><samp>ruby</samp></a> element itself.
In the simple case, it is a container for two non-overlapping boxes: the ruby
text box (<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/#rt"><samp>rt</samp></a> element)
and the ruby base box (<a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/#rb"><samp>rb</samp></a> element). The
positioning of these two boxes relative to each other is controlled by the <a
href="#rubypos">'ruby-position'</a> property.</p>
<div class="figure"><

/div>
<img class="example" width="223" height="93"
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"
src="images/r-box-t.gif" />
<p><b>Figure 3.2.1</b>: Ruby box model (simple case)</p>
</div>
<p>In the case of complex ruby, the ruby element is a container for two or
three non-overlapping boxes: one ruby base collection (<a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/#rbc"><samp>rbc</samp></a> element), and one
or two ruby text collections (<a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/#rtc"><samp>rtc</samp></a> element). The
<samp>rbc</samp> element is itself a container for one or several ruby base
box (<samp>rb</samp> element), while each <samp>rtc</samp> element is a
container for one or several ruby text box (rt element). The position of the
<samp>rtc</samp> element in relation to the related <samp>rbc</samp> element
is controlled by the <a href="#rubypos">'ruby-position'</a> property. The two
following figures show examples of these complex ruby.</p>
<div class="figure">

<p><b>Figure 3.2.2</b>: Ruby box model (complex ruby with an empty rt element
after)</p>
</div>
<p>In the example above, the ruby text after (below) the ruby bases contains two <samp>rt</samp> elements with the first one
being empty, the empty <samp>rt</samp> element corresponds to the first part
of the ruby base collection (the first part is identified by the first <samp>rb</samp> element
within the <samp> rbc</samp> element).</p>
<div class="figure">
<img src="images/r-box-h.gif"
alt="Diagram of a group ruby with a spanning ruby text above and partial ruby text below" width="400" height="173" />
<p><b>Figure 3.2.3</b>: Ruby box model (complex ruby with a spanning ruby text
element)</p>
</div>
<p>In the example above, the ruby text before (above) the ruby bases spans the whole ruby base collection. The
ruby text after (below) the ruby bases still contain two <samp>rt</samp> elements, one of
which is empty. The spanning behavior of <samp>rt</samp> text elements is
controlled by the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/#ruby"><samp>rbspan</samp></a> attribute in a
way similar to the <samp>colspan</samp> attribute used for table column.</p>
<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>
<p class="note"><span class="note-label">Note:</span> The visual description of the ruby elements does not refer
necessarily to the logical orders of the elements</p>
<p>The width of the ruby box is by default determined by its widest child
element, whose width in turn is determined by its content. The width of all direct
children of the <samp>ruby</samp> element is the width of the widest children. In this respect, the ruby
box is much like a two or three row <samp>table</samp> element, with the
following exceptions:</p>
<ul>
<li>the ruby box is an inline element, like an image, even though it itself,
like a table, is a container of other boxes</li>
<li>the equivalent of the cells: the <samp>rb</samp> element and the
<samp>rt</samp> text element can only contain inline-level elements.</li>
<li>the content of each 'cell' is always measured at its maximum width</li>
<li>unlike a table, a ruby element doesn't have to fit in a line, the ruby
box may be split into several boxes at line boundary, depending of the
spanning of the ruby texts. This is however only possible for the complex
ruby and can only happen at the boundary of non spanning elements.</li>
<li>both the ruby text and the ruby base boxes may overlap with adjacent
text (outside of the ruby element) if an appropriate <a
href="#rubyover">'ruby-overhang'</a> parameter is set via CSS. Note
however that the actual content of the ruby base cannot overlap with that
adjacent text. The distribution of the content of the ruby base within the
ruby base box is controlled by the <a href="#rubyalign">'ruby-align'</a>
property.</li>
</ul>
<p>If the ruby text is not allowed to overhang, then the ruby behaves like a
traditional box, i.e. only its contents are rendered within its boundaries and
adjacent elements do not cross the box boundary:</p>
<div class="figure">
<p><img class="example" width="220" height="91"
alt="Diagram showing the ruby boxes interacting with adjacent text"
src="images/ro-n.gif" /></p>
<p><b>Figure 3.2.4</b>: Simple ruby whose text is not allowed to overhang
adjacent text</p>
</div>
<p>However, if ruby text is allowed to overhang adjacent elements and it
happens to be wider than its base, then the adjacent content is partially
rendered within the area of the ruby base box, while the ruby text may be
partially overlapping with the upper blank parts of the adjacent content:</p>
<div class="figure">
<p><img class="example" width="177" height="91"
alt="Diagram showing the ruby boxes interacting with adjacent text"
src="images/ro-a.gif" /></p>
<p><b>Figure 3.2.5</b>: Simple ruby whose text is allowed to overhang adjacent
text</p>
</div>
<p>The ruby text related to a ruby base can never overhang another ruby
base.</p>
<p>The alignment of the contents of the base or the ruby text is not affected
by the overhanging behavior. The alignment is achieved the same way regardless
of the overhang behavior setting and it is computed before the space available
for overlap is determined. It is controlled by the <a
href="#rubyalign">'ruby-align'</a> property.</p>
<p>The exact circumstances in which the ruby text will overhang other
elements, and to what degree it will do so, will be controlled by the <a
href="#rubyover">'ruby-overhang'</a> property.</p>
<p>This entire logic applies the same way in vertical ideographic layout, only
the dimension in which it works in such a layout is vertical, instead of
horizontal.</p>
<p class="note"><span class="note-label">Note:</span> Because the purpose of the XHTML <samp>rp</samp> element
[[RUBY]] is to allow pre-existing user agents
to parenthesize ruby text content, an XHTML user agent should use a styling rule
for these elements that avoids rendering them such as <samp>rp {display:
none}</samp>.</p>
<h3 id="ruby-line-height">
Ruby box and line stacking</h3>
<p>The interaction of the ruby box and line stacking is controlled by the
'line-stacking-ruby' property described in the CSS3 Line Module. That property
takes two values: 'include-ruby' and 'exclude-ruby. Depending on the property
value, the ruby box is considered or excluded for line stacking. Even if the
ruby box is considered for line stacking, some values of the
'line-stacking-strategy' property (also described in the CSS3 Line module) can
still create occurrences where a the ruby box will eventually be ignored (e.g.
case where the 'line-stacking-strategy' value is 'block-line-height').</p>
<p>In the following figure, each line box is shown with leading space
distributed before and after the two text segments ('Previous line' and 'Ruby
base'); the dotted lines show the line box for each line. The
'line-stacking-ruby' property is set to 'exclude-ruby'. The achieved effect is
that the ruby box does not affect the line to line spacing. It is however the
responsibility of the style author to avoid 'bleeding' effects between the ruby
text and the surrounding text of images.</p>
<div class="figure">
<p>
<img class="example"
alt="Diagram showing the ruby text using 2 half leading"
src="images/rlh-a.gif" width="210" height="138" /></p>
<p><b>Figure 3.3.1</b>: Excluded Ruby text</p>
</div>
<p>In the following figure, the line boxes have no extra leading space. The
'line-stacking-ruby' property is set to 'include-ruby' and the
'line-stacking-strategy' property is set to a value where inline boxes are
considered for line stacking. In this case, the line box with
the ruby text is affected and has its 'stack-height' increased by the amount
necessary to fit the ruby text.</p>
<div class="figure">
<p>
<img class="example"
alt="Diagram showing the ruby text expanding above base text"
src="images/rlh-b.gif" width="210" height="111" /></p>
<p><b>Figure 3.3.2</b>: Ruby text increasing line height</p>
</div>
<p>This mechanism allows rendering of evenly spaced lines of text within a
block-level element, whether a line contains ruby or not. The authors need
only to set for the block-level element a line height value larger than the
computed line-height of the largest ruby element within the block.</p>
<h3 id="ruby-line-breaking">
Ruby box and line breaking</h3>
<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>
<p>

<p><b>Figure 3.4.1</b>: "Bopomofo" ruby line breaking opportunity</p>
<p class="issue"><span class="issuehead">Issue: </span> Line breaks should only be allowed within ruby if the ruby base text can be broken at that point. E.g. if complex Ruby is used to annotate the two morphemes of "butterfly", the fact that we have added ruby annotations should not cause a line breaking opportunity to be present between "butter" and "fly" </p>

This property controls how ruby annotation boxes should be rendered

<p>Possible values:</p>
<dl>
<dt><dfn title="ruby-merge:separate">''separate''</dfn></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Each ruby annotation box is rendered in the same column as its corresponding base box.
This style is called Mono-ruby in [[JLREQ]].
</p>
<div class="example">
<p>The following two markups render the same:</p>
<pre><ruby>無<rt>む</ruby><ruby>常<rt>じょう</ruby></pre>

<dt><dfn title="ruby-merge:collapse">''collapse''</dfn></dt>
<dd>
<p>
All ruby annotation boxes are concatenated,
and rendered to the concatenated ruby base boxes.
This style renders similar to Group-ruby in [[JLREQ]],
except that it allows line break between annotation pairs.
</p>
<div class="example">
<p>The following two markups render the same if fit in a line:</p>
<pre><ruby>無常<rt>むじょう</ruby></pre>

The user agent may use any algorithm to determine how each ruby annotation box
is rendered to its corresponding base box.
</p>
<div class="example">
<p>
One possible algorithm is described as Jukugo-ruby in [[JLREQ]].
</p>
<p>
Another, more simplified algorithm of Jukugo-ruby is
to render as Mono-ruby if all ruby annotation boxes fit within
advances of their corresponding base boxes,
and render as Group-ruby otherwise.

<p>This property can be used on any element to control the text alignment of
the ruby text and ruby base contents relative to each other. It applies to all
the rubys in the element. For simple ruby, the alignment is applied to the
ruby child element whose content is shorter: either the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/#rb"><samp>rb</samp></a> element or the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/#rt"><samp>rt</samp></a> element [[RUBY]].
For complex ruby, the alignment is also applied to the
ruby child elements whose content is shorter: either the <samp>rb</samp>
element and/or one or two <samp>rt</samp> elements for each related ruby text
and ruby base element within the <samp>rtc</samp> and <samp>rbc</samp>
element.</p>
<p>Possible values:</p>

<p>The user agent determines how the ruby contents are aligned.
This is the initial value.
The behavior recommended by [[JLREQ]] is for wide-cell ruby to be aligned in the 'distribute-space' mode:

<dd>If the width of the ruby text is smaller than that of the base, then
the ruby text contents are evenly distributed across the width of the
base, with a certain amount of white space preceding the first and
following the last character in the ruby text. That amount of white
space is normally equal to half the amount of inter-character space of
the ruby text. If the width of the ruby text is at least the width of
the base, then the same type of space distribution applies to the base.
In other words, if the base is shorter than the ruby text, the base is
distribute-space aligned. This type of alignment
is described by [[JLREQ]].

<dt><strong>line-edge</strong></dt>
<dd>If the ruby text is not adjacent to a line edge, it is aligned as in
'auto'. If it is adjacent to a line edge, then it is still aligned as in
auto, but the side of the ruby text that touches the end of the line is
lined up with the corresponding edge of the base. This type of alignment
is described by [[JLREQ]]. This type of alignment is
relevant only to the scenario where the ruby text is longer than the
ruby base. In the other scenarios, this is just 'auto'.
