I’m not a native English speaker, so this page may contain some mistakes in English sentences.
This plugin updated in May 29, 2018, and confs of parentheses has been changed. Read this page for details.
Summary
You can add ruby to your text by using this plugin.
“Ruby” is shown on specified characters. Ruby is mainly used to display Japanese Kana on Chinese characters and describe how to read the Chinese characters.
I know that there is a similar plugin xhtmlruby, but it seems that the plugin is not updated now, so I newly made this plugin.
This plugin is mainly for Japanese surroundings, because other languages may not need “ruby.”
I'm a beginner of PHP programming, so I referred to anchor plugin when creating my plugin.
Installation
Search and install the plugin using the Extension Manager. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.
Examples / Usage
May 22, 2018: I changed partitions from “:” to “|”, because I thought that “|” is a less common character than “:”.
For example, if you enter:
{{ruby|車|くるま}}
then you'll see small text “くるま” on the text “車” (“車” stands for “car(s)” in Japanese, and is read “kuruma (くるま)”).
But some devices doesn't support the ruby syntax. In such devices it'll be shown like “車(くるま)”. (Parentheses can be changed. See contents below.)
You can see this plugin working on a page in my wiki (sorry but this page is available only in Japanese).
Syntax
{{ruby|characters|another characters on it}}
- characters: In many cases, you enter the Chinese characters
- another characters on it: In many cases, you enter how to read this Chinese characters
