Re: [NTG-context] Is rendering furigana over horizontal or vertical japanese text doable in ConTeXt?

21 Aug 2022

      Currently, the ruby module does not seem to support cjk fonts? I have
a preliminary implementation of furigana(pinyin in Chinese) as:

```lmtx
% define the pinyin font
\definefont[pinyinfont][name:ahpinying*default at 9pt]
% define the pinyin command
\define[2]\pinyin{%
    \setbox1 = \hbox{#1}%
    \setbox2 = \hbox{\darkgray \pinyinfont #2}%
    \newdimen\maxwd%
    \ifdim \wd1>\wd2 \maxwd=\wd1 \else \maxwd=\wd2 \fi%
    \setbox1 = \hbox to \maxwd{\hfill \box1 \hfill}%
    \setbox2 = \hbox to \maxwd{\hfill \box2 \hfill}%
    \hskip0pt plus5pt\vbox{\setupinterlinespace[line=0.5em]\box2\box1}%
above line
    % \hskip0pt
plus5pt\vtop{\setupinterlinespace[line=0.5em]\box1\box2}% under line
}
```
usage as follows:

```lmtx
\pinyin{寖備}{jìn bèi}
```

BTW, I hav made a vertical typesetting module for Chinese in ConTeXt LMTX,
vertical_typeset.lua in https://github.com/Fusyong/vertical-typesetting

You should modify the set for Japanese characters and punctuations here:

```lua
local function chars_to_vertical(c)
    return c >= 0x04E00 and c <= 0x09FFF
end

local puncs_to_rotate = {
[0x3001] = true, -- 、
[0xFF0C] = true, -- ，
[0x3002] = true, -- 。
[0xFF0E] = true, -- ．
[0xFF1F] = true, -- ？
[0xFF01] = true, -- ！
[0xFF1A] = true, -- ：
[0xFF1B] = true, -- ；
}
```

and there is a doc for example, 大学章句.lmtx, in https://github.com/Fusyong/jiazhu,
and jiazhu.lua in same place is a module of Jiazhu (or 夹注, 割注) in ConTeXt LMTX.

But all the comments are in Chinese.

At least, furigana seems covered.
How do I know which document to consult? There are many PDF files that come with ConTeXt.

Is there any documentation about \ruby?
You can see all available parameters in setup-en.pdf, the example below
shows a few of them:
%%%% begin example
\setupinterlinespace[line=4ex]
\setuptype[style=\ttx]
\starttext
\start
xxxxxxxxx \ruby{aaa}{bbb} xxxxxxxxx
\stop
\start \setupruby[location=left]
\type{\setupruby[location=left]}\quad xxxxxxxxx \ruby{aaa}{bbb} xxxxxxxxx
\stop
\start \setupruby[location=right]
\type{\setupruby[location=right]}\quad xxxxxxxxx \ruby{aaa}{bbb} xxxxxxxxx
\stop
\start \setupruby[location=right,left={[},right={]}]
\type{\setupruby[left={[},right={]}]}\quad xxxxxxxxx \ruby{aaa}{bbb}
xxxxxxxxx
\stop
\start \setupruby[align=flushleft]
\type{\setupruby[align=flushleft]}\quad xxxxxxxxx \ruby{aaaaaa}{bbb}
xxxxxxxxx
\stop
\start \setupruby[align=flushright]
\type{\setupruby[align=flushright]}\quad xxxxxxxxx \ruby{aaaaaa}{bbb}
xxxxxxxxx
\stop
\start \setupruby[style=\itxx]
\type{\setupruby[style=\itxx]}\quad xxxxxxxxx \ruby{aaa}{bbb} xxxxxxxxx
\stop
\start \setupruby[color=blue]
\type{\setupruby[color=blue]}\quad xxxxxxxxx \ruby{aaa}{bbb} xxxxxxxxx
\stop
\start \setupruby[voffset=-1.2ex]
\type{\setupruby[voffset=-1.2ex]}\quad xxxxxxxxx \ruby{aaa}{bbb} xxxxxxxxx
\stop
\stoptext
%%%% end example
...
What about vertical text?
ConTeXt has a mechanism to produce vertical text but there is nothing
yet which can
be used out of the box to produce a complete document with vertical
paragraphs.
