Is there something like ruby for vertical layout?

For vertical typesetting you can also use ruby.

OK, how do I use the vertical ruby in horizontal text?

That’s not supported, you can only use horizontal ruby in horizontal text and vertical ruby in vertical text.

I see. Attaching the ruby changes the line height, so I assume the bounding box for the character+ruby compound is adjusted accordingly. In that case, would it be possible to force using a vertical layout for ruby? I guess if \ruby inherit the text orientation from the main text, this will be less straight-forward... Thank you.

Something like "inter-character“ (see http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-ruby/#ruby-position) positioning for text isn’t the problem but it’s yet not part of the ruby module.

Is there anything I can do to make it part of the module, maybe? I guess I would have to look at the Alignment & Positioning parts of the module...? Severin
