What does "ruby annotation" mean? Is there a demo of this MOD working?

For a general idea of what it is, see the W3C recommendation for Ruby Annotation. This particular MOD uses Simple ruby markup, described in section 1.2.2 of the above mentioned document.

To see this MOD in action, see the following topic on the 'Project LRNJ' forums.

Did you even read my previous post?

I linked to both the specifications for ruby annotation (which includes several example images) AND a forum running the mod (specifically, a topic containing a simple demonstration).

my BBCode has the following in use already from other mods.

'9'
'L_BBCODE_9_HELP' => $lang['bbcode_9_help'],
$lang['bbcode_9_help'] = 'xxxxxx (alt+9)';
n9_help = "{L_BBCODE_9_HELP}";

will it be a problem to install?

If you already have a BBcode assigned to Alt+9, then you can edit the Ruby BB code MOD to use a different hotkey. Changes should be made in the following locations:

posting.php

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ IN-LINE FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
$EMBB_keys = array(''

#
#-----[ IN-LINE AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
,'9'

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
'L_BBCODE_F_HELP' => $lang['bbcode_f_help'],

#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
'L_BBCODE_9_HELP' => $lang['bbcode_9_help'],

language/lang_[english]/lang_main.php

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
$lang['bbcode_f_help']

#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
$lang['bbcode_9_help'] = 'Ruby text: [ruby=hightext]basetext[/ruby] (alt+9)';

templates/[subSilver]/posting_body.tpl

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
f_help = "{L_BBCODE_F_HELP}";

#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
n9_help = "{L_BBCODE_9_HELP}";

In each case, change the '9' to the function key you want to use, matching the FIND section with respect to uppercase/lowercase; in the very last case, drop the 'n' in "n9_help" if you are changing it from a number to a letter.

Did you make sure to add the help text to all installed languages?
The MOD only includes text for the English language pack (and the SubSilver template), but for the mod to work properly, you must patch ALL languages (and ALL templates).

ahlai_oun · Post by **ahlai_oun** » Thu Sep 16, 2004 12:51 pm

Yes I did. I mostly installed on subSilver template first to make sure it's working properly before heading on the other templates.

well, i guess i can use what it offer for now.

thanks for this great mod.

Sorry to ask this but what's the syntax?

I've used

[ruby=Month Date Year]September 31 2005[/ruby]
[ruby=Test]Test[/ruby]

and it'll display as

September 31 2005(Month Date Year)
Test(Test)

I installed this with easymod but is it supposed to do that?

Quietust · Post by **Quietust** » Tue Nov 01, 2005 4:05 am

As indicated in the MOD's installation instructions:

Code: Select all

## This syntax is not fully supported by all browsers.
## Opera and Firefox will display the hightext in parentheses
## to the right of the basetext at full size, rather than directly
## above it in small print.

The Mozilla team refuses to implement support for it in Mozilla/Firefox, apparently because it's too complex for them to implement complete support and they insist on "all or nothing", not settling for even partial support (i.e. at least as well as MSIE does it).

Opera also lacks support for it, though I don't know precisely why.

Supposedly, there are stylesheets that can be loaded into Mozilla/Firefox to enable proper Ruby rendering. If I can find them and get them to work, I will see about adding them to this MOD.
