japanese-ruby-filter

This crate provides a text filter which processes markups for Japanese ruby.

Structure of ruby text

A text with ruby consists of base characters and ruby characters. Base characters and ruby characters are divided into the same number of groups. Ruby characters may be displayed on the top of corresponding group of base characters.

Supported Notations

This crate supports only LaTeX-like notation in the current version.

LaTeX-like notation

LaTeX-like command notation is used for representing rubies. The notation is based on the pxrubrica package, but it has a slight modification. It starts with \ruby and base characters and ruby characters are given in braces:

\ruby{武|家|諸法度}{ぶ|け|しょはっと}

The first argument is base characters. A sign | separates the groups of base characters. The second argument is ruby characters. Similar to base characters, | is used as a separator.

In the example above, a ruby character ぶ corresponeds to a base character 武. Ruby characters しょはっと correspond to 諸法度.

Filter for pulldown-cmark

This crate provides a pulldown-cmark filter which parses LaTeX-like ruby notations and converts them into HTML elements. You can use this filter by adding pulldown-cmark-filter to features in Cargo.toml.

[dependencies]
japanese-ruby-filter = { version = "0.1.0", features = ["pulldown-cmark-filter"] }

An example code is given below:

use pulldown_cmark::{Parser, Event, Tag};
use japanese_ruby_filter::pulldown_cmark_filter::RubyFilter;

let s = "\\ruby{漢字}{かん|じ}";
let mut iter = RubyFilter::new(Parser::new(s));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(Event::Start(Tag::Paragraph)));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(Event::Html("<ruby>漢<rp>（</rp><rt>かん</rt><rp>）</rp>字<rp>（</rp><rt>じ</rt><rp>）</rp></ruby>".into())));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(Event::End(Tag::Paragraph)));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), None);
