Is it possible to add support for Ruby Text?

[Xamusel]

I'm asking this because I have a story that I'm working on that requires the Ruby Text feature. If I don't have it, it won't make much sense for the way the story text works, at least on some occasions.

Now it is.

[rubytext]漢[rt]かん[/rt]字[rt]じ[/rt][/rubytext] will now give 漢かん字じ

Works on non-Japanese text too, of course.

Thanks. I appreciate that.

Would it be possible to add an autospaced version that uses the following syntax?
[ruby='upper row']lower row[/rubytext]

Edit:
Didn't realize it would autospace if you just didn't split the top row among multiple rt tags.

[ruby='upper row']lower row[/ruby][/[plain]

That might be dangerous, since that's the html syntax.

Yes, this is just directly emitting the HTML tags with the same names, so the semantics are the same. In particular, each rt element will be centered over the text that directly preceded it.

To alert anyone watching here, the tag [ruby] has been changed to [rubytext].

Some notes as someone using Rubytext.

1. Nettally breaks if it reads a vote with rubytext in it.

2. If you forget to close the rubytext tag it does fuuuuuunky things in the preview (the text keeps going off the right side of your screen). I'm not sure I wanna know what it looks like in actual post.

That sounds like the same shenanigans as described here. A couple people noticed, I doubt anyone bothered with a screenshot. But I predict it would look pretty much the same.

1 is a Nettally problem; it's probably trying to treat the rubytext tag as a vote category. Nothing I can do about that here.

2 is pretty expected; the bbcode reduces directly to underlying HTML, and if you fail to close a ruby tag in HTML it messes up everything something fierce. Sadly, not much I can do about that either.
