LinguisticGlosses

Question answered by this recipe

• How can I add glossed text markup for the wiki about linguistics?
• How can I add pinyin pronounciation under Chinese text?
• How can I add furigana (ruby markup) over Japanese text?

Description

'Linguistic Glosses' recipe allows to add glossed text for your site.

• Glosses can be put over or under the main text.
• Glosses text is word-wrapped.
• The resulting layout can be modified via CSS.
• Text is viewable by modern browsers (supporting display: inline-block) or by text-only browsers like Lynx (not supporting display at all).
• An argument nospaces to delete whitespace in the text (useful for Chinese and Japanese).
• An argument above for glosses above the text (useful for furigana).
• An argument larger, larger=2, larger=3 to make the main text larger (useful for Chinese and Japanese).
• An easy way to make your own arguments (argument xxx adds a class .gloss-xxx to the respective paragraph tag, so just add CSS).

Notes

Glosses works in all modern browsers; however, older browsers (e.g. Opera below 9) can have trouble displaying glosses.
