Project Description
The HTML Ruby extension for Opera enables the Opera browser to render ruby annotation (furigana).
Download and Install
Opera 11 is required to install Opera extensions.
Download the latest Opera-approved versions from
addons.opera.com.
If you would like to try the latest and greatest versions, newer releases may be available from the downloads section. Save the file to your desktop and drag it into Opera to install. Please note that releases not submitted to addons.opera.com are not tested as thoroughly and that versions installed in this way will not auto-update.
You may need to enable the following options in Opera for HTML Ruby to work as expected:
- opera:config#UserPrefs|AlwaysLoadUserJavaScript
- opera:config#UserPrefs|UserJavaScript
HTML Ruby is also available for
Firefox.
User Options
User options are available from HTML Ruby's options panel. Go to Menu -> Extensions -> Manage Extensions -> HTML Ruby -> Config/Gear -> Preferences in Opera to access them.
FAQ
What is ruby?
Ruby, here, is not the programming language Ruby but the ruby annotation used in web pages. These "ruby" are small texts that are usually displayed above base texts to show the pronunciation of characters used in East Asian languages.
Why is it called HTML Ruby?
This project started out as an Opera UserJS where there already existed a script called XHTML Ruby (separate from the Firefox extension XHTML Ruby Support). XHTML Ruby only handled properly formed XHTML ruby tags, while HTML Ruby aimed to also support the draft specification of the ruby annotation which accepted unclosed tags, or rather, the HTML form of ruby annotation.
