Ruby(Furigana) Text Mesh Pro

This plugin adds ruby tag support to "Text Mesh Pro" Unity plugin.

TextMeshPro has been included in the UGUI (com.unity.ugui) package since Unity6.

I checked Unity and UGUI(com.unity.ugui) Version are below.

UnityVer:6000.0.23f1(LTS)
UGUI:2.0.0

Versions prior to Unity6 should use the v1.3.0 tag.

It is possible to install v1.3.0 in Unity6, but it is not recommended because package.json contains dependency information on the old TextMeshPro v3.0.6.

Disruptive change

ver 2.1

Added : Standard Ruby Tag Styles <rt> tag

ver 2.0

Unity version up to 6000.0.23f1(LTS)

Updated : package.json

Updated : Readme.md

Added : Readme.ja.md

ver 1.3

Added : Standard Ruby Tag Styles <rt> tag

ver 1.2

Added : BASE_NO_OVERRAP_RUBY_ALIGNMENT for RubyTextMeshProDefinitions.

Added : rubyMargin for BASE_NO_OVERRAP_RUBY_ALIGNMENT. Specify the ruby margin.

Changed : SerializeField parameter to _<xyz>. Note that FormerlySerializedAs(<xyz>) is defined for compatibility with previous versions.

Changed : Added processing for BASE_NO_OVERRAP_RUBY_ALIGNMENT to calculate the drawing position of ruby and base characters. This may have increased the load.

Removed : RubyTextMeshPro.UnditedText / RubyTextMeshProUGUI.UnditedText : removed. Please use uneditedText.

ver 1.1

Removed : allVCompensationRuby / allVCompensationRubyLineHeight : If rubyLineHeight is an empty string, it will be the allVCompensationRuby:false value up to now, and if rubyLineHeight is a value, it will be the allVCompensationRubyLineHeight value.

Obsolete : RubyTextMeshPro.UnditedText / RubyTextMeshProUGUI.UnditedText : Will be removed in the next version. Please use uneditedText.

Features

Realtime Ruby Text

Ruby tags allow you to annotate text with small "ruby" characters (e.g., for pronunciation or additional information). Various styles of ruby tags are supported, providing flexibility and backward compatibility.

Supported Ruby Tag Formats

1. Legacy Ruby Tag Styles: These styles have been supported since earlier versions and are fully compatible.

   • <ruby=ice>fire</ruby>: Annotates "fire" with "ice".
   • <r=ice>fire</r>: Equivalent to the above.
   • These tags also support double quotes:
     • <ruby="ice">fire</ruby>
     • <r="ice">fire</r>

2. Standard Ruby Tag Styles (from v1.3.0): Starting from v1.3.0, the standard ruby tag format is supported. This enables additional features, such as the ability to use rich text formatting within ruby annotations.

   • <ruby>fire<rt>ice</rt></ruby>: Annotates "fire" with "ice".
   • <r>fire<rt>ice</rt></r>: Equivalent to the standard style.
   • <r>fire<rt><color="blue">ice</color></rt></r>: Enables rich text formatting (e.g., coloring "ice" in blue).

Examples

[!TIP]

• Rich Text Support: The standard ruby tag style (<ruby><rt>) allows for advanced formatting such as color, bold, or italic within the ruby annotations.
• Backward Compatibility: Legacy styles such as <ruby="ice"> and <r="ice"> are fully supported alongside the new standard ruby tag style.
• Standard Syntax Recommendation: It is recommended to use the standard ruby tag style (<ruby><rt>) for new projects to take full advantage of the rich text features.

How To Use

1. Load from github

There is a way to install from GitHub.

[Install]

Unity > Window > PackageManager > + > Add package from git url... > Add the following

• https://github.com/jp-netsis/RubyTextAbstractions.git?path=/RubyTextAbstractions/PackageData#v0.2.0

• https://github.com/jp-netsis/RubyTextMeshPro.git?path=/Assets/RubyTextMeshPro#v2.1.0

2. Copy Source Only

There is a way to copy only the source.

• (1). You need to have TextMeshPro plugin in your project. You can install TMPro via Package Manager. DO NOT Install Text Mesh Pro from Asset Store.

• (2). You can use it by copying the RubyTextMeshPro directory and RubyTextAbstractions source codes.

Usage Description

<ruby=xyz>XYZ</ruby>

or

<r=xyz>XYZ</r>

or

<r>XYZ<rt>xyz</rt></r>

RubyShowType

RUBY_ALIGNMENT : Display characters according to ruby

BASE_ALIGNMENT : Display characters according to the original characters

rubyLineHeight

This function allows you to have the same gap even if you don't use ruby. Empty this string to skip this feature.

Known Issues

• (1).TextMeshPro source has not changed. So text alignment is problematic.

• (2).Do not make the text box smaller than the maximum number of characters in ruby. Display collapse will occur.

• (1)_1.'BASE_ALIGN' setting is left align and the ruby is at the beginning of the line but more than the original character, it will be displayed outside the frame.

• (1)_2.'BASE_ALIGN' setting is center align and the ruby is at more than the original character, can't displayed center. 'RUBY_ALIGN' used, it may be solved.

• (1)_3.'BASE_ALIGN' setting is left align and the ruby is at the beginning of the line but more than the original character, Different from (1)_1 it will be displayed in the frame.
