Usage edit

This template provides a quick shorthand for writing ruby characters in HTML.

The template takes three arguments,

{{ruby|<character>|<ruby>|<suffix>|<additional ruby>}}

When writing words consisting of multiple characters, you will have to evaluate where to best split the ruby markup up.

Examples:

Markup	Result
`{{furi\|犬\|いぬ}}`	犬 (いぬ)
`{{ruby\|食\|た\|べる}}`	食 (た)べる
`{{ruby\|日本\|にほん\|}}`	日本 (にほん)
`{{ruby\|家\|いえ\|\|house}}`	家 (いえ) [house]
`{{ruby\|飛\|と\|ぶ\|fly}}`	飛 (と)ぶ [fly]
`{{ruby\|のみ\|\|\|only}}`	のみ [only]
`{{ruby\|{{ruby\|食\|た\|べ}}{{ruby\|尽\|つ\|くす}}\|\|\|consume}}`	食 (た)べ尽 (つ)くす [consume]

For writing Japanese furigana, please use {{furi}} instead.
