17.3.3.28 rubyPr

This element specifies a set of properties which determine the behavior and appearance of a phonetic guide within the document.

[Example: Consider the following two runs, each containing a phonetic guide:

The properties for both of these phonetic guides are as follows:

<w:r>
  <w:ruby>
    <w:rubyPr>
      <w:rubyAlign w:val="distributeSpace" />
      <w:hps w:val="16" />
      <w:hpsRaise w:val="20" />
      <w:hpsBaseText w:val="22" />
      <w:lid w:val="ja-JP" />
    </w:rubyPr>
    …
  </w:ruby>
</w:r>

The phonetic guide properties specify that the guide text must be:

• Distributed across the top (using the rubyAlign element)
• 8 point font face (using the hps element)
• 10 points above the base text (using the hpaRaise element)
• Japanese (using the lid element)

As well, the phonetic guide properties specify that the base text must be:

• 11 point font face (using the hpsBaseText element)

end example]
