Rubies and Boutens

Fix Ruby positions

Automatically changes the position of the rubies currently present in the file. The new positions will be as follows:

Above/Right - in horizontal subtitles above the normal text, rubies in vertical subtitles to the right of the normal text;

Below/Left - in horizontal subtitles below the normal text, rubies in vertical subtitles to the right of the normal text;

Outside -  changes the position of the inserted Ruby characters according to the most commonly accepted rules explained earlier in the topic dedicated to East Asian languages.

Single line left positioned
vertical subtitles Ruby position

This option automatically changes ruby or bouten positions in one-line vertical subtitle aligned to the left to be displayed Left or Right from the base text. The option can be used only if Ruby/Bouten position different from is set to Outside.

The common practice is ruby/bouten characters to be displayed on the right side of the text in one-line vertical subtitles. But there might be a requirement to display ruby in one-line left positioned vertical subtitles to the left of the base text:
