Ruby Markup Converter

Want to Publish Your Manuscripts Written for Japanese Novel-Sharing Sites on WordPress, Too? Ruby Markup Converter is a plugin that automatically converts ruby (furigana) and emphasis mark (bouten) notation used on Japanese novel-sharing sites and elsewhere into a format that displays correctly in WordPress, without modifying the original text. Simply copy and paste your manuscript from a text file. There's no need to add ruby annotations or emphasis marks one by one. Of course, you can also type the same notation directly into the WordPress editor. Key Features

• Convert by category or by post: Select a category to convert every post in it, or choose for each post and page whether to convert it. No need to add blocks to each post.
• Use your original manuscripts as they are: Supported ruby and bouten notation is converted automatically, so there's no need to rewrite your text.
• Easy to use: Simply paste your manuscript into a post in a selected category, or into the Ruby Markup Converter block.
• Choose where to convert: Convert only part of a post with a dedicated block, or convert all posts and pages.
• Flexible settings: Enable or disable individual markup rules and choose how bouten marks are displayed.

Support for Languages Other Than Japanese Although Ruby Markup Converter is designed with Japanese typography and novel-writing conventions in mind, it is not limited to Japanese. Text in other languages can also be converted as long as it follows the supported markup rules. Supported Markup Styles

• BaseText(RubyAnnotation)
• [[rb:BaseText > RubyAnnotation]]
