lektor-markdown-ruby-blocks

This is a simple Lektor plugin that adds support for HTML ruby tags to Markdown.

Syntax

To create a ruby tag, use the following ruby-block syntax:

^^
(歩)[ある]く
^^

This will generate the following HTML:

<span class="ruby-line">
  <ruby>歩<rp>(</rp><rt>ある</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>く
</span>

The rendering result:

歩(ある)く

You can combine adjacent ruby text like this:

^^
(自|分)[じ|ぶん]
^^

And this will be rendered like this:

<span class="ruby-line">
  <ruby>自<rp>(</rp><rt>じ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>
  <ruby>分<rp>(</rp><rt>ぶん</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>
</span>

Rendered output:

Newline

This plugin will automatically add <br /> between each line in a ruby-block:

^^
(歩)[ある]く
(歩)[ある]く
^^

This will output:

<span class="ruby-line">
  <ruby>歩<rp>(</rp><rt>ある</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>く
</span>
<br />
<span class="ruby-line">
  <ruby>歩<rp>(</rp><rt>ある</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>く
</span>

You can also use -##- to create an extra newline in a ruby-block.

^^
(歩)[ある]く
-##-
(歩)[ある]く
^^

Output:

<span class="ruby-line">
  <ruby>歩<rp>(</rp><rt>ある</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>く
</span>
<br />
<br />
<span class="ruby-line">
  <ruby>歩<rp>(</rp><rt>ある</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>く
</span>

Coloring the text

Additionally, you can add a 6-digit or 8-digit hex RGB code after the beginning ^^, making the rendered content colored with specified color.

^^#44cc00
(歩)[ある]く
^^

This will generate the following HTML pieces:

<span class="ruby-line" style="color: #44cc00">
  <ruby>歩<rp>(</rp><rt>ある</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>く
</span>

Raw lines

Prepend %  to create a raw line. Raw lines are not converted to ruby tags, not affected by the color settings, and have a different class.

Example:

^^#44cc00
(歩)[ある]く
% (aru)[ku]
^^

Output:

<span class="ruby-line" style="color: #44cc00">
  <ruby>歩<rp>(</rp><rt>ある</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>く
</span>
<br />
<span class="non-ruby-line">
  (aru)[ku]
</span>
