In[9]:= |
Out[9]= |
Use "Vertical" or Bottom for vertical text (縦書き):
In[10]:= |
Out[10]= |
In[11]:= |

Specify which writing system to use for furigana text:
In[12]:= |
Out[12]= |
In[13]:= |
Out[13]= |
In[14]:= |
Out[14]= |
Show romaji text underneath:
In[15]:= |
Out[15]= |
See a tooltip when hovering over each word:
In[16]:= |
Out[16]= |
Change the styling of the furigana text:
In[17]:= |
Out[17]= |
Use multiple style specifications:
In[18]:= |
Out[18]= |
Control the display of the empty space between furigana characters:
In[19]:= |
Out[19]= |
In[20]:= |
Out[20]= |

Display some text with furigana and romaji:
In[26]:= |
In[27]:= |
Out[27]= |
Use IntegerString to get Japanese numbers with their pronunciations:
In[28]:= |
Out[28]= |
FuriganaForm is just a formatting wrapper and should only be used for display purposes:
In[29]:= |
Out[29]= |
In[30]:= |
Out[30]= |
The resource function JapaneseTextTokenizer is better suited to extract computable data from Japanese text:
In[31]:= |
Out[31]= |
FuriganaForm can be slow the first time running in a session since it needs to initialize JapaneseTextTokenizer:
In[32]:= |
In[33]:= |
Out[33]= |
Subsequent evaluations will be much faster:
In[34]:= |
Out[34]= |
There will not be any furigana to display if there is no kanji in the text:
In[35]:= |
Out[35]= |
FuriganaForm can still be used to display the romaji transliteration, however:
In[36]:= |
Out[36]= |
Here’s a pretty neat example:
In[37]:= |
Out[37]= |
