Document generating apparatus

Abstract

A ruby character is displayed in an appropriate display form corresponding to characteristics of a layout of a document intended for giving of ruby characters. In a document generating apparatus, a storage portion stores information on a layout of a document as document layout data, a unification judging portion reads the document layout data stored in the storage portion, and a ruby character setting portion judges unification of a layout of the whole document based on the read document layout data to set a display form of a ruby character based on a judgment result by the unification judging portion.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a text generation device and a text generation method for generating annotated text by adding annotations to characters included in the text. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, comments have generally been attached to character strings included in text. Comments (ruby) are comments indicating the reading or meaning of a character string, and are placed near the character string so that the correspondence relationship with the character string can be seen (for example, refer to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-72594, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-53838). [0003] Generally, the character size of the comment is determined by the character size of the original text and the line spacing. At this time, even if the size of the characters of the original text and the size of the line spacing are similar, as long as they are not the same, the size of the characters of the comment will...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, when there are two kinds of texts, that is, the original text has a small variation in character size and line spacing, and it is considered good to unify the character size of the translation text in the whole text, and the text that uses random characters of various sizes and When it is considered that it is good to attach the translated text in various sizes corresponding to the sizes of the various characters, in the conventional techniques of JP-A-2009-193283 and JP-A-2010-128599, there exists a In addition to unifying the character size of the translated text for the former, there is also the possibility of unifying the character size of the translated text for the latter between regions with similar character sizes, so requests for not unifying the character size of the translated text for the latter cannot be handled.
