Japanese furgiana - ruby support in text

[levi]

Hi,

I'm wondering if there is support for rubies in text output?
Ruby are small annotations above chinese characters which explain how to pronounce that character for people who don't know that one.

info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furigana

and it is supported in HTML:

I found a FireFox extension which claims to be able to inject rubies in your document, but I'm not sure if it requires Internet (so wouldn't work on intranet) and it would be FireFox specific and not all IT departments will want to install an extension...
so I think it must come from the application itself,
so I guess it needs to be supported in SmartGWT.

Does anyone have any experience with ruby?

Without any problems except for maybe this one, I already have Japanese support in the app. So that's good :)

We don't have much applicable experience.

If you contrived some way of storing rubies you could use formatter and/or SimpleType APIs to output ruby markup.

We wouldn't want to try to build a ruby input mode as this seems like something that browsers will eventually build in.
