Comment:
"In order to achieve that effect, vertical-ideographic layout should be set on each individual ruby. That can be accomplished with the following simple CSS rule: ruby.bopomofo { writing-mode: tb-rl }"
This is not sufficient. The accents in bopomofo ruby are not displayed as a unidirectional run of text. Bopomofo accents are non-combining characters that in memory follow the sequence of bopomofo alphabetic characters spelling out a syllable. However, the second to fourth tones are displayed in a separate vertical column to the right of the alphabetic characters, and the neutral tone marker is displayed as a dot above the column of alphabetic characters.
