Hi Richard, > I suppose it's possible and maybe even probable that content authors would naturally type it before the syllable for ruby even if they typed it after for non-ruby zhuyin. Maybe it's not necessary to be overly purist about it. [1] > > (One snag may occur, I guess, if you wanted to simply replace the hanzi with the bopomofo, as you may sometimes want to do for kanji+hiragana ruby, for kids/accessibility, etc. On the other hand, I've heard that where this occurs, the bopomofo tends to still be vertical, even in horizontal text - though i'm not sure that's always the case.) I joined Moedict hackathon today and asked why they put the light tone before zhuyin characters. The answer is they parse data from ministry of education's online dictionary and get the sequence as is.[1] [1]: http://dict.revised.moe.edu.tw/cgi-bin/newDict/dict.sh?cond=%A7A&pieceLen=50&fld=1&cat=&ukey=-1282047445&serial=3&recNo=0&op=&imgFont=1 Hope this helps.
