Meeting the JIS X 4051 Requirements for Japanese Text Layout

The actual standard was revised in 2004 and the latest version is JIS X 4051:2004. You can read it in Japanese here: https://kikakurui.com/x4/X4051-2004-02.html

The W3C technical note "Requirements for Japanese Text Layout", published on 4 June 2009, is based on JIS X 4051. This is also available in English: https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/

Following code is a work in progress. Its text layout output meets already some of the requirements (see comments in the code). Among the ones to still be implemented are:

• solid setting (no extra spacing between characters) https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#fig1_8 if no requirement for line-adjustment https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#term.line-adjustment
• aligning of the lines to the Kihon-hanmen (optimizing the code below in this regard)
• positioning and realm of headings https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#fig3_1_9 https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#fig3_1_15 et al, and https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#fig3_1_4
• positioning of yokugo-ruby https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#fig2_3_24
• inline cutting note (warichu) https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#fig2_4_1
• emphasis with sesame dot or bullet
• itemization https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#fig2_5_6
• indenting of quotation paragraphs https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#fig2_5_7
• tab setting https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#fig2_6_1
• furiwake https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#fig2_7_2
• jidori https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#fig2_7_4
• math https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#fig2_7_6 and https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#fig2_7_62
• tategaki (writing vertically)

When you read the lua code in the first \directlua{}, you should realize that the dimensions of almost all layout elements are depending on the value of my lua variable "paperSize". Thanks to defining the paper size first in lua, I can apply calculations of numeric values.

The value of paperSize is later passed on to \setuppapersize via \setuppapersize[\directlua{tex.print(paperSize)}]

%Visual Debugging, to be commented out later:
%\showframe %shows the layout elements
%\showgrid %shows the line numbering
%\showmakeup[penalty] %shows characters for which specific breaking line rules apply
%\showmakeup[glyph] %shows the box of each character

%Define the elements of Kihon-hanmen. 
%Line length should be multiples of the character size.
%Following dimensions are taken from JIS X 4051, annex 3, cases Y-1 to Y-4. Just change value (A4, A5, B5, B6) for paperSize to switch between the cases.

Setup for Korean

You need fonts which contain hangul characters (don’t forget to set a math font because it is used for the symbols in enumerations) and you have to enable linebreaking for Korean with the \setscript command.
