2.1.1 Characters used for Chinese Composition 中文排版所使用的文字 中文排版所使用的文字

The majority of the text used in Chinese composition consists of Han characters (Hanzi).

中文排版主要使用的文字为汉字。

中文排版主要使用的文字為漢字。

Chinese characters include Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese alternatives. The former is commonly used in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao while the latter is commonly used in Mainland China, Singapore and Malaysia.

依照各地的通行标准，中文所使用的汉字主要分为繁体字与简体字。前者又称正体字、传统汉字等，主要通行于台湾、香港、澳门等地；后者又作简化字，主要通行于中国大陆、新马地区。本文依笔画多寡与部件结构为区别，统称为繁体字与简体字。

依照各地的通行標準，中文所使用的漢字主要分為繁體字與簡體字。前者又作正體字、傳統漢字等，主要通行於台灣、香港、澳門等地；後者又作簡化字，主要通行於中國大陸、星馬地區。本文依筆畫多寡與部件結構為區別，統稱為繁體字與簡體字。

Different glyphs are used in different regions. One Unicode code point of a Chinese character may have more than one valid glyph, depending on operating system and typeface used. The focus of this document is Chinese composition and will not cover glyph variations in detail.

不同地区所使用的字形有差异，各种字形与Unicode码位并非一一对应关系，需要依赖处理系统和字体来呈现。本文主要探究中文排版，对此不做详述。

不同地區所使用的字形有差異，各種字形與Unicode碼位並非一一對應關係，需要依賴處理系統和字體來呈現。本文主要探究中文排版，對此不做詳述。

In addition to Chinese characters (Hanzi), various punctuation marks, as well as Western characters such as European numerals, Latin letters and/or Greek letters, may be used in Chinese text.

中文排版除了汉字外，也使用标点符号，也会与阿拉伯数字、拉丁文字、希腊文字等外文混排。

中文排版除了漢字外，也使用標點符號。也會與阿拉伯數字、拉丁文字、希臘文字等外文混排。

2.1.2 Chinese Characters 汉字 漢字

Chinese characters have square character frames of equal dimensions. Aligned with the vertical and horizontal center of the character frame, there is a smaller box called the character face, which contains the actual symbol. (There should be some space left between the character face and the character frame).

汉字有着正方形的文字外框。文字外框的正中央，有着比文字外框小的字面（反过来说，字面的上下左右与文字外框之间有若干空白。根据不同的字面设计，空白的大小会有所不同）。

漢字有著正方形的文字外框。文字外框的正中央，有著比文字外框小的字面（反過來說，字面的上下左右與文字外框之間有若干空白。根據不同的字面設計，空白的大小會有所不同）。

Character size is measured by the size of the character frame. Character advance is a term used to describe the advance width of the character frame of a character, which should be the same as the width of the character.

文字尺寸则为文字外框的尺寸。此外，字幅则是依照文字排列方向的文字外框大小，为文字的宽度。

文字尺寸則為文字外框的尺寸。此外，字幅則是依照文字排列方向的文字外框大小，為文字的寬度。

2.1.3 Principles for Arranging Characters during Chinese Composition 汉字的配置原则 漢字的配置原則

In principle, when composing a line with Chinese characters, no extra space appears between their character frames. This is called solid setting.

汉字依行排列文字，原则上文字外框彼此紧贴配置，称作密排。

漢字依行排列文字，原則上文字外框彼此緊貼配置，稱作密排。

Depending on the context, in addition to solid setting, several alternative setting methods can be used, as described below.

依照内容的不同，也会采用以下方式排列。

依照內容的不同，也會採用以下方式排列。

2.1.3.1 Increased inter-character spacing 增加字距 增加字距

It is common in books to increase the space between each character frame (i.e. loose setting) for the following cases:

在各字之间加入固定量的空白来排列文字，称作疏排。书籍排版上，遇到以下状况时，会采用这种排列方式。

在各字之間加入固定量的空白來排列文字，稱作疏排。書籍排版上，遇到以下狀況時，會採用這種排列方式。

1. To achieve a balance between running heads with different numbers of characters, increased inter-character spacing is used for running heads with few characters.

   为使字数不同的标题间能取得平衡，而加大字距。

   為使字數不同的標題間能取得平衡，而加大字距。

2. For captions of illustrations and tables, which only have a few characters, increased inter-character spacing is used to achieve balance with the size of the illustration or table.

   图片与表格之说明文字字数较少时，为取得平衡，而加大字距。

   圖片與表格之說明文字字數較少時，為取得平衡，而加大字距。

3. In some cases, increased inter-character spacing is used for poetry with lines of only a few characters, so as to maintain the balance of the layout.

   应用于字数少的诗词时，为与版面取得平衡，而加大字距。

   應用於字數少的詩詞時，為與版面取得平衡，而加大字距。

4. For publications whose main audience is children, inter-character spacing is increased to make it easier for them to read.

   针对儿童书籍等，为提升易读性，而加大字距。

   針對兒童書籍等，為提升易讀性，而加大字距。

2.1.3.3 Reduced inter-character spacing 减少字距 減少字距

By reducing the inter-character spacing, a portion of two character frames overlap each other (i.e. solid setting). This method is mainly used in the following cases:

减少字距，使得文字外框一部分重叠，称作紧排。这种处理方式，主要应用于：

減少字距，使得文字外框一部分重疊，稱作緊排。這種處理方式，主要應用於：

1. For characters in headings of magazines or advertisements, reduced inter-character spacing can be used to keep the characters on one line, or it can also be used to achieve a special effect for presentation.

   杂志标题及广告文案字数较多，为使其排列于一行，或为求特殊表现时使用。

   雜誌標題及廣告文案字數較多，為使其排列於一行，或為求特殊表現時使用。

2. Since Chinese characters are all square-shaped, this method does not apply to headings and content in books produced by letterpress printing.

   由于汉字皆为正方形，此方式并不适用于活字排版，故不应用于书籍标题与内文的排列上。

   由於漢字皆為正方形，此方式並不適用於活字排版，故不應用於書籍標題與內文的排列上。

2.2.1 Four frequently-used Typefaces for Chinese Characters 中文排版经常使用的四种字体 中文排版經常使用的四種字體

There are four main typefaces in use for Chinese characters:

中文排版时，主要使用的四种字体为：

中文排版時，主要使用的四種字體為：

• Song 宋体 宋體
• Kai 楷体 楷體
• Hei 黑体 黑體
• Fangsong 仿宋体 仿宋體

The following sections describe common practice and contexts for the use of these four typefaces.

这四种字体常用于书籍排版中，下列各节分别介绍其使用情境。

這四種字體常用於書籍排版中，下列各節分別介紹其使用情境。

2.2.2 Song 宋体 宋體

Song, also known as Songti or Ming, is currently the most common typeface used in Chinese printing. As seen in Figure 3.

宋体，又称为明体或明朝体，是中文排版最常使用的字体。如Figure 3所示。

宋體，又稱為明體或明朝體，是中文排版最常使用的字體。如Figure 3所示。

Song is commonly used in text, headings and annotations. When used in headings, the characters will appear in a bold face, so as to distinguish the heading from the text.

普遍使用于内文文字、标题与注释。当应用于标题时，通常会特别加强字重，使其与内文有所差异。

普遍使用於內文文字、標題與注釋。當應用於標題時，通常會特別加強字重，使其與內文有所差異。

2.2.3 Kai 楷体 楷體

Kai also known as Kaiti or regular script, is another major typeface, which provides calligraphic styles for Chinese characters. It shows notable handwriting features. As seen in Figure 4.

楷体又称正书、真书，为中文排版常用的字体。字体特性为带有书法形态、手写笔触。如Figure 4所示。

楷體又稱正書、真書，為中文排版常用的字體。字體特性為帶有書法形態、手寫筆觸。如Figure 4所示。

Kai is mainly used in text that needs to be differentiated from the rest of the content, for example, headlines, references, quotations, and dialogs. It is rarely used for emphasis, because of its similarity to Song.

主要使用于标题、引言、摘句、对话、内容出处等与内文有所不同的段落上。但因与宋体近似，故少用于强调。

主要使用於標題、引言、摘句、對話、內容出處等與內文有所不同的段落上。但因與宋體近似，故少用於強調。

Since Kai retains some calligraphic features, it is widely used in official documents and textbooks.

由于楷体保留了书法笔触，普遍用于公文书、教科书之内的文字。

由於楷體保留了書法筆觸，普遍用於公文書、教科書之內的文字。

2.2.4 Hei 黑体 黑體

Hei, also known as Heiti or Gothic, is a type style characterized by strokes of even thickness, reduced curves, and a lack of decoration. It is commonly used in headlines, signs, and personal names in dialogs. In body text, characters in Hei style with thicker strokes typically indicate emphasis. As seen in Figure 5.

黑体又作方体，字体特性为笔画宽度平均、弧度较小，不加装饰。主要应用于标题、图说、对话之人名。内文中也会使用字重较粗的黑体作为特定文字的强调、着重。如Figure 5所示。

黑體又作方體，字體特性為筆畫寬度平均、弧度較小，不加裝飾。主要應用於標題、圖說、對話之人名。內文中也會使用字重較粗的黑體作為特定文字的強調、著重。如Figure 5所示。

Traditionally, publications rarely apply the Hei style for content, but with the growing influence of the World Wide Web and the digital publishing industry, some publications are starting to experiment Hei in this context.

传统印刷品少使用黑体作为内文文字，但受到万维网、数字出版的影响，也有少数书籍开始使用黑体作为内文字体。

2.2.5 Fangsong 仿宋体 仿宋體

The Fangsong (Imitation Song) style lies between Song and Kai. It is commonly used in secondary titles and isolated paragraphs such as quotations or highlighted sentences. As seen in Figure 6.

仿宋体的字体形态介于宋体与楷体之间。常用于副标题和引言、摘句等区隔于内文的段落上。如Figure 6所示。

仿宋體的字體形態介於宋體與楷體之間。常用於副標題和引言、摘句等區隔於內文的段落上。如Figure 6所示。

2.3.3 From the Template of the Page Format to the Actual Page Format 从基本版式到实际版面的定版设计 從基本版式到實際版面的定版設計

This section explains how to create an actual page format based on the type area.

本部分说明如何以基本版式为起点来为实际的各页面确定版式，这个步骤称做具体页面的“定版”。

本部分說明如何以基本版式為起點來為實際的各頁面確定版式，這個步驟稱做具體頁面的“定版”。

1. Realm and position of headings: The spacing of the heading in the block direction (i.e., height of the heading in horizontal writing mode or width of the heading in vertical writing mode) should be calculated from the position of the body text, and set to a multiple of the number of lines. If indent of the heading space is required, the starting point should be from the body text position set by the type area, and the amount of indent should be a multiple of the body text size.

   标题的地位：标题摆放的位置及其所占空间，应以基本版式设定中行的位置为基准，以“占几行空间”方式来设计，这个方式称作“占行”。实际定版工作中为计算方便，通常设置为行的整数倍。定版要求通常写成“单行标题占三行”或“双行标题占五行”等方式，“单行”“双行”指标题文字本身的行数，而“三行”“五行”则指的是基本版式中行所占的空间。标题缩排时，也应以基本版式所设定的文字尺寸为基准，决定要缩排的量。具体方法可见§ 4.1 Headings & Page Breaks 标题处理（包含换页处理） 標題處理（包含換頁處理）。

   標題的地位：標題擺放的位置及其所占空間，應以基本版式設定中行的位置為基準，以「占幾行空間」方式來設計，這個方式稱作「占行」。實際定版工作中為計算方便，通常設置為行的整數倍。定版要求通常寫成「單行標題占三行」或「雙行標題占五行」等方式，「單行」「雙行」指標題文字本身的行數，而「三行」「五行」則指的是基本版式中行所占的空間。標題縮排時，也應以基本版式所設定的文字尺寸為基準，決定要縮排的量。具體方法可見§ 4.1 Headings & Page Breaks 标题处理（包含换页处理） 標題處理（包含換頁處理）。

2. Size of illustrations: In horizontal writing mode, the width of illustrations should, if at all possible, be the width of the type area; in horizontal writing mode with multiple columns, the width of illustrations should, if at all possible, be the width of one type area column. The illustrations are usually set at the head or the foot of the page. Likewise, in vertical writing mode, the height of illustrations should, if at all possible, be either the height of one type area column or the height of the type area. The illustrations are usually set at the right or left of the type area.

   图片的尺寸：图片宽度尽可能地与基本版式中的版心宽度一致；若基本版式为分栏排版，则尽可能与基本版式所设定的栏宽（直排为栏高）一致。图片的摆放位置则多与版心的天头、地脚对齐。

   圖片的尺寸：圖片寬度盡可能地與基本版式中的版心寬度一致；若基本版式為分欄排版，則盡可能與基本版式所設定的欄寬（直排為欄高）一致。圖片的擺放位置則多與版心的天頭、地腳對齊。

3. Pages for table of contents, index, and bibliography: These pages’ layout is also based on the type area of body text. In practice, additional paddings might be attached onto the start and the end of the lines. Furthermore, these pages might be set in multiple columns while the body text is single column.

   目录、索引、参考文献：以基本版式为基准设计。但有不少案例会于内文采单栏横排时，目录等页采多栏设计。而目录页有时天地侧会对文字进行缩排。

   目錄、索引、參考文獻：以基本版式為基準設計。但有不少案例會於內文采單欄橫排時，目錄等頁采多欄設計。而目錄頁有時天地側會對文字進行縮排。

2.3.4 Procedure for Defining the Type Area 设计基本版式的步骤 設計基本版式的步驟

1. Specifying the dimensions of the type area

   决定版心尺寸

   決定版心尺寸

   1. For a document with a single column per page, specify the character size, the line length (the number of characters per line), the number of lines per page, and the line gap.

      无分栏时，需决定文字尺寸、一行的字数（即行长）、一页的行数以及行距。

      無分欄時，需決定文字尺寸、一行的字數（即行長）、一頁的行數以及行距。

   2. For a document with multiple columns per page, specify the character size, the line length (the number of characters per line), the number of lines per column, the line gap, the number of columns and the column gap.

      当分栏时，需决定文字尺寸、一行的字数（即行长）、一栏的行数、行距、栏数以及栏距。

      當分欄時，需決定文字尺寸、一行的字數（即行長）、一欄的行數、行距、欄數以及欄距。

2. For determining the position of the type area relative to the trim size, there are various alternative methods available:

   决定相对于完成尺寸，版心的配置位置。版心配置位置的设计顺序有着以下方式。

   決定相對於完成尺寸，版心的配置位置。版心配置位置的設計順序有著以下方式。

   1. Set the type area at the horizontal and vertical center of the trim size.

      将版心置于完成尺寸的正中央，天地等高、左右等宽。

      將版心置於完成尺寸的正中央，天地等高、左右等寬。

   2. Position vertically by specifying the size of the space at the head (for horizontal writing mode) or the space at the foot (for vertical writing mode). Position horizontally by centering the type area.

      横排时指定天的留白量、直排时则指定地的留白量，左右等宽。

      橫排時指定天的留白量、直排時則指定地的留白量，左右等寬。

   3. Position vertically by centering the type area. Position horizontally by specifying the size of the space for the gutter.

      天地等高，指定装订线的留白量。

      天地等高，指定裝訂邊的留白量。

   4. Position vertically by specifying the space at the head (for horizontal writing mode) or the space at the foot (for vertical writing mode). Position horizontally by specifying the size of the space for the gutter.

      指定装订线的留白量，横排时指定天的留白量、直排时则指定地的留白量。

      指定裝訂邊的留白量，橫排時指定天的留白量、直排時則指定地的留白量。

2.3.5 Considerations when Designing the Type Area 基本版式设计的注意事项 基本版式設計的注意事項

The following are considerations that need to be taken into account when designing the type area:

设计基本版式时需考虑以下事项：

設計基本版式時需考慮以下事項：

1. When deciding the dimensions of the type area, it is necessary to consider both the trim size and the margin. Generally speaking, the shape of the type area could be made similar to that of the trim size.

   决定版心尺寸时，须先考量到完成尺寸与留白后进行。一般而言，版心与完成尺寸会呈相似形的设计。

   決定版心尺寸時，須先考量到完成尺寸與留白後進行。一般而言，版心與完成尺寸會呈相似形的設計。

2. There have been different size systems for Chinese characters. The size system in traditional metal type utilized hào (literally number) units, while in the phototypesetting era, Q was used as the sizing unit instead. When it came to desktop publishing, font sizes were determined by the DTP point system which was built into the software itself. Currently, the traditional hào-system is still used for typesetting in many Chinese publications.

   中文活字大小有不同单位。在金属活字时代，传统中文活字尺寸以「号」为单位，故称作「字号」；在照相排版时代沿用照排机尺寸的单位「级」，故称作「字级」；在桌面排版时代，直接使用桌面排版软件中的「点」（DTP point）。目前，很多场合的中文排版依旧习惯沿用「号」。

   中文活字大小有不同單位。在金屬活字時代，傳統中文活字尺寸以「號」為單位，故稱作「字號」；在照相排版時代沿用照排機尺寸的單位「級」，故稱作「字級」；在桌面排版時代，直接使用桌面排版軟件中的「點」（DTP point）。目前，很多場合的中文排版依舊習慣沿用「號」。

   These hào-systems were not standardized by the various foundries in the past. In addition, point-systems were also different in Anglo-American point systems, Europe Continental point systems, DTP point systems and other systems, which resulted in numerous conversion methods between the hào-system and the point-system. The following table lists their most common corresponding conversions as a reference. It is not normative information.

   「号」由于当年金属活字各地厂家的规范不一而不尽相同，「号」也有英美、欧陆、DTP等多种制式，导致「号」与「点」的换算有不同方法。下表仅列出常见的一些换算数值，仅供参考，不作为规范性规定：

   「號」由於當年金屬活字各地廠家的規範不一而不盡相同，「號」也有英美、歐陸、DTP等多種制式，導致「號」與「點」的換算有不同方法。下表僅列出常見的一些換算數值，僅供參考，不作為規範性規定：

   號數	點數
   初號	42 pt
   一號	27.5/28 pt
   小（新）一號	24 pt
   二號	21/22 pt
   小（新）二號	18 pt
   三號	15.75/16 pt
   四號	13.75/14 pt

   五號	10.5 pt
   小（新）五號	9 pt
   六號	7.875/8 pt
   七號	5.25pt

   Size 5 is usually used for body text. Newspapers and magazines use both Size 5 and New Size 5. The acceptable minimum size for the text in content is Size 6 (7.875pt≒2.8mm). If a smaller size is used, it will be difficult to read due to the complex structure of Chinese characters.

   一般内文主要使用五号字（10.5pt≒3.7mm），而报纸、杂志则使用新五号字（9pt≒3.2mm），两种皆常用。而一般内文字最小使用到六号字（7.875pt≒2.8mm），若小于此尺寸，由于汉字结构复杂，较难阅读。

   一般內文主要使用五號字（10.5pt≒3.7mm），而報紙、雜誌則使用新五號字（9pt≒3.2mm），兩種皆常用。而一般內文字最小使用到六號字（7.875pt≒2.8mm），若小於此尺寸，由於漢字結構複雜，較難閱讀。

3. Line length should be multiples of the character size and the line ends should be aligned with each other.

   一行的行长应为文字尺寸的整数倍，各行的位置尽可能头尾对齐。

   一行的行長應為文字尺寸的整數倍，各行的位置盡可能頭尾對齊。

   For Chinese composition without intermixed Western scripts, the characters all have a square-shaped frame, so all line lengths except that of the last line of the paragraph should, in principle, be the same.

   中文在不与西文混排的状况下，所使用的文字外框皆为正方形，除段落最后一行不对齐外，各行行首、行尾皆需对齐，这是重要的排版原则。

   中文在不與西文混排的狀況下，所使用的文字外框皆為正方形，除段落最後一行不對齊外，各行行首、行尾皆需對齊，這是重要的排版原則。

4. The line gaps between each line should be the same throughout the book, except for special cases.

   行与行之间的空白（行距）除特别状况外，需保持一致。

   行與行之間的空白（行距）除特別狀況外，需保持一致。

   In Traditional Chinese composition, there are cases where pronunciation marks, referred to as 'ruby' in the Japanese Layout Requirements, are inserted between lines. In such cases the line gap is not changed but kept constant. If these elements are likely to occur in the text, the line gap established during type area design needs to be of an adequate size to accommodate them.

   繁体中文排版中，字间的注音符号可能会超入行距空间，而翻译书籍也可能使用类似日文排版的ruby文字，此时行距仍需保持一致。当文中需要配置这些元素时，于设计版心的阶段就须考量到这些要素来决定行距。

   繁體中文排版中，字間的注音符號可能會超入行距空間，而翻譯書籍亦可能使用類似日文排版的ruby文字，此時行距仍需保持一致。當文中需要配置這些元素時，於設計版心的階段就須考量到這些要素來決定行距。

   Note

   The line gap for the type area is commonly set to a value between 50% and 100% of the height of the character frame used for the type area. A shorter line gap can be chosen in cases where the line length is short or the character size of the type area is relatively small. On the other hand, the line gap usually does not exceed the character size. Increasing the line gap beyond the character size does not improve the reading experience.

   版心的行距多半介于文字尺寸的50%–100%之间，当行长较短或文字尺寸较小时，行距设定也会相对较小。反之，行距一般不会超过文字尺寸，就算超过文字尺寸，也不会因而增加易读性。

   Note

   There is another method of specifying the type area that uses line height rather than line gaps. Line height is the distance between two adjacent lines measured from their reference points. The reference point differs from implementation to implementation. For example, in vertical writing mode, the horizontal center of the character frame can be used, and in horizontal writing mode, the vertical center of the character frame can be used. When the character size is the same for every character, the following calculation is used:

   指定版心的方法中，有着不以行距，而是依行高来设定的方法。行高就是彼此邻接的两行之基准点间的距离。基准点依照处理方式而会有所不同。比如，在直排时可以行左右的中央线为基准点，横排时可以行上下的中央线为基准点。当配置的文字全部尺寸相同时，有着以下关系：

   指定版心的方法中，有著不以行距，而是依行高來設定的方法。行高就是彼此鄰接的兩行之基準點間的距離。基準點依照處理方式而會有所不同。比如，在直排時可以行左右的中央線為基準點，橫排時可以行上下的中央線為基準點。當配置的文字全部尺寸相同時，有著以下關係：

   • line height = character size / 2 + line gap + character size / 2 = character size + line gap

     行高=文字尺寸÷2+行距+文字尺寸÷2=文字尺寸+行距

     行高=文字尺寸÷2+行距+文字尺寸÷2=文字尺寸+行距

   • line gap = line height - character size

     行距=行高-文字尺寸

     行距=行高-文字尺寸

2.4.1 Writing Modes in Chinese 中文的文字书写方向 中文的文字書寫方向

Chinese composition has two text directions, vertical writing mode and horizontal writing mode. Publications from Taiwan and Hong Kong are composed in vertical writing mode or horizontal writing mode; while publications from Chinese Mainland are mostly composed in horizontal writing mode, only some are composed in vertical writing mode.

中文的文字书写方向分为直排与横排。其中，台湾、香港的中文出版品适用直排与横排；中国大陆的出版品则多为横排，直排书籍的案例较少。

2.4.2 Major Differences Between Horizontal and Vertical Writing Modes 横排与直排的主要差异点 橫排與直排的主要差異點

The following are the major differences between vertical writing mode and horizontal writing mode:

直排与横排的主要差异点，列举如下：

直排與橫排的主要差異點，列舉如下：

1. Arrangement of characters, lines, columns and pages; direction of page progression.

   文字、行、栏以及页面配置、装订方向

   文字、行、欄以及頁面配置、裝訂方向

   1. Vertical composition.

      直排时

      直排時

      • Characters are arranged from top to bottom, lines are arranged from right to left.

        文字由上向下，行由右向左排列。

        文字由上而下，行由右而左排列。

      • Columns are arranged horizontally from top to bottom.

        栏水平切割，上下分栏。

        欄水平切割，上下分欄。

      • A book starts with the left (recto) side and progresses from right to left.

        页面由左页（正面）开始，由右向左进行配置（由左向右翻页）。

        頁面由左頁（正面）開始，由右向左進行配置（由左向右翻頁）。

   2. Horizontal composition.

      横排时

      橫排時

      • Characters are arranged from left to right, and lines are arranged from top to bottom.

        文字由左向右，行由上向下排列。

        文字由左而右，行由上而下排列。

        Chinese traditionally only uses vertical writing mode. When horizontal lines are used in content that is set vertically, such as on stone inscriptions or headings for newspapers and magazines. In such cases, characters should be ordered from right to left. but now this has largely been replaced by the horizontal lines that are read from left to right.

        中文传统上仅使用直排，当横排文字使用于直排文字时，如匾额、报纸、杂志的标题，文字应为由右向左排列。但目前多为由左而右的横排书写方向取代。

        中文傳統上僅使用直排，當橫排文字使用於直排文字時，如匾額、報紙、雜誌的標題，文字應為由右向左排列。但目前多為由左而右的橫排書寫方向取代。

      • Columns are arranged vertically from left to right.

        栏垂直切割，左右分栏。

        欄垂直切割，左右分欄。

      • A book starts with the right (recto) side and progresses from left to right.

        页面由右页（正面）开始，由左而右进行配置（由右向左翻页）。

        頁面由右頁（正面）開始，由左而右進行配置（由右向左翻頁）。

2. When the text contains Western text or European numerals, the typesetting method is as follows:

   文中包含西文、阿拉伯数字时，配置如下：

   文中包含西文、阿拉伯數字時，配置如下：

   1. In vertical writing mode, there are 3 methods for arranging Western text or European numerals:

      直排时，西文或阿拉伯数字有以下三种配置方式：

      直排時，西文或阿拉伯數字有以下三種配置方式：

      • One by one, with the same normal orientation as Chinese characters. This is usually applied to one-letter alphanumerics or acronyms.

        与汉字采相同的书写方向，依字母逐个排列，主要用于单一西文字母或阿拉伯数字、首字母缩写等。

        與漢字採相同的書寫方向，依字母逐個排列，主要用於單一西文字母或阿拉伯數字、首字母縮寫等。

        

        Note

        Western text or European numerals used for this arrangement should have the same fixed size and width as the Chinese characters, rather than a proportional width.

        西文字母或阿拉伯数字，采用此配置时，需使用与汉字相同尺寸、字幅固定的等宽字体，而非比例字体。

        西文字母或阿拉伯數字，採用此配置時，需使用與漢字相同尺寸、字幅固定的等寬字體，而非比例字體。

      • Rotated 90 degrees clockwise. This is usually applied to English words or sentences.

        文字以顺时针方向旋转90°，主要用于西文的单词、语句等（见Figure 8）。

        文字以順時針方向旋轉90°，主要用於西文的單詞、語句等（見Figure 8）。

        

      • Set horizontally without changing orientation (like tate-chu-yoko in Japanese). This is usually applied to numbers comprising two to three digits.

        保持正常方向，横排处理（如日文的纵中横排）。主要应用于二至三位数字。

        保持正常方向，橫排處理（如日文的縱中橫排）。主要應用於二至三位數字。

        In principle, if numbers are arranged horizontally in a vertical writing mode, the width of the numbers should not exceed one character width. This rule originated in the letterpress printing era due to the fixed width of each line. Therefore, in vertical writing mode, Western text or European numerals are not limited to two digits, but the width should not exceed one character width. Some commonly seen examples include "3.0", "A+" and "2B".

        数字在直排行内横排，原则上不超过一个汉字的字幅。这是从活字印刷时代起，每行宽度固定所致。故直排时，西文字母与阿拉伯数字横排不限于两位数，但原则上不能超过一个汉字。现代常见的用法还包括[3.0]、[A+]、[2B]等。

        數字於直排行內橫排，原則上不超過一個漢字的字幅。這是從活字印刷時代起，每行寬度固定所致。故直排時，西文字母與阿拉伯數字橫排不限於二位數，但原則上不能超過一個漢字。現代常見的用法還包括[3.0]、[A+]、[2B]等。

   2. In horizontal writing mode there is only one way of arranging alphanumerics, i.e. the normal orientation.

      横排时，以正常方向配置。

      橫排時，以正常方向配置。

3. Arrangement of tables and/or illustrations.

   表格、图片等标题栏的位置

   表格、圖片等標題列的位置

   1. In vertical writing mode, align the top of tables/illustrations to the right of the page but list the headers on the right side.

      直排时，表格横列的标题列位上方，直行的标题列位右侧。

      直排時，表格橫列的標題列位上方，直行的標題列位右側。

   2. In horizontal writing mode, align the top of tables/illustrations to the left of the page but list the headers on the left side.

      横排时，表格横列的标题列位上方，直行的标题列位左侧。

      橫排時，表格橫列的標題列位上方，直行之標題列位左側。

4. Arrangement of an incomplete number of lines on a multi-column format page due to new recto, page break, or other reason.

   换页、换章时最末页采多栏排列、行于页面结束时，依以下方式处理：

   換頁、換章時最末頁採多欄排列、行於頁面結束時，依以下方式處理：

   1. In vertical writing mode, just finish the line where it ends. The number of lines in each column is not uniform.

      直排时，顺其行文结束，各栏左右行数可不一致。

      直排時，順其行文結束，各欄左右行數可不一致。

   2. In horizontal writing mode, columns can be re-arranged so that each column has the same number of lines. In case the number of lines is not divisible by the number of columns, add the smallest number to make it divisible and re-arrange columns using the quotient as the number of lines so that only the last column shall have the incomplete number of lines.

      横排时，各栏的行数可平均。但因字数不足，行数无法与栏数配合时，不足的行数在最后一栏末尾留空。

      橫排時，各欄的行數可平均。但因字數不足，行數無法與欄數配合時，不足的行數於最後一欄末尾留空。

Punctuation marks in Chinese 中文标点符号表 中文標點符號表. There are no notable differences among different regions in the glyphs of punctuation marks. The major differences are their size and where the character face is positioned relative to the character frame.

标点符号的字形及用法请见§ 3.1.1 Categories and Usage of Punctuation Marks 标点符号的分类及用法 標點符號的分類及用法节及§ A. Punctuation marks in Chinese 中文标点符号表 中文標點符號表。各地的标点符号在字形上未有显著差异，区别主要是符号的尺寸与字面分布。

標點符號的字形及用法請見§ 3.1.1 Categories and Usage of Punctuation Marks 标点符号的分类及用法 標點符號的分類及用法節及§ A. Punctuation marks in Chinese 中文标点符号表 中文標點符號表。各地的標點符號在字形上未有顯著差異，區別主要係符號的尺寸與字面分布。

Punctuation marks used in Taiwan and Hong Kong are usually positioned in the vertical and horizontal center of the square space left for them; while in vertical writing mode and horizontal writing mode, some of the punctuation marks are positioned in different directions so as to mark the corresponding characters more accurately. In Chinese Manland, the punctuation marks are usually positioned following the characters they are supposed to mark; while some punctuation marks might be positioned in different directions due to the vertical or horizontal writing mode. Also, different writing modes might require different punctuation marks to fulfill the same function, e.g. horizontal writing mode requires curved quotation marks while vertical writing mode requires corner brackets.

港台的标点多位于字面正中，部分标号在直、横排中使用不同的方向以准确地标注文字；中国大陆的标点多位于被标注文字的末端、字面始端，部分标号在直、横排中除了使用不同的方向外，亦有需要因文字书写方向替换符号形式的需求，如引号（横排使用弯引号，直排使用直角引号）。

港台的標點多位於字面正中，部分標號在直、橫排中使用不同的方向以準確地標注文字；中國大陸的標點多位於受注文字的末端、字面始端，部分標號在直、橫排中除了使用不同的方向外，亦有需要因文字書寫方向替換符號形式的需求，如引號（橫排使用彎引號，直排使用直角引號）。

Pause or stop punctuation marks include the slight-pause comma, comma, semicolon, colon, period, question mark, exclamation mark, etc. They take the same dimensions as well as the direction as a character in their respective writing modes does. In Taiwan and Hong Kong, pause or stop punctuation marks are usually positioned in the vertical and horizontal center of the square space left for them. In Chinese Mainland, they are positioned in the top or bottom side in the space left for them following the marked characters. In horizontal writing mode, the pause or stop punctuation marks are placed at the lower left corner in the square space while in vertical writing mode, they are placed in the right upper corner.

点号，包括：顿号、逗号、分号、冒号、句号、问号、叹号等，占一个汉字的大小，直、横排方向一致。港台的排版位于字面正中；中国大陆的排版则位于文字末端、字面始端偏顶端或底端一侧（横排时位于字面左下角，直排时位于字面右上角）。

點號，包括：頓號、逗號、分號、冒號、句號、問號、驚嘆號等，佔一個漢字的大小，直、橫排方向一致。港台的排版位於字面正中；中國大陸的排版則位受注文字末端、字面始端偏頂端或底端一側（橫排時位字面左下角，直排時位字面右上角）。

Bracket marks include quotation marks, parentheses, book title mark type B, etc. They should be positioned in pairs at either side of the marked character(s), have the same dimensions as a character, and the same direction as the characters. Bracket quotation marks have different positioning rules in different areas. In Taiwan, single quotation marks will be used first and then double quotation marks, whereas in Chinese Mainland, double quotation marks will be used first and then single quotation marks. Also, the writing mode should be taken into consideration as well. Horizontal writing mode requires curved quotation marks while vertical writing mode requires corner brackets.

夹注符号，包括：引号、括号及双书名号（书名号乙式）等，位于文本的两侧，占一个汉字的大小、依文字书写方向使用相应的标注方向。其中，引号在各地分别采用不同的形式，台湾多使用先单、后双（依此类推）的配对形式；中国大陆则使用先双、后单（依此类推）的配对形式，并按照文字书写方向采用相应的符号（横排使用弯引号，直排使用直角引号）。

夾注符號，包括：引號、括號及書名號乙式（雙書名號）等，位受注文本的二側，佔一個漢字的大小、依文字書寫方向使用相應的標注方向。其中，引號在各地別採用不同的形式，台灣多使用先單、後雙（依此類推）的配對形式； 中國大陸則使用先雙、後單（依此類推）的配對形式，並依文字書寫方向採用相應的符號（橫排使用彎引號，直排使用直角引號）。

Ellipses and two-em dashes, should be vertically and horizontally centered within their square frame, and should be one character in height and two characters in width. They are not supposed to be separated from one line to the next and should be positioned in the same direction as the characters.

Connector marks should take up the same dimensions as a single character, and be vertically and horizontally centered within its square frame. Among the connector marks, the EN DASH should have a short length to distinguish it from the Chinese character [一], which means one. And they should be positioned in the same direction as the characters they mark.

连接号位于字面正中，占一个汉字的大小，其中，甲式连接号在横排时，符号的直线长度应稍小于汉字“一”以避免歧义，按照文字书写方向使用相应的标注方向。

連接號位字面正中，佔一個漢字的大小，其中，甲式連接號在橫排時，符號的直線長度應稍小於漢字「一」以避免歧義，依文字書寫方向使用相應的標注方向。

Middle dots should be vertically and horizontally centered within their square frame. To make more economical use of the available space, or to tighten the overall spacing, sometimes the solidus can have a half character width.

间隔号位于字面正中，占一个汉字的大小，直、横排方向一致。为了节省排版空间、使词组或数字较紧凑地排列，可以使用半个汉字大小的间隔号。

間隔號位於字面正中，佔一個漢字的大小，直、橫排方向一致。為了節省排版空間、使詞組或數字較緊湊地排列，可以使用半個漢字大小的間隔號。

Interlinear marks like proper noun marks, book title mark type A, and emphasis dots should be positioned underneath the marked characters in horizontal writing mode. In vertical writing mode, emphasis dots should be positioned to the right side of the marked characters so as not to affect the characters above and beneath them.

标注在行间的标号需以不影响上下行文字为原则进行配置。包括：专名号、甲式书名号等两个符号，位于被标注文字底端（横排位于文字下方、直排位于文字左侧）；着重号横排时位于文字底端（下方）、直排时位于文字顶端（右侧）。

3.1.3 Atypical punctuation marks and their composition 非典型的标点符号及其配置 非典型的標點符號及其配置

3.1.3.4 Symbol of death 示亡号 示亡號

The symbol of death is not defined in the GB rules, but is a punctuation mark which is widely used by the commons. The symbol of death is a solid black border outside the character frame of a person's name to indicate the person is deceased. Its Western counterpart would be the dagger punctuation mark (U+2020 DAGGER † and U+2021 DOUBLE DAGGER ‡).

示亡号并未列于标点符号相关标准文件，但却是民间经常使用的俗用符号。示亡号亦称示殁号，为在人名文字外框描上实心的黑色边线表示已经过世，类似西文中剑标（U+2020 DAGGER †与U+2021 DOUBLE DAGGER ‡）之用法。

示亡號並未列於標點符號相關標準文件，但卻是民間經常使用的俗用符號。示亡號亦稱示殁號，為在人名文字外框描上實心的黑色邊線表示已經過世，類似西文中劍標（U+2020 DAGGER †與U+2021 DOUBLE DAGGER ‡）之用法。

The symbol of death is used to indicate a person who had been recently deceased, and is often seen in name lists, official reports, genealogy records and so on. It is not used for people who have passed away for some time or well-known deceased individuals.

示亡号主要标示于近年过世的人名，常出现在名单、公报、族谱等人名列表上，用以告知此人已亡殁。而过世已久或众所皆知的历史人物不再加注。

示亡號主要標示於近年過世的人名，常出現在名單、公報、族譜等人名列表上，用以告知此人已亡歿。而過世已久或眾所皆知的歷史人物不再加註。

3.1.4 Prohibition Rules for Line Start and Line End 行首行尾禁则 行首行尾禁則

In order to maintain a smooth reading experience and consistency of style, there are certain constraints for the positioning of most punctuation marks. In most cases, according to its function, a punctuation mark is prohibited from appearing at the line start or line end. This rule was first implemented during the time of letterpress printing. In Mainland China, the national standard General Rules for Punctuation (GB/T 15834—2011) sets clear rules about the positioning of punctuation marks. In Taiwan and Hong Kong, there is not yet a standard for the usage and positioning of punctuation marks, but most of the publications apply the rules described in this document.

为了保持阅读顺畅、体例一致，多数标点符号的位置有限制，通常一个标点符号依其性质，禁止出现在行首或行尾。这项规则自活字排版时代开始通行。在中国大陆，《标点符号用法》（GB/T 15834—2011）规定了简体中文标点在行间的位置；在港台，虽没有相应的规范，但多数出版品皆按照此处所述规则对标点符号进行配置。

為了保持閱讀順暢、體例一致，多數標點符號的位置有其限制，通常一個標點符號依其性質，禁止出現在一行之首或之末。這項規則自活字排版時代開始通行。在中國大陸，《標點符號用法》（GB/T 15834—2011）規定了簡體中文標點在行間的位置；在港台，雖未有相應的規範，但多數出版品皆以此處所述規則對標點符號進行配置。

There are four sets of line-breaking rules with different strictness:

具体地，可以分为四种级别：

具體地，可以分為四種級別：

none 不处理 不處理

Ignore all prohibition against line breaks. Commonly used in newspapers in Taiwan and Hong Kong.

完全不处理行首行尾禁则。常见于台湾香港等地报刊。

完全不處理行首行尾禁則。常見於台灣香港等地報刊。

basic 基本处理 基本處理

Pause or stop punctuation marks (secondary commas, commas, semicolons, colons, periods, exclamation marks, and question marks), closing quotation marks, closing parentheses, closing angle brackets, connector marks, and interpuncts should not appear at the line start. Opening quotation marks, opening parentheses, and opening angle brackets should not appear at the line end. This is the most recommended method.

点号（顿号、逗号、句号、冒号、分号、叹号、问号）、结束引号、结束括号、结束双书名号（书名号乙式）、连接号、间隔号、分隔号不能出现在一行的开头。开始引号、开始括号、开始单双书名号等符号，不能出现在一行的结尾。这是最推荐的方法。

點號（頓號、逗號、句號、冒號、分號、嘆號、問號）、結束引號、結束括號、結束書名號乙式（雙書名號）、連接號、間隔號、分隔號不能出現在一行的開頭。開始引號、開始括號、開始單雙書名號等符號，不能出現在一行的結尾。這是最推薦的方法。

GB-style GB法 GB法

The set of rules in basic, and solidi should not appear at the line end.

在执行基本处理的基础上增加规定分隔号也不能出现在一行的结尾。

在執行基本處理的基礎上增加規定分隔號也不能出現在一行的結尾。

strict 严格处理 嚴格處理

The set of rules in GB-style, and two-em dashes and ellipses should not appear at the line start.

在执行GB法的基础上再增加规定破折号、省略号不能出现在一行的开头。

在執行GB法的基礎上再增加規定破折號、省略號不能出現在一行的開頭。

Prior to processing the prohibition rules, § 3.1.6 Punctuation Width Adjustment 标点符号的宽度调整 標點符號的寬度調整 according to the typesetting style should be processed first, because compression of the punctuation marks will affect the line break position.

在处理禁则之前，应优先按照排版风格处理§ 3.1.6 Punctuation Width Adjustment 标点符号的宽度调整 標點符號的寬度調整，因为标点挤压处理会影响换行位置。

在處理禁則之前，應優先按照排版風格處理§ 3.1.6 Punctuation Width Adjustment 标点符号的宽度调整 標點符號的寬度調整，因為標點擠壓處理會影響換行位置。

排版时如果进行禁则处理，应遵守「先挤进，后推出」原则，即不希望标点符号出现在行首时，应在已经标点挤压的基础上再次检讨是否有机会将其挤到前一行，最后没有挤压机会再从前一行取最后一个字至下一行。前行多出来的空间需按照优先顺序拉伸，最后没有拉伸机会再按平均拉大字距的方式处理。

3.1.5 Prohibition Rules for Unbreakable Marks 符号分离禁则 符號分離禁則

3.1.6 Punctuation Width Adjustment 标点符号的宽度调整 標點符號的寬度調整

Punctuation marks between characters (except for two-em dash and horizontal ellipsis) usually occupy two character widths, making it easy to recognize and lay out. Some layout styles do not adjust the punctuation width at all. However, in order to make the the composition tighter and more readable, and when implementing § 3.1.4 Prohibition Rules for Line Start and Line End 行首行尾禁则 行首行尾禁則, the width of the punctuation marks needs to be adjusted. Whether to adjust depends on the judgment of the typesetting style. Many publications in Taiwan do not adjust punctuation width, while most publications in Mainland China and Hong Kong do adjust punctuation width. Punctuation width adjustment is usually divided into two situations: 1) when consecutive punctuation marks appear 2) when the punctuation mark appears at the beginning or end of a line. There are more than one style of width adjustment, and only the basic principles are explained below.

标注在字间的标点符号（除乙式括号、破折号、省略号以外）通常占一个汉字宽度，使其易于识别、适合配置及排版，有些排版风格完全不对标点宽度进行任何调整。但是为了让文字体裁更加紧凑易读，以及执行§ 3.1.4 Prohibition Rules for Line Start and Line End 行首行尾禁则 行首行尾禁則时，就需要对标点符号的宽度进行调整。是否调整取决于对排版风格的判断，台湾的很多印刷品都采用不调整的风格；而在中国大陆和香港的出版物中，多数采取调整的风格。标点符号宽度调整通常分为两种情形：1. 标点符号连续出现 2.标点出现在行首或行尾。调整时的风格不尽相同，下文仅阐述基本原则。

標註在字間的標點符號（除乙式括號、破折號、省略號以外）通常占一個漢字寬度，使其易於識別、適合配置及排版，有些排版風格完全不對標點寬度進行任何調整。但是為了讓文字體裁更加緊湊易讀，以及執行§ 3.1.4 Prohibition Rules for Line Start and Line End 行首行尾禁则 行首行尾禁則時，就需要對標點符號的寬度進行調整。是否調整取決於對排版風格的判斷，臺灣的很多印刷品都採用不調整的風格；而在中國大陸和香港的出版物中，多數採取調整的風格。標點符號寬度調整通常分為兩種情形：1. 標點符號連續出現 2.標點出現在行首或行尾。調整時的風格不盡相同，下文僅闡述基本原則。

3.1.6.1 Punctuation Adjustment Space 标点符号的调整空间 標點符號的調整空間

Punctuation marks are divided into two types: "unadjustable" and "adjustable", and "adjustable" is divided into six categories according to the position of the adjustable space: left of character face in horizontal writing mode, right of character face in horizontal writing mode, left and right of character face in horizontal writing modes; top of character face in vertical writing mode, bottom of character face in vertical writing mode, top and bottom of character face in vertical writing mode.

标点符号分为「不可调整」和「可调整」两类，「可调整」再根据调整空间分为六类：横排字面左、横排字面右、横排左右两侧；直排字面上、直排字面下、直排上下两侧。

標點符號分為「不可調整」和「可調整」兩類，「可調整」再根據調整空間分為六類：橫排字面左、橫排字面右、橫排左右兩側；直排字面上、直排字面下、直排上下兩側。

Unadjustable punctuations include: GB-style short connector marks, interpuncts, and solidi, because these punctuation points always take half the width of a character; exclamation marks and question marks in horizontal writing mode in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and colons, semicolons, question marks, exclamation marks in vertical writing mode in Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, because these punctuations always take the width of a character.

不可调整的标点包括：中国大陆GB式的半字连接号、间隔号、分隔号，因为这几个标点固定半个字宽；横排的港台式问号、感叹号和直排的冒号、分号、问号、感叹号（包括GB偏靠式和港台居中式），因为这几个标点固定一个字宽。

不可調整的標點包括：中國大陸GB式的半字連接號、間隔號、分隔號，因為這幾個標點固定半個字寬；橫排的港台式問號、驚嘆號和直排的冒號、分號、問號、驚嘆號（包括GB偏靠式和港台居中式），因為這幾個標點固定一個字寬。

3.1.7 Hanging Punctuation at Line End 行尾点号悬挂 行尾點號懸掛

Most Chinese publications do not use hanging punctuation at line end. According to the Japanese Layout Requirements document, hanging punctuation at the line end is a kind of extension of the prohibition rules at line start. This rule helps to avoid moving characters or punctuation marks between lines and avoids inconsistency of space between the characters in different lines.

绝大多数的中文出版物没有悬挂行尾点号的惯例。参考日文排版的做法，点号悬挂是行首标点禁则处理方式的延伸，可以避免文字及点号在前后行的移动，甚而导致前行字距不一的问题。

絕多數的中文出版品沒有懸掛行尾點號的慣例。參考日文排版的做法，點號懸掛是行首標點禁則處理方式的延伸，可以避免文字及點號在前後行的移動，甚而導致前行字距不一的問題。

In general, the punctuation marks that can be hung at the line end include slight-pause comma, comma and period. In Simplified Chinese, all the pause or stop punctuation marks overhang the line end since they are positioned at the starting point of the character frame.

通常，行尾只可悬挂一个点号；适合行尾悬挂的点号有顿号、逗号及句号。简体中文排版中，其余点号因其字面分布偏向被标注文字的一侧、字面始端，也可进行行尾悬挂配置。

通常，行尾只可懸掛一個點號；適合行尾懸掛的點號有頓號、逗號及句號三者。簡體中文排版中，其餘點號因其字面分布偏向受注文字一側、字面始端，亦可進行行尾懸掛配置。

If a punctuation mark (slight-pause comma, comma or period) is expected to be at the start of a line, it should be placed at the end of the previous line, to fit in the type area.

若点号（顿号、逗号或句号）将出现于行首，可将其置于前一行的行尾端、突出版心。

若點號（頓號、逗號或句號）將出現於一行之首，可將其置於前一行的行尾端、突出版心。

However, in Taiwan and Hong Kong, since punctuation marks are positioned in the vertical and horizontal center, hanging the punctuation marks might make an abrupt affect on the composition. Therefore, Traditional Chinese does not apply hanging punctuation in horizontal writing mode but only in vertical writing mode.

然而，由于港台地区的点号位于字面正中，若在横排时使用行尾悬挂，体例可能显得突兀、不良，故横排时不做行尾悬挂配置；但可用于直排。

然而，由於港台地區的點號位於字面正中，若在橫排時使用行尾懸掛，體例可能顯得突兀、不良，故橫排時不做行尾懸掛配置；但可用於直排。

In the case of a succession of punctuation marks, punctuation hanging should not be applied.

3.2.1 Composition of Chinese and Western Mixed Text 中文与西文的混排 中文與西文的混排

There are many examples in Chinese text where Western characters, such as Latin letters, Greek letters, or European numerals, are found alongside Han characters. The following are just a few examples:

中文排版中，汉字与拉丁字母、希腊字母或阿拉伯数字等西文混排的状况经常出现，以下列举部分范例。

中文排版中，漢字與拉丁字母、希臘字母或阿拉伯數字等西文混排的狀況經常出現，以下列舉部分範例。

1. One Western letter used as a symbol for something, such as 'A' or 'B'.

   使用西文字母作为记号使用，如 A、B。

   使用西文字母作為記號使用，如「A」「B」。

2. A Western word is used in a Chinese context, such as 'editor'.

   直接使用如“editor”的西文单词。

   直接使用如「editor」的西文單字詞。

3. Acronyms, such as 'DTP' or 'GDP'.

   使用如DTP、GDP等，与组织名、专有名词等的首字母缩写。

   使用如DTP、GDP等與組織名、專有名詞等首字母縮寫。

4. Book titles or authors in references to Western books that use the original spelling.

   呈现西文文献等的作者名、书名等采用原本表记的方式呈现。

   呈現西文文獻等之作者名、書名等採原本表記的方式呈現。

5. European numerals used to express years or other numbers, such as '1999年'.

   使用阿拉伯数字表示纪年、数量值、编号等，如“1999年”。

   使用阿拉伯數字表示紀年、數量詞、編號等，如「1999年」。

Western numeric characters are also used in itemized lists and numbered headings, or as symbols for chemical elements or mathematical formulae. It can be seen from these examples that it is an everyday occurrence to find Western characters mixed with Han characters in Chinese composition.

项目符号与标题编号、单位符号、元素符号、数学符号等也多有西文，由此可知，日常使用上中、西文的混排非常常见。

項目符號與標題編號、單位符號、元素符號、數學符號等也多有西文，由此可知，日常使用上中、西文的混排非常常見。

Formerly, fullwidth ASCII characters were often used, either to make the presentation look orderly, or simply due to the poorly developed computer technologies available for text layout. Nowadays, typesetting engines allow for proportional or monospace fonts, as required, rather than forcing the user to resort to the old fullwidth blocks of Latin letters and European numerals.

过去，由于计算机排版技术不精良，多使用“全角ASCII字符”以达到整齐等视觉排版效果。现今在文本储存时，应避免使用该区段的拉丁字母及数字字符，交由排版引擎处理比例字体、等宽字体等显示需求。

過去，因計算機排版技術不甚精良，多使用「全形ASCII字元」以達整齊等視覺排版效果。現今在文本儲存時，應避免使用該區段之拉丁字母及數字字元，交由排版引擎處理比例字體、等寬字體等顯示需求。

When Western texts are mixed with Han characters, Chinese style punctuation and its common usage should be used in principle since the main text is Chinese. However, in the case of technical documents, if plenty of formulae are contained in the text, the full stop can be unified with the western-style period, U+002E FULL STOP [.], and the ellipsis can be unifed with the western-style ellipsis, U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS […]. The way glyphs are positioned relative to the character frame follows the Western convention for both Simplified and Traditional text. Also in textbooks on the grammar of Western languages, which contain plenty of example sentences mixed with Chinese, the aforementioned western-style periods can be used.

中西混排中，由于正文是中文，原则上应该使用中文标点，遵守中文标点的习惯用法。但是，涉及公式较多的科学技术中文图书，句号可以统一使用西文句号U+002E FULL STOP [.]，省略号可以使用西文省略号U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS […]，字面分布按西文习惯；又或西文例句较多且多与中文混排的中文版西文语法教材，亦可使用前述的西文句号。

中西混排中，由於正文是中文，原則上應該使用中文標點，遵守中文標點的習慣用法。但是，涉及公式較多的科學技術中文圖書，句號可以統一使用西文句號U+002E FULL STOP [.]，刪節號可以使用西文刪節號U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS […]，字面分布按西文習慣；又或西文例句較多且多與中文混排的中文版西文語法教材，亦可使用前述的西文句號。

3.2.2 Mixed Text Composition in Horizontal Writing Mode 横排的中、西文混排配置 橫排的中、西文混排配置

In horizontal writing mode, the basic approach uses proportional fonts to represent Western text and uses proportional or monospace fonts for European numerals. In principle, there is tracking or spacing between an adjacent Han character and a Western character of up to one quarter of a Han character width, except at the line start or end.

横排时，西文使用比例字体；阿拉伯数字则常用比例字体或等宽字体。原则上，汉字与西文字母、数字间使用不多于四分之一个汉字宽的字距或空白。但西文出现在行首或行尾时，则无须加入空白。

橫排時，西文使用比例字體；阿拉伯數字則常用比例字體或等寬字體。原則上，漢字與西文字母、數字間使用不多於四分之一個漢字寬的字距或空白。但西文出現在行頭或行尾時，則毋須加入空白。

3.2.3 Mixed Text Composition in Vertical Writing Mode 直排的中、西文混排配置 直排的中、西文混排配置

For vertical writing mode, the following list describes methods of setting Western letters and European numerals:

直排时，西文与阿拉伯数字的配置有以下三种方法：

直排時，西文與阿拉伯數字的配置有以下三種方法：

1. Setting Western letters with Han character width monospace fonts. Letters or European numerals follow each other, one at a time, in the same direction and orientation as the Han characters. This arrangement is usually adopted where the text contains a single letter or digit, or an acronym (such as GDP).

   采用与汉字等宽的字体或全角文字，使用与汉字相同的书写方向按照字母排列，无须转向。当文中的西文字母与阿拉伯数字为单独一字或为首字母缩写时（如GDP），多使用这种方式配置。

   採用與漢字等寬之字體或全形字元，使用與漢字相同的書寫方向依字母排列，毋須轉向。當文中的西文字母與阿拉伯數字為單獨一字、或為首字母縮寫時（如GDP），多使用這種方式配置。

   

2. Setting Western letters with proportional fonts, rotated 90 degrees clockwise. This approach is usually adopted where Latin letters compose a word or sentence. There is tracking or spacing between a Han character and an adjacent Western letter or European numeral, up to a width of one quarter of a Han character, except at the line start or end.

   采用比例字体，将文字顺时针旋转90°配置。当文中的西文为一般单词、语句或四位数以上的阿拉伯数字时，采用此方法配置。汉字与西文字母、数字间使用不多于四分之一个汉字宽的字距或空白。但西文出现在行首或行尾时，则无须加入空白。

   採用比例字體，將文字順時針旋轉90度配置。當文中的西字為一般單字詞、語句，或阿拉伯數在四位數以上時，採用此方法配置。漢字與西文字母、數字間使用不多於四分之一個漢字寬的字距或空白。但西文出現在行頭或行尾時，則毋須加入空白。

   

3. Setting European numerals with proportional fonts in horizontal-in-vertical orientation. This style is usually adopted when dealing with a two to three digit number whose width is equal to the default line advance or slightly wider (within an acceptable range).

   阿拉伯数字使用比例字体，以纵中横排（保持正常方向，横排）方式配置。主要应用于两至三位数的阿拉伯数字，其宽度与行幅相当，或稍微切出行幅。

   阿拉伯數字使用比例字體，以縱中橫排（保持正常方向，橫排）方式配置。主要應用於二至三位數的阿拉伯數字，其寬度與行幅相當，或稍微切出行幅。

3.2.4 Handling Western Text in Chinese Text Using Proportional Western Fonts 西文使用比例字体时的混排处理 西文使用比例字體時的混排處理

The following provides composition rules for handling Western characters and European numerals in horizontal writing mode or for situations in vertical writing mode where the Western words/phrases or European numerals are rotated 90 degrees clockwise:

横排中混排的西文、阿拉伯数字，及直排中将文字采顺时针旋转90°配置的西文、阿拉伯数字，其配置方式如下：

橫排中混排的西文、阿拉伯數字，及直排中將文字採順時針旋轉90度配置的西文、阿拉伯數字，其配置方式如下：

1. A sequence of Western characters in a Western word should not break across a line-break, except where hyphenation is allowed.

   西文单字词在可使用连字符处外，不得分隔为两行。

   西文單字詞在可使用連字符處之外，不得分隔為兩行。

2. Tracking or spacing between a Han character and a Western letter or numeral is up to a quarter of the width of a Han character.

   汉字与西文字母之间，原则上使用不多于四分之一个汉字宽的字距或空白。

   漢字與西文字母之間，原則上使用不多於四分之一個漢字寬的字距或空白。

3. Justified text alignment is an important feature of Chinese composition. It is harder to align text as expected when a line contains Western characters. Typically, spacing or tracking is applied equally across the line, but such adjustments are only applied between Han characters or between Han and Western letters. The spacing is not equally distributed between characters in Western words and/or European numerals.

   由于中文排版强调行首与行尾对齐，当行内包含西文时，较难对齐，这时多使用均排的方式处理。均排时，各西文词组间、阿拉伯数字间的空格，以及西文字母与阿拉伯数字之间不使用均排，仅调整汉字、汉字与西文间的字距或空白。

   由於中文排版強調行頭與行尾對齊，當行內包含西文時，較難對齊，這時多使用均排的方式處理。均排時，各西文詞組間、阿拉伯數字間之空格，以及西文字母與阿拉伯數字之間不使用均排，僅調整漢字、漢字與西文間的字距或空白。

Exceptions are made in the following cases:

以下情况例外：

以下情況例外：

1. Tracking or spacing of Western letters or European numerals before the line start or after the line end are not justified.

   位于行首的西文与阿拉伯数字之前、位于行尾的西文与阿拉伯数字之后不调整字距或加入空白。

   位於行頭的西文與阿拉伯數字之前、位於行尾的西文與阿拉伯數字之後不調整字距或加入空白。

2. Tracking or spacing of Western letters or European numerals is not adjusted before or after Chinese commas or full stops, nor after Chinese opening and before Chinese closing brackets.

   在中文点号前后、中文开始夹注符号之后、结束夹注符号之前的西文，不调整字距或加入空白。

   於中文點號前後、中文開始夾注符號之後、結束夾注符號之前的西文，不調整字距或加入空白。

3.2.5 Handling of Grid Alignment in Chinese and Western Mixed Text Composition 纵横对齐下的中西文混排处理 縱橫對齊下的中西文混排處理

Due to the fact that each Han character is of the same width, not only should characters at the start and end of a line be aligned but it is also a requirement for characters within blocks of Han text to be aligned both vertically and horizontally, whether in vertical or horizontal writing mode. When Western text or European numerals are present, this principle is harder to achieve. Possible approaches are listed below:

由于汉字各字等宽的性质，无论在直排或横排的情况下，除了行齐首尾对齐外，也要求各行间的各个汉字能够纵横对齐。若遇西文或阿拉伯数字采用比例字体，难以满足这项原则时，处理方式如下：

由於漢字各字等寬的性質，無論在直排或橫排的情況下，除了行齊頭尾對齊外，亦求各行間的各個漢字能夠縱橫對齊。若遇西文或阿拉伯數字採用比例字體，便難以滿足這項原則，處理方式如下：

1. Instead of a quarter Han-width tracking between Han and Western letters, it is possible to use flexible spacing of up to half a Han character width. This brings the space occupied by Western characters to a multiple of the width of a Han character. In this way, both the Han character before and after the Western language span snaps to the grid lines.

   汉字与西文字母间不使用四分之一汉字宽的字距，而是加入大于零、小于等于二分之一汉字宽的弹性空白，使西文所占的空间为汉字的整数倍，确保西文前后的汉字都能纵横对齐。

   漢字與西文字母間不使用四分之一漢字寬之字距，而是加入大於零、小於等於二分之一漢字寬的彈性空白，使西文所佔之空間為漢字的整數倍，確保西文前後之漢字都能縱橫對齊。

2. When a Western word appears at the line end and needs to be broken, rather than breaking the word at a syllable boundary per the Western convention, the word may be forced to break at the line end, in order to ensure correct alignment.

   当西文位于行尾必须断行时，不需遵照西文从音节断行的惯例，在行尾强制断行，以确保行尾对齐。

   當西文位於行尾必須斷行時，不遵照西文從音節斷行的慣例，於行尾強制斷行，以確保行尾對齊。

3.3.1 Usage of Interlinear Annotations 行间注的用途 行間注的用途

Chinese interlinear annotation, also known as ruby, refers to small, supplementary text attached to certain characters or words in the main text. Chinese interlinear annotation is usually set in the interlinear space and aligned to the corresponding base text which it annotates. In Chinese typesetting, Chinese interlinear annotation is mainly used to indicate pronunciation or meaning.

行间注是标注在字词旁侧的小字号补充文本。行间注的注文通常位于行间，与其所标注的基文对齐，因这一性质而又名为行间注。行间注在中文排版里的用途主要为标音与释义。

行間注是標注於字詞旁側的小字號補充文本。行間注的注文通常位於行間，與其所標注的基文對齊，因這一性質而又名為行間注。行間注在中文排版里的用途主要為標音與釋義。

3.3.2 Overview of Interlinear Annotation Positioning 行间注排版概述 行間注排版概述

In vertical writing mode, Zhuyin, Romanization or bilingual annotations are usually placed on the right side of the base text (Han characters), while interlinear comments are often placed on the left side. In horizontal writing mode, Zhuyin can be placed above the base text, but in most cases they are still set to the right side of the base text. On the other hand, Romanization and bilingual annotations can appear both above or below the base text, and the interlinear comments are usually placed at the bottom of the base text.

直排时，注音符号或罗马拼音、中外文对照常位于（汉字）右侧，行间批语则多位于基文片段左侧；横排时，注音符号可置于（汉字）的上方及右侧，但多见于右侧，而罗马拼音及中外文对照上下皆可，行间批语则位于基文片段的后方。

直排時，注音符號或羅馬拼音、中外文對照常位於受注基文（漢字）右側，行間批語則多位於基文片段左側；橫排時，注音符號可置於受注基文（漢字）的上方及右側，但多見於右側，而羅馬拼音及中外文對照上下皆可，行間批語則位於基文片段的後方。

In principle, Zhuyin Phonetic Symbols are of the same size, and the number of Zhuyin symbols for one Han character is never more than three, which is quite easily manageable. Romanization, however, uses Latin letters whose sizes are proportional, their composed lengths are varied and there should be spaces between the words. Thus, these two kinds of phonetic annotations differ greatly in positioning.

注音符号等宽且每个汉字标音的注音符号字数不超过三个，较为可控；而拉丁字母非等宽，拼式长短不一，且相邻拼式相连时应当有词间空格隔开。两类标音行间注的排版差异较大。

注音符號等寬且每个漢字標音的注音符號字數不超過三個，較為可控；而拉丁字母非等寬，拼式長短不一，且相鄰拼式相連時應當有詞間空格隔開。兩類標音行間注的排版差異較大。

Annotating with both Romanization and Zhuyin is a practical way to indicate the reading to readers who know only one of these systems, as well as helping study of or enquiries about the other one. Normally, when Romanization and Zhuyin are both provided, the Zhuyin are placed on the right side of the Han character while Romanization is set at the bottom of the Han character in horizontal writing mode and to the left side in vertical writing mode.

拼注音共同标注是一种可行的作法，能同时为仅熟悉单一标音系统的两种读者提供汉字标音，并作为学习、査询另一种系统拼写的有效方式。一般情况下，「拼注音共同标注」的注音符号位于汉字右侧，横排时罗马拼音位于汉字下方，直排时位于汉字左侧。

拼注音共同標注是一種可行的作法，能同時為僅熟悉單一標音系統的二種讀者提供漢字標音，並作為學習、査詢另一種系統拼寫的有效方式。一般情況下，「拼注音共同標注」的注音符號位漢字右側，橫排時羅馬拼音位漢字下方，直排時位漢字左側。

3.3.3 Positioning of Zhuyin Interlinear Annotations 注音符号标音的排版 注音符號標音的排版

3.3.3.2 Choice of Size and Ratio for Zhuyin Symbols 注音符号的比例与大小 注音符號的比例與大小

1. The size of Zhuyin annotation marks, including the phonetic symbols and their tones, should not exceed the size of the corresponding base characters. When Zhuyin annotation marks are placed above or to the right side of the base characters, the width of the Zhuyin annotation marks should not exceed the size of the corresponding base characters.

   为汉字标注注音时，注文（注音及其调号）尺寸原则上不大于其受注汉字（基文）。注文位基字上方时的宽度或位基字右方时的高度，原则上不应超过基字的宽高。

   為漢字標注注音時，注文（注音及其調號）尺寸原則上不大於其受注漢字（基文）。注文位基字上方時的寬度或位基字右方時的高度，原則上不應超過基字之寬高。

2. When Zhuyin annotations are placed to the right side of base characters, in principle they should take half of the space of the corresponding base characters. The space should include the phonetic symbols as well as the tone marks. Zhuyin annotations without tone marks, such as the level tone in Mandarin, should take the same amount of space as annotations with tone marks.

   当注音标注在基字右侧时，原则上占用文字尺寸一半的空间。该空间包含字音与调号，无调号的注音（如国语阴平调）所占的注文空间与包含调号者一致。

   當注音標注於基字右側時，原則上佔用文字尺寸一半的空間。該空間包含字音與調號，無調號的注音（如國語陰平調）所佔的注文空間與包含調號者一致。

   Note

   In vertical writing mode, when Zhuyin annotations are placed to the right side of the base characters (vertical Zhuyin), the line gap of the paragraph, where the Zhuyin annotations should be placed, needs more than 1.5 times that of the base characters. The type area should be designed to allow the proper space for the line gap. If the line gap is more than 1.5 times that of the height of the base character, the line gap should not be affected, whether there are Zhuyin annotations between the lines or not.

   文字直排、注音置于基字右侧时，段落通常需要基字尺寸1.5倍以上的行距，注文应标注在此行距间，设计版心时须先取适当行距值。段落行距在基字尺寸1.5倍以上时，行距不应受注音标注与否的影响。

   文字直排、注音置於基字右側時，段落通常需要基字尺寸1.5倍以上的行距，注文應標注於此行距間，設計版心時須先取適當行距值。段落行距在基字尺寸1.5倍以上時，行距不應受注音標注與否的影響。

   Note

   In horizontal writing mode, when Zhuyin annotations are placed to the right side of the base characters (vertical Zhuyin), the spaces between the base characters, where the Zhuyin annotations are placed, should be at least half of the width of those characters. To achieve grid alignment, the characters without Zhuyin annotations, such as punctuation marks, Western words and indented space should keep the same space as well.

   文字横排、注音置于基字右侧时，段落间的汉字皆须预留基字尺寸一半以上的字距，每字皆然，注文应标注在此字距间。在纵横对齐的原则下，未标注注文的文字（如标点符号、西文词组、首行缩进的字数等）也会预留相同的空间。

   文字橫排、注音置於基字右側時，段落間的漢字皆須預留基字尺寸一半以上的字距，每字皆然，注文應標注於此字距間。在縱橫對齊的原則下，未標注注文的文字（如標點符號、西文詞組、首行縮進的字數等）也會預留相同的空間。

3. In principle, the size of Zhuyin annotations (including the phonetic symbols and the tone marks) to that of base characters ratio should be 3:10. In vertical Zhuyin, Zhuyin annotations should be vertically center-aligned to the base character, while in horizontal Zhuyin, Zhuyin annotations should be center-aligned over the base character beneath them.

   原则上，注文中各个符号（注音及调号）的尺寸与基字比3:10。直排注音时，注文整体垂直向基字置中对齐；横排注音时，注文整体水平向基字居中对齐。

   原則上，注文中各個符號（注音及調號）的尺寸與基字比3:10。直排注音時，注文整體垂直向基字置中對齊；橫排注音時，注文整體水平向基字置中對齊。

   Note

   The percentage rules above assume that all the tone marks (ˊˇˋ˪˫ㆴㆵㆶㆷ) and the neutral tone mark (˙) are set with the same font size as that of the base characters.

   所用字体中，平上去入声（ˊˇˋ˪˫ㆴㆵㆶㆷ）及轻声（˙）等调号皆应与汉字尺寸一致，方适用以上比例。

   所用字體中，平上去入聲（ˊˇˋ˪˫ㆴㆵㆶㆷ）及輕聲（˙）等調號皆應與漢字尺寸一致，方適用以上比例。

   In vertical Zhuyin, the width of the space taken by the neutral tone mark does not change but the height ratio to the base character should be 1:15. In horizontal Zhuyin, the height of the space taken by the neutral tone mark does not change but the width ratio to the base character should be 1:15.

   直排注音时，轻声符宽度不变，高度与基字比1:15；横排注音时，轻声符的高度不变，宽度与基字比1:15。

   直排注音時，輕聲符寬度不變，高度與基字比1:15；橫排注音時，輕聲符的高度不變，寬度與基字比1:15。

4. When annotating Zhuyin for paragraphs with characters in larger sizes, the size of the Zhuyin annotations can be adjusted accordingly.

   为字号较大的段落（如标题）标注注音时，可视情况调整注音符号的比例与大小。

   為字號較大的段落（如標題）標注注音時，可視情況調整注音符號的比例與大小。

3.3.4.3 Words as the Basic Units for Annotating Pronunciation 分词连写标音 分詞連寫標音

1. The base text contains one or more Han characters. Rules for separating terms can be found in Basic Rules of Hanyu Pinyin Orthography (GB/T 16159—2012).

   基文为一个或多个汉字构成的词语。分词连写规则可依据《汉语拼音正词法基本规则》（GB/T 16159—2012）。

   基文為一個或多个漢字構成的詞語。分詞連寫規則可依據《汉语拼音正词法基本规则》（GB/T 16159—2012）。

2. Annotations sometimes appear below the Han characters.

   注文有时在下方。

   注文有時在下方。

3. Both the phonetic annotations and the base text are separated at word boundaries. The adjacent annotations are separated by an approximately 1/2 em wide space, while the tracking inside the base text is usually normal.

   正文与标音双方皆分词连写。相邻基文之间有约1/2em的空格隔开，基文内部字距通常正常。

   正文與標音雙方皆分詞連寫。相鄰基文之間有約1/2em的空格隔開，基文內部字距通常正常。

4. Many word-based annotations indicate the logic of the whole sentence, rather than merely the pronunciation: these phonetic annotations have capitalized sentences and capitalized proper names. Punctuation may also be included in these annotations, but is kept with a preceding annotation, as shown in Figure 25, and doesn't appear over the punctuation in the base text.

   许多分词连写标音用例体现出对整个句子标音的逻辑，而非简单对词语标音：注文有句首大写、专名首字母大写。有标点，标点跟随左侧（前方）注文，如Figure 25所示。

   許多分詞連寫標音用例體現出對整個句子標音的邏輯，而非簡單對詞語標音：注文有句首大寫、專名首字母大寫。有標點，標點跟隨左側（前方）注文，如Figure 25所示。

3.3.5 Atypical Cases for Han character Phonetic Annotations 汉字标音的非典型情况 漢字標音的非典型情況

3.3.5.1 Erhuayin 儿化音 兒化音

Erhuayin, also known as rhotacization of syllable finals, is a special phonetic phenomenon in Modern Standard Chinese (Mandarin). Due to the limitations of annotating single Han characters, the Zhuyin annotations fail to indicate the continuity of Erhuayin and the change of the final sound, while Romanization shows the features of Erhuayin effectively.

对现代标准汉语的特殊语音现象——儿化，注音符号受制于其标注单个汉字的局限，难以准确表达儿化音节的连续性及韵母变音，需要在正文或附注中额外说明；罗马拼音则可有效标注此现象。

對現代標準漢語的特殊語音現象——兒化，注音符號受制於其標注單個漢字的局限，難以準確表達兒化音節的連續性及韻母變音，需要在正文或附注中額外說明；羅馬拼音則可有效標注此現象。

3.3.6 Positioning of Bilingual Annotations 中外文对照的排版 中外文對照的排版

Typesetting of bilingual annotations is actually quite similar to that of Romanization. Annotations are usually placed to the right of the base text in vertical writing mode, or above the base text in horizontal writing mode.

中外文对照的排版方式与罗马拼音标音类似，多位于受注文本片段顶端——直排时在基文右侧，横排时在基文上方。

中外文對照的排版方式與羅馬拼音標音類似，多位於受注文本片段頂端——直排時位基文右側，橫排時位基文上方。

3.3.7 Positioning of Interlinear Comments 行间批语的排版 行間批語的排版

Interlinear comments can have very varied layouts and lengths. They are usually placed at the foot side of the annotated text — to the left side of the base text in vertical writing mode or below the base text in horizontal writing mode. Sometimes the interlinear comments are in other colors to help the reader tell the difference from the body text.

行间批语的格式多变且内容长度不一，通常位于受注的文本片段底端——直排时位基文左侧，横排时位基文下方。为与正文区隔，有时以不同于正文文字的颜色来显示。

行間批語的格式多變且內容長度不一，通常位於受注的文本片段底端——直排時位基文左側，橫排時位基文下方。為與正文區隔，有時以不同於正文文字的顏色來顯示。

Interlinear comments are also used to explain the context and details of a longer text fragment. In such cases, due to the ambiguity of the base text, the annotation can find a suitable place as an anchor and flow down. There's no strict requirement for its length, and sometimes it can be longer than one line.

行间批语可用于解释一段长文本的整体语境。这种情况下，由于没有明确的基文，其注文常从一个合适的锚点位置展开并向后延伸，长度不拘，有时可超过一行。

行間批語可用於解釋一段長文本的整體語境。這種情況下，由於沒有明確的基文，其注文常自一個合適的錨點位置展開並向後延伸，長度不拘，時可超過一行。

3.4.1 First-line Indents 段首缩排 段首縮排

A paragraph, a section of a document which consists of one or more sentences to indicate a distinct idea, usually begins on a new line. For the related first-line indents, the following methods are available.

为使不同的文本形成意义上的区隔、构成段落，呈现上，会使用断行以标示一个段落的起始，同时也会在段落首行加上空白进行缩排（也称为缩进），原则上以文本的汉字大小作为缩排单位，主要呈现方法如下。

為使不同的文本形成意義上的區隔、構成段落，呈現上，會使用斷行以標示一個段落的起始，同時也會在段落首行加上空白進行縮排（也稱為縮進），原則上以文本的漢字大小作為縮排單位，主要呈現方法如下。

1. First-line indents are applied to all paragraphs. Nearly all books and magazines make use of this method.

   所有段落首行皆缩排。几乎所有的书籍与杂志皆使用此方法。

   所有段落首行皆縮排。幾乎所有的書籍與雜誌皆使用此方法。

2. First-line indents do not apply to the first paragraph but to the rest of the paragraphs. This method is mostly seen in Western publications.

   篇章最初段落的首行不缩排，其余段落首行缩排。此方法多见于西文书籍。

   篇章最初段落的首行不縮排，其餘段落首行縮排。此方法多見於西文書籍。

3. No first-line indent is applied to any paragraph. A certain amount of space is inserted between the paragraphs so as to indicate the distinction between different paragraphs. In some books and magazines this method is applied.

   所有段落首行皆不缩排，在段落与段落间加入一定程度的间距，作为间隔。部分书籍与杂志使用这种方式。

   所有段落首行皆不予縮排，在段落與段落間加入一定程度的間距，以為區隔。部分書籍與雜誌使用這種方式。

4. In principle, some unfinished paragraphs should be broken rather than apply the first-line indents for the following paragraph. Dialogs, quotations or subtitles that the editor inserted might appear before the unfinished paragraph.

   原则上，部分语气未完的段落予以断行、而不缩排。语气未完的段落前可能出现对话、引言以及为与正文有所区隔，由编辑所下的标题等。

   原則上，部分語氣未完的段落予以斷行、而不縮排。語氣未完的段落前可能出現對話、引言，及為與正文有所區隔，由編輯所下的標題等。

In principle, there is no extra space between paragraphs in Chinese books. The space between the last line of the previous paragraph and the first line of the next paragraph stays the same as the space between the rest of the lines in the paragraph. If a blank line is inserted after a paragraph, usually it indicates the end of the section or chapter. If there is no indent but extra space is added among the lines as an indication of separation, no blank line should be inserted to indicate the end of the section or chapter.

原则上，在中文书籍排版中各段落间不使用间距，前段落末行、后段落首行与段落内行距一致。若段落间加入空白行，则表示一节的结束。但段落首行不缩排时所加入的段落间距则与传统排版有所差异，不适合加入空行做节的区分，避免过多的留空造成体例不良。

原則上，在中文書籍排版中各段落間不使用間距，前段落末行、後段落首行與段落內行距一致。若段落間加入空白行，則表示一節的結束。但段落首行不縮排時所加入的段落間距則與傳統排版有所差異，不適合加入空行做節的區分，避免過多的留空造成體裁不良。

Alongside the case of applying indents to the beginning of all lines, there is also the method that indents the second and following lines of the paragraph, called tupai [凸排] or itemization, used in cases such as dramatic script lines and lines starting with the name of a person. Numbered lists of items, questions and answers (Q&A), and legal provisions utilise this method as well. Though called tupai [凸排] or itemization, the beginning of the line should not go beyond the type area.

除缩排外，也有首行不缩排、次行起至末行缩排的状况，称为凸排。例如剧本中的对白，首行以人名开头不缩排，第二行起缩排。编号列表、问答、法律条文等也使用此种方式处理。虽称为凸排，但首行开始处不超过版心所设定的范围。

除縮排外，也有首行不縮排、次行起至末行縮排的狀況，稱為凸排。例如劇本中的對白，首行以人名開頭不縮排，第二行起縮排。編號列表、問答、法律條文等也使用此種方式處理。雖稱為凸排，但首行開始處不超過版心所設定的範圍。

When the tupai [凸排] or itemization method is used, the indent of the second line and the rest usually takes a fixed amount of space such as three characters plus one colon which takes four-character space. When the name of a person is less than three characters, a certain amount of space should be inserted between the characters so as to keep the same width as four.

凸排时，次行起缩排通常为固定量的空白，例如人名三个字加冒号共四字，凡遇对话时次行皆缩排四个全角空白。当人名少于三个字时，则在姓与名间加入空白，以保持体例一致。

凸排時，次行起縮排通常為固定量的空白，例如人名三字加冒號共四字，凡遇對話時次行皆縮排四個全型空白。遇人名少於三字時，則於姓與名間加入空白，以保持體例一致。

3.4.2 Paragraph Indent 段落缩排 段落縮排

The paragraph indent is the indentation of the line head by a fixed amount, starting from the line head side of the type area (in the case of one column) or of the column area (in the case of several columns). This method is usually applied for quotations, poetry or subtitles in a paragraph or between the paragraphs.

段落缩排是指将版心（单栏排版时）以及栏的范围（多栏排版时）由行头侧以指定的量，将文字开始位置向后移动的处理。此种缩排方式多应用于段落内或段落间引用文章、诗词及标题等。

段落縮排係指將版心（單欄排版時）以及欄的範圍（多欄排版時）由行頭側以指定的量，將文字開始位置向後移動的處理。此種縮排方式多應用於段落內或段落間引用文章、詩詞及標題等。

3.4.3 Single Line Alignment Processing 单行对齐处理 單行對齊處理

Line alignment method is a process for setting the alignment of each line of text so that the actual position of the text can be matched with their preset position. "Single line alignment" is a process for setting alignment for a run of text that is shorter than a given line length. This method is frequently used for items, headings, and poems. The following methods are available.

对齐系指使段落间各行文字实际配置位置能够与默认的文字配置位置符合。此处的「单行对齐」是指针对行长比预定行长更短的单行文字进行对齐的处理。这种方法常用于并排项目、标题和诗词等等。有着以下作法：

對齊係指使段落間各行文字實際配置位置能夠與預設的文字配置位置符合。此處的「單行對齊」是指針對行長比預定行長更短的單行文字進行對齊的處理。這種方法常用於並排項目、標題和詩詞等等。有著以下作法：

1. Centering

   居中对齐

   置中對齊

   The space between adjacent characters is, in principle, set solid, but the Han-Western spacing and the spacing around brackets can be adjusted according to the typesetting style. The center of the character sequence is unified with the center of the line, and the amount of spacing at the line head and line end is made equal.

   行内文字原则上密排，但可以依据排版风格对中西间距和夹注符号进行调整。文字列的中央与行的中央对齐排列，行首与行尾的空白量均等。

   行內文字原則上密排，但可以依據排版風格對中西間距和夾註符號進行調整。文字列的中央與行的中央對齊排列，行首與行尾的空白量均等。

2. Line head alignment

   行首对齐

   行首對齊

   The space between adjacent characters is, in principle, set solid, but the Han-Western spacing and the spacing around brackets can be adjusted according to the typesetting style. The start of the character sequence is unified with the line head, and if the line is not full, the line end is kept empty.

   行内文字原则上密排，但可以依据排版风格对中西间距和夹注符号进行调整。文字列开头与预设行首位置对齐，该行末字至行尾使用空白。

   行內文字原則上密排，但可以依據排版風格對中西間距和夾註符號進行調整。文字列開頭與預設行首位置對齊，該行末字至行尾使用空白。

3. Line end alignment

   行尾对齐

   行尾對齊

   The space between adjacent characters is, in principle, set solid, but the Han-Western spacing and the spacing around brackets can be adjusted according to the typesetting style. The end of the character sequence is unified with the line end, and if the line is not full, the line head is kept empty.

   行内文字原则上密排，但可以依据排版风格对中西间距和夹注符号进行调整。该行首字至行首使用空白。

   行內文字原則上密排，但可以依據排版風格對中西間距和夾註符號進行調整。該行首字至行首使用空白。

4. Even inter-character spacing

   均排

   均排

   The space between adjacent characters is, in principle, set solid, but the Han-Western spacing and the spacing around brackets can be adjusted according to the typesetting style. Using the spacing made available during line adjustment processing, equal character spacing is applied where possible. The start of the character sequence is aligned to the position of the line head, and the end of the character sequence to the position of the line end.

   行内文字原则上密排，但可以依据排版风格对中西间距和夹注符号进行调整。文字列开头与行首位置对齐然后按照行调整的拉伸处理原则，将空白平均置于该行各字间，让文字列末尾与行尾位置对齐。

   行內文字原則上密排，但可以依據排版風格對中西間距和夾註符號進行調整。文字列開頭與行首位置對齊然後按照行調整的拉伸處理原則，將空白平均置於該行各字間，讓文字列末尾與行尾位置對齊。

   Two use cases for even inter-character spacing:

   均排多见于以下两种状况：

   均排多見於以下兩種狀況：

   1. A frequently seen case of even inter-character spacing is that, after applying the punctuation prohibition rules to each line, some lines will have more than one character space left, so in order to align the beginning and ending with the rest of the lines, this line should apply even inter-character spacing.

      此种情况较常见。各行套用标点禁则处理后，部分行行内将剩余一个字以上的空白，为符合中文排版段落头尾对齐的规则，该行以均排处理；段落末行或段落仅有一行时则不使用均排。

      此種情況較常見。各行套用標點禁則處理後，部分行行內將剩餘一字以上的空白，為符合中文排版段落頭尾對齊的規則，該行以均排處理；於段落末行或段落僅有一行時則不使用均排。

   2. Even inter-character spacing is often used for listing names of people or objects. The last line of a paragraph or a paragraph with only one line can have even inter-character spacing applied as well.

      在列表中，如列举人名、物品名时，采均排以求体例一致，当段落末行或段落仅有一行时，亦使用均排。

      於列表，如列舉人名、物品名時，採均排以求體例一致，於段落末行或段落僅有一行時，亦使用均排。

3.4.4 Handling of Widows and Orphans 孤行与孤字处理 孤行與孤字處理

In the tradition of Chinese composition, an orphan does not make a line, nor does a widow make a page. The principles are as described below.

中文排版传统上有着“孤字不成行、孤行不成页”的规则。实际原则如下：

中文排版傳統上有著「孤字不成行、孤行不成頁」的規則。實際原則如下：

1. If there is only one character or one character with a punctuation mark left in the last line of a paragraph, this character is called an orphan. An orphan can be processed using the following methods, so that more than two characters can be positioned in the last line of a paragraph.

   若段落末行仅有一个汉字，或一个汉字加上标点符号，即为孤字。孤字可以以下方法处理，使段落末行能有两个汉字以上：

   若段落末行僅有一個漢字，或一個漢字加上標點符號，即為孤字。孤字可以以下方法處理，使段落末行能有兩個漢字以上：

   1. Similar to the handling for the prohibition rule that punctuation marks should not appear at the line start, the last character of the previous line can be moved to the next line, and the previous line should apply even inter-character spacing.

      按照避头点的处理方式，由前一行取一字至末行，前一行采均排。

      比照避頭點的處理方式，由前一行取一字至末行，前一行採均排。

   2. Delete some character(s) from the previous paragraph so that there will be enough space to move the orphan back to the previous line.

      删减该段落文字，使孤字缩进段落前一行。

      刪減該段落文字，使孤字縮進段落前一行。

   3. Add more characters to the last line.

      在该段落增加文字。

      於該段落增加文字。

   Note

   The definition of orphan in Chinese typesetting has some similarity with the definition of orphan in Latin typesetting. Refer to section 5.2 of Requirements for Latin Text Layout and Pagination.

   孤字的定义近似于拉丁文字排版中orphan的概念，可参考《拉丁文字排版与分页需求》5.2节，其定义也随排版者有所不同。

   孤字之定義近似於拉丁文字排版中orphan的概念，可參考《拉丁文字排版與分頁需求》5.2節，其定義也隨排版者有所不同。

2. If the first line of a paragraph in a page is the last line of a paragraph from the previous page, it is called a widow. A widow can be handled via the following methods.

   若页面中第一行为前一页最后一个段落的末行，即为孤行。孤行可以以下方法处理。

   若頁面中第一行為前一頁最後一個段落的末行，即為孤行。孤行可以以下方法處理：

   1. Move the widow line to the previous page and it can go beyond the type area.

      将孤行移至前一页，使其突出版心。

      將孤行移至前一頁，使其突出版心。

   2. Move the last line of the previous page to join the widow.

      前一页最后段落取一行置于该页。

      前一頁最後段落取一行置於該頁。

   3. Delete some characters from the paragraph so that there will be enough space for the widow to be moved back to the previous page.

      删除该段落文字，使该行能纳入前一页的段落。

      刪除該段落文字，使該行能納入前一頁之段落。

   4. Add more characters to the widow so that there will be more than two lines on the page.

      在该段落增加文字，让该行文字能够超过一行以上。

      於該段落增加文字，讓該行文字能夠超過一行以上。

   Note

   The definition of widow in Chinese typesetting has some similarity with the definition of widow in Latin typesetting. Refer to section 5.1 of Requirements for Latin Text Layout and Pagination.

   孤行之定义近似于拉丁文字排版中widow的概念，可参考《拉丁文字排版与分页需求》5.1 节。

   孤行之定義近似於拉丁文字排版中widow的概念，可參考《拉丁文字排版與分頁需求》5.1節。

Orphans and widows might differ in the cases below:

孤字孤行有着程度差异，如：

孤字孤行有著程度差異，如：

1. There is only one line in a page and the line consists of one character and a punctuation mark, which makes the text an orphan and widow at the same time.

   一页仅有一行，该行仅有一个字与标点。即孤字孤行同时出现。

   一頁僅有一行，該行僅有一字與標點。即孤字孤行同時出現。

2. There are multiple paragraphs in a page but the first line is a widow and the first line consists of one character and a punctuation mark, which makes the orphan and widow appear together.

   一页有复数段落，第一行为孤行，且该行仅有一字与标点。即孤字孤行同时出现。

   一頁有複數段落，第一行為孤行，且該行僅有一字與標點。即孤字孤行同時出現。

3. There is only one line in a page, which makes the line a widow.

   一页仅有一行，该行为孤行。

   一頁僅有一行，該行為孤行。

4. There are multiple paragraphs in a page but the first line is a widow.

   一页有复数段落，第一行为孤行。

   一頁有複數段落，第一行為孤行。

5. There are multiple paragraphs in a page but one of the lines consists of one character only, which make the only character an orphan.

   一页有复数段落，其中某一段落末行仅有一字，该字为孤字。

   一頁有複數段落，其中某一段落末行僅有一字，該字為孤字。

There are different viewpoints on how the orphans and widows should be handled in the cases above due to differences between publishers. Case (a) and case (b) have a bigger affect on typesetting while case (c) affects it less. Cases (d) and (e) are rarely seen.

以上状况是否需进行处理，各排版者有不同的标准。其中（a）与（b）对体裁的影响较 为严重，（c）次之，（d）与（e）的处理则较少见。

以上狀況是否需進行處理，各排版者有不同的標準。其中a.與b. 對體裁的影響較為嚴重，c.次之，d.與e.之處理則較少見。

3.5.1 Necessity for Line Adjustment 行内调整的必要性 行內調整的必要性

There are numerous reasons, e.g. § 3.1.4 Prohibition Rules for Line Start and Line End 行首行尾禁则 行首行尾禁則, that result in line lengths being uneven. Under such circumstances, line adjustment is required. With the exception of § 3.1.5 Prohibition Rules for Unbreakable Marks 符号分离禁则 符號分離禁則, a run of text may be broken at the specified line length, allowing the text to be arranged into even rows. Other than the last line of a paragraph, the start and end of a line must be placed at the specified line start and line end position respectively. The last line of the paragraph will be adjusted accordingly to the overall flow of the text with adjustments made to the width of its punctuation. It is not necessary for the end of the last line to be aligned with the rest of the text. Please refer to § 3.4.4 Handling of Widows and Orphans 孤行与孤字处理 孤行與孤字處理. If the text only comprises of 1 line, please refer to § 3.4.3 Single Line Alignment Processing 单行对齐处理 單行對齊處理.

由于§ 3.1.4 Prohibition Rules for Line Start and Line End 行首行尾禁则 行首行尾禁則等原因造成行的长度长短不一，这时需要进行「行内调整」。在除了§ 3.1.5 Prohibition Rules for Unbreakable Marks 符号分离禁则 符號分離禁則以外的的地方，先将整段文字按照指定的行长断开，排列成行。对于除了段落最后一行以外的各行，其行首、行尾必须分别放到指定行长的位置。对于段落最后一行，原则上按照排版风格进行标点宽度调整即可，末尾没有必要与指定行长的行尾对齐；最后一行需要调整的特殊情况，请参照§ 3.4.4 Handling of Widows and Orphans 孤行与孤字处理 孤行與孤字處理。而当段落有且仅有一行时，请参照§ 3.4.3 Single Line Alignment Processing 单行对齐处理 單行對齊處理。

由於§ 3.1.4 Prohibition Rules for Line Start and Line End 行首行尾禁则 行首行尾禁則等原因造成行的長度長短不一，這時需要進行「行內調整」。在除了§ 3.1.5 Prohibition Rules for Unbreakable Marks 符号分离禁则 符號分離禁則以外的的地方，先將整段文字按照指定的行長斷開，排列成行。對於除了段落最後一行以外的各行，其行首、行尾必須分別放到指定行長的位置。對於段落最後一行，原則上按照排版風格進行標點寬度調整即可，末尾沒有必要與指定行長的行尾對齊；最後一行需要調整的特殊情況，請參照§ 3.4.4 Handling of Widows and Orphans 孤行与孤字处理 孤行與孤字處理。而當段落有且僅有一行時，請參照§ 3.4.3 Single Line Alignment Processing 单行对齐处理 單行對齊處理。

There are a number of reasons for line adjustment, mainly:

造成需要行内调整的原因有很多，主要有：

造成需要行內調整的原因有很多，主要有：

1. Lines which are interspersed with many European numerals, Latin letters or other non-full width characters;

   行内夹杂了阿拉伯数字、西文等非一个汉字字宽的字符；

   行內夾雜了阿拉伯數字、西文等非一個漢字字寬的字符；

2. Instances where punctuation marks occur consecutively and still remain uneven after § 3.1.6.2 Adjustment of adjacent punctuation marks 连续标点符号的调整 連續標點符號的調整;

   标点符号连续出现，且按照§ 3.1.6.2 Adjustment of adjacent punctuation marks 连续标点符号的调整 連續標點符號的調整的原则性调整之后与事先设定的行长不一致；

   標點符號連續出現，且按照§ 3.1.6.2 Adjustment of adjacent punctuation marks 连续标点符号的调整 連續標點符號的調整的原則性調整之後與事先設定的行長不一致；

3. Lines containing characters of different font sizes;

   行内混用不同字号，比如该行有「行内夹注」并使用了小一些的字号；

   行內混用不同字號，比如該行有「行內夾註」並使用了小一些的字號；

4. After the processing of punctuation in accordance with § 3.1.4 Prohibition Rules for Line Start and Line End 行首行尾禁则 行首行尾禁則.

   标点符号依照§ 3.1.4 Prohibition Rules for Line Start and Line End 行首行尾禁则 行首行尾禁則进行了处理。

   標點符號依照§ 3.1.4 Prohibition Rules for Line Start and Line End 行首行尾禁则 行首行尾禁則進行了處理。

In contrast to Western typesetting, the body text in Chinese books are rarely left-aligned, and instead should be justified. Justification of Western texts hinges on the adjustment of space between the words on a line, whereas there are more options for line justification when it comes to Chinese typesetting.

与西文排版不同，中文排版特别是书籍正文排版极少使用左齐右不齐，原则上应该进行两端对齐。西文排版两端对齐（justification）时，主要是调整单词之间的间隙（词距），而中文排版在两端对齐时，能调整的地方更多，具体如下所述。

與西文排版不同，中文排版特別是書籍正文排版極少使用左齊右不齊，原則上應該進行兩端對齊。西文排版兩端對齊（justification）時，主要是調整單詞之間的間隙（詞距），而中文排版在兩端對齊時，能調整的地方更多，具體如下所述。

Line adjustments are predicated upon the amount of available space, for example, spacing between Western words, § 3.1.6.1 Punctuation Adjustment Space 标点符号的调整空间 標點符號的調整空間, and so on. There are two methods for line adjustment:

行内调整的对象是需要按照预先定义的可调整空间，如西文词距、§ 3.1.6.1 Punctuation Adjustment Space 标点符号的调整空间 標點符號的調整空間等等。行内调整有以下两种方法：

行內調整的對象是需要按照預先定義的可調整空間，如西文詞距、§ 3.1.6.1 Punctuation Adjustment Space 标点符号的调整空间 標點符號的調整空間等等。行內調整有以下兩種方法：

1. Reduction of Inter-Character Spacing: Inter-character spacing like those between Western words, mixed texts, or as described in § 3.1.6.1 Punctuation Adjustment Space 标点符号的调整空间 標點符號的調整空間, should be reduced in accordance to the prevailing typesetting style.

   挤压处理：「挤压处理」是指按照预先规定的排版风格，压缩西文词距、中西间距和§ 3.1.6.1 Punctuation Adjustment Space 标点符号的调整空间 標點符號的調整空間等处的做法。

   擠壓處理：「擠壓處理」是指按照預先規定的排版風格，壓縮西文詞距、中西間距和§ 3.1.6.1 Punctuation Adjustment Space 标点符号的调整空间 標點符號的調整空間等處的做法。

2. Expansion of Inter-Character Spacing: Inter-character spacing like those between Western words, mixed texts or scenarios that are not limited by prohibition rules should be added in accordance to the prevailing typesetting style.

   拉伸处理：「拉伸处理」是指按照预先规定的排版风格，拉伸西文词距、中西间距以及其他未被特殊规定禁止调整等处的做法。

   拉伸處理：「拉伸處理」是指按照預先規定的排版風格，拉伸西文詞距、中西間距以及其他未被特殊規定禁止調整等處的做法。

In order to make the composition tighter and more readable, the guiding principle is to attempt to implement space reduction first. In the event that is insufficient, then space can be added where acceptable to achieve justification.

出于紧凑易读、节约版面的思路，行内调整要遵循「先挤压、后拉伸」的原则，即应该先挤压处理，仍旧无法满足需求之后再进行拉伸处理。

出於緊湊易讀、節約版面的思路，行內調整要遵循「先擠壓、後拉伸」的原則，即應該先擠壓處理，仍舊無法滿足需求之後再進行拉伸處理。

3.5.3 Procedures for Inter-Character Spacing Reduction 挤压处理的优先顺序 擠壓處理的優先順序

Inter-character spacing reduction should be processed according to the following steps, in order of precedence:

行内调整的挤压处理，应该按照下述步骤，确定挤压的优先顺序后依次进行处理：

行內調整的擠壓處理，應該按照下述步驟，確定擠壓的優先順序後依次進行處理：

1. At the end of a line: adjusted to fixed half a character width.

   位于行末的标点。调成固定的半个汉字宽。

   位於行末的標點。調成固定的半個漢字寬。

   Note

2. Spacing between Western texts: for lines with numerous instances of Western text, their spacing should be processed at the same time, with equal treatment. The minimum space between each Western text should be quarter of a character width.

   位于行内的西文词距。一行内若有多处西文词距，应该同时、同等量处理，每个西文词距最小可以挤压到四分之一汉字宽。

   位於行內的間隔號。擠壓時必須同時從字面兩側、同等量處理，最小擠到0，即變成半個漢字字寬。

4. Brackets: space reduction can take place before the opening bracket and after the closing bracket. If multiple brackets occur within the same line, their space reduction should be processed at the same time, with equal treatment. Space can be reduced until the bracket is half a character width.

   位于行内的夹注符号。可以对开始夹注符号的前侧、结束夹注符号的后侧进行挤压，最小可以挤压到半个汉字字宽。一行内如有多处，应该同时、同等量处理。

   位於行內的夾註符號。可以對開始夾註符號的前側、結束夾註符號的後側進行擠壓，最小可以擠壓到半個漢字字寬。壹行內如有多處，應該同時、同等量處理。

5. Commas, secondary commas and semi-colons: space reduction should follow § 3.1.6.1 Punctuation Adjustment Space 标点符号的调整空间 標點符號的調整空間. Spacing can be reduced at the end of the punctuation mark or equally on either side. If multiple of such punctuations occur within the same line, their space reduction should be processed at the same time, with equal treatment. Space can be reduced until the punctuation mark is half a character width.

   位于行内的逗号、顿号、分号。挤压空间依照§ 3.1.6.1 Punctuation Adjustment Space 标点符号的调整空间 標點符號的調整空間，可以是后侧，也可以是字面两侧同时，最小可以挤压到半个汉字字宽。一行内如有多处，应该同时、同等量处理。

6. Spacing between Han characters and Western texts: if there are numerous instances of mixed texts, space reduction should be processed at the same time, with equal treatment, with the minimum space being one-eighth of a character width.

   行内的中西间距，最小挤为八分之一汉字宽。一行内若有多处，应该同时、同等量处理。

   行內的中西間距，最小擠為八分之一漢字寬。一行內若有多處，應該同時、同等量處理。

   Note

7. Periods, question marks and exclamation marks: in accordance to § 3.1.6.1 Punctuation Adjustment Space 标点符号的调整空间 標點符號的調整空間, if there is available space, spacing can be reduced up until the minimum size of half a character width.

   Note

3.5.4 Procedures for Inter-Character Space Expansion 拉伸处理的优先顺序 拉伸處理的優先順序

Inter-character space expansion should be processed according to the following steps, in order of precedence:

行内调整的拉伸处理，应该按照下述步骤，确定拉伸的优先顺序后依次进行处理：

行內調整的拉伸處理，應該按照下述步驟，確定拉伸的優先順序後依次進行處理：

1. Word spacing between Western texts: for lines with several Western word spaces, these should be processed at the same time, with equal treatment. Each word space can be expanded to a maximum of half a character width.

   西文词距。一行内若有多处西文词距，应该同时、同等量处理，每个西文词距最大可以拉伸到半个汉字字宽。

   西文詞距。一行內若有多處西文詞距，應該同時、同等量處理，每個西文詞距最大可以拉伸到半個漢字字寬。

2. Space between Han characters and Western texts can be expanded from the default width (e.g., a quarter character width). They should be processed at the same time, with equal treatment.

   行内的中西间距，从默认宽度（如四分之一汉字宽）开始拉伸，一行内若有多处，应该同时、同等量处理，最大可拉大到半个汉字字宽。

   行內的中西間距，從默認寬度（如四分之一漢字寬）開始拉伸，一行內若有多處，應該同時、同等量處理，最大可拉大到半個漢字字寬。

   Note

If all the aforementioned adjustments are not applicable, or the desired line length cannot be achieved, only the remaining inter-character spacing may be expanded at the same time, with equal treatment, to achieve text justification. However, there are two exceptions:

若上述所有项目均无法调整，或调整之后依旧无法达到预设行长，则只能针对剩余所有字符间距，进行同时、同等量拉伸，但是：

若上述所有項目均無法調整，或調整之後依舊無法達到預設行長，則只能針對剩餘所有字符間距，進行同時、同等量拉伸，但是：

1. Spacing should not be added to characters stated in § 3.1.5 Prohibition Rules for Unbreakable Marks 符号分离禁则 符號分離禁則.

   禁止对§ 3.1.5 Prohibition Rules for Unbreakable Marks 符号分离禁则 符號分離禁則规定的字间距进行拉伸处理。

2. Avoid adding spacing to connector marks, solidi, and the characters immediately before and after these marks.

   避免对连接号、分隔号与其前后的字符进行拉伸处理。

   避免對連接號、分隔號與其前後的字符進行拉伸處理。

4.1.1 Types of Headings 标题的种类 標題的種類

In terms of text composition, there are three types of headings.

标题依照排版处理方式,可分为三种：

標題依照排版處理方式，可分為以下三種：

• Whole-page headings

  全页标题

  全頁標題

• Block headings

  内文标题

  內文標題

• Run-in headings

  同行标题

  同行標題

Whole page headings are used when there is a need to separate sections in a book, usually on a separate page with the following page left blank. Sometimes subheadings, selected sentences, names of the authors or selected paragraphs will also appear with the heading. The back side of the heading page is not necessarily always blank, for example, consider the Han-tobira in Japanese books, whose following even page is not blank, and is used for the main text.

全页为书籍中需要大幅区分时使用，为了标题而使用一整页，背面为空白。有时还会有副标、摘句、作者名以及图片、部分段落等元素配置其上。有时也有背面不为空白的使用方式。通常在书籍内文开始处，会以扉页标注书名。

全頁為書籍中需要大幅區分時使用，為了標題而使用一整頁，背面為空白。有時還會有副標、摘句、作者名以及圖片、部分段落等元素配置其上。有時也有背面不為空白的使用方式。通常在書籍內文開始處，會以扉頁標注書名。

A block heading is the heading occupying a whole, independent line. The main text is set on the very next line. Top level headings and medium level headings are of this type.

内文标题是以独立一行呈现标题的作法。在标题后换行，直接接续本文。大标与中标等使用这种形式配置。

內文標題是以獨立一行呈現標題的作法。於標題後換行，直接接續本文。大標與中標等使用這種形式配置。

A run-in heading is a heading immediately followed by main text without a line break, and is usually used as a low level heading. Note that a low level heading can also appear as a block heading.

同行标题为标题后接的文章不予换行，而以接续在标题后面继续排列的形式呈现。同行标题主要用于小标。此外，小标也会使用换行标题。

同行標題為標題後接的文章不予換行，而以接續在標題後面繼續排列的形式呈現。同行標題主要利用於小標。此外，小標也會使用換行標題。

4.1.2 Font Selection and Heading Font Size 突显标题的方式 突顯標題的方式

Since they aim to indicate the structural level, most of the time headings have some special way to indicate their level. Here are some rules for the headings:

标题主要是为了呈现阶层结构，所以需要以特别的表现体裁来显示其阶层。标题的表现体裁包含以下几种方式：

標題主要是為了呈現階層結構，所以需要以特別的表現體裁來顯示其階層。標題的表現體裁包含以下幾種方式：

1. Character size for the heading: The character size of headings should be selected in accordance with the level of headings. For example, when the character size of main text is 9 point, the small headings are usually set in 10 points, medium headings are usually set in 12 points and large headings are usually set in 14 points.

   使用不同的文字尺寸呈现标题的阶层，例如，有着大标、中标、小标时，小标比本文文字尺寸(例如:9pt)大一阶段(例如:10pt)，中标则比小标大一阶段(例如:12pt)，大标则比中标大一阶段(例如:14pt)。

   使用不同的文字尺寸呈現標題的階層，例如，有著大標、中標、小標時，小標比本文文字尺寸（例如：9pt）大一階段（例如：10pt），中標則比小標大一階段（例如：12pt），大標則比中標大一階段（例如：14pt）。

   Note

   The character size of headings is usually larger than that of the main text. When this rule is applied, the characters in the heading should be 10% to 20% larger. And the character size of higher level headings is larger than the size of smaller size headings.

   也有采用将本文文字尺寸依照比例放大的方式，使用这方式时，以10%–20%上下，依阶层放大为佳。

   也有採用將本文文字尺寸依照比例放大的方式，使用這方式時，以10%–20%上下，依階層放大為佳。

2. Type faces for headings: Both Hei or bold Song are usually used. Other type face designs like Yuan and Kai are sometimes used as well.

   字体使用黑体，或者采用宋体加粗。此外，也有使用圆体、楷体的案例。

   使用的字體使用黑體，或者採用宋體但加粗。此外，也有使用圓體、楷體的案例。

   Note

   In letterpress printing, when Song is used as the type face of the heading, it is always designed with a larger size; while in digital printing, due to its special typography, simply increasing the font size is not enough, the characters usually use bold style to indicate emphasis.

   活版印刷使用作为标题的宋体字，其活字设计时都会因为供标题使用而字重偏重。但使用数字字体时由于是采内文字设计，放大字级后显得过轻，几乎都会加重字重为粗体。

   活版印刷使用作為標題的宋體字，其活字設計時都會因為供標題使用而字重偏重。但使用數位字體時由於是採內文字設計，放大字級後顯得過輕，幾乎都會加重字重為粗體。

   Note

   When Hei is used as the type face of low level headings, the font-weight should be increased to emphasize the heading.

   使用黑体作为小标时，也都会加重字重，令标题突显。

   使用黑體作為小標時，也都會加重字重，令標題凸顯。

3. Alignment of headings (inline direction): In the case of horizontal writing mode, large headings and medium headings are in most cases center-aligned. In the case of vertical writing mode, headings are usually aligned to the line head with some indent.

   对齐横排的大标与中标使用置中对齐的案例相当多，但直排时，则多使用对齐行首或下字。

   對齊橫排的大標與中標使用置中對齊的案例相當多，但直排時，則多使用對齊行頭或下字。

   Note

   The number of characters of line head indent for a heading depends on the heading level. If the heading level is higher, the indent character number is less, if the heading level is lower, the number of indent characters is more. The character size is based on the main text of the type area. The difference in character numbers is usually around two characters.

   下字时，下字的量一般使用版心设定文字尺寸的两倍汉字的长宽。大标、中标、小标下字量，由各排版者决定，无一定规则。

   下字時，下字的量一般使用版心設定文字尺寸的二倍漢字之長寬。大標、中標、小標下字量，由各排版者決定，無一定規則。

4. Whether to decorate with solid lines, images, or give a symbol on the top of the heading.

   其它加上框线、图片、记号等。

   其他加上框線、圖片、記號等。

4.1.3 How to Handle Headings with New Recto and Page Break 单页起、换页处理 單頁起、換頁處理

A large heading sometimes starts with a new page following a page break, to clearly demarcate the separation between sections, in which case the process below should be followed:

标题为了做出明确区分，而会使用在新页面开始的方法，此时按照以下原则处理。

標題為了作出明確區分，而會使用於新頁面開始的方法，此時以以下原則處理：

1. Always begin with odd pages, i.e. new recto.

   一定要出现于奇数页称为单页起，主要应用于扉页、大标等。

   一定要出現於奇數頁稱為單頁起，主要應用於扉頁、大標等。

   Note

   Vertical writing mode and books bound on the right-hand side begin with a left page, horizontal writing mode and books bound on the left-hand side begin with a right page after a new recto.

   直排右翻书，由左页开始（称为左页起），横排左翻书，由右页开始（称为右页起）。

   直排右翻書，由左頁開始（稱為左頁起），橫排左翻書，由右頁開始（稱為右頁起）。

2. Always begin with new pages, regardless of even pages or odd pages, i.e. page breaking. Used for large headings.

   不分奇数页还偶数页，从新页面开始称为换页。主要用于大标。

   不分奇數頁還偶數頁，從新頁面開始稱為換頁。主要用於大標。

3. When medium headings or small headings appear on the last line of a page and there is no space left for the following paragraphs, the medium headings or small headings should be moved to the next page.

   当中标、小标出现在某一页的最末尾，其后没有空间以至于无法接续内文段落时，由于这样的呈现会使得体裁不良，也会让中标、小标换页，在下一页开头呈现。

   當中標、小標出現於某一頁的最末尾，其後沒有空間以至於無法接續內文段落時，由於這樣的呈現會使得體裁不良，也會讓中標、小標換頁，於下一頁開頭呈現。

4.1.4 Handling of Spaces just before the New Recto, Page Breaks and New Edges 单页起、换页处理时，前一页的处理 單頁起、換頁處理時，前一頁的處理

Spaces just before new rectos, page breaks and new columns are treated as follows (the last pages are treated as the same):

单页起、换页处理时，前一页的排版处理会是问题(最终页的处理亦同)，按照以下原则处理：

單頁起、換頁處理時，前一頁的排版處理會是問題（最終頁的處理亦同），以以下原則處理：

1. In the case of single column typesetting, the spaces just before the new rectos and page breaks are left as they are.

   不分栏排版遇到单页起与换页时，前一页末尾后面留空即可。

   不分欄排版遇到單頁起與換頁時，前一頁末尾後面留空即可。

2. In the case of multiple columns, the remaining space of preceding columns is left as it is.

   换栏时，前一栏末尾后面留空即可。

   換欄時，前一欄末尾後面留空即可。

3. In the case of vertical writing mode, columns are filled with text lines from upper right to lower left. There is no need to align line numbers of the upper column and lower column, and remaining spaces are left as they are.

   直排多栏排版时，由上栏往下栏，各行依序排列，行数可不齐。

   直排多欄排版時，由上欄往下欄，各行依序排列，行數可不齊。

4. In horizontal writing mode and multi-column format, the number of lines for each column is set to be the same, but where the result of the total number of lines divided by the column number chosen for the type area results in an odd number, the last column may have a smaller number of lines and may be followed by a blank space.

   横排多栏排版时，各栏行数原则上需对齐。若无法对齐时，不足的行数在最右栏末尾留空。

   橫排多欄排版時，各欄行數原則上需對齊。若無法對齊時，不足的行數於最右欄末留空。

4.1.5 Processing of Run-in Headings 同行标题的处理方式 同行標題的處理方式

Run-in headings are usually used for low level headings. The following are some examples of run-in headings. Inter-character space between the run-in heading and following main text is usually a one character space of the base character size decided for the type area. Note that the run-in heading may be set at the last line of the page, or of the column in multi column style.

同行标题主要用于小标，以下介绍几个同行标题的配置范例。同行标题与之后接续内文的空白量，一般为版心设定文字尺寸的全角空白。此外，同行标题可以配置于页末。

同行標題主要用於小標，以下介紹幾個同行標題的配置範例。同行標題與之後接續內文的空白量，一般為版心設定文字尺寸的全形空白。此外，同行標題可以配置於頁末。

1. The run-in heading is set with the same character size as the main text and in Hei or Kai.

   与内文采相同文字尺寸，字体改为黑体或者楷体。

   與內文採相同文字尺寸，字體改為黑體或者楷體。

2. Set the run-in heading in a character size not smaller than the main text and use Hei or Kai.

   不比内文文字尺寸较小，字体改为黑体或者楷体。

   不比內文文字尺寸較小，字體改為黑體或者楷體。

   Note

   The space that the run-in headings take is not an integer times larger than the characters in the body content, and the space between the run-in headings and body content can be adjusted so as to align the body content as well as the line start and line end.

   此时同行标题所占空间并非内文文字尺寸的整数倍，所以可调整与内文间的空白量，以避免内文文字无法纵横对齐，或者无法齐行首、行尾。

   此時同行標題所占空間並非內文文字尺寸的整數倍，所以可調整與內文間的空白量，以避免內文文字無法縱橫對齊，或者無法齊行首、行尾。

3. Set the run-in heading with the same character size and typeface as the main text, but add heading numbers or Western characters in front of the heading.

   与内文采用相同文字尺寸与字体，但在前面添加汉字数字或阿拉伯数字。

   與內文採用相同文字尺寸與字體，但於前面添加漢字數字或阿拉伯數字。
