Requirements for Chinese Text Layout

Abstract

This document summarizes text composition requirements in the Chinese writing system. One of the goals of the task force is to describe issues for Chinese layout, another is to describe correspondences with existing standards (such as Unicode), as well as to encourage vendors to implement relevant features correctly.

本文整理了中文（汉字）书写系统于排版上的需求。一方面说明需求事项以明确描述中文排版之需求与问题；另一方面也提出与既有标准（如Unicode）的对应，冀求本文能更有效地促进实现。

本文整理了中文（漢字）書寫系統於排版上的需求。一方面說明需求事項以明確描述中文排版之需求與問題；另一方面也提出與既有標準（如Unicode）的對應，冀求本文能更有效地促進實作。

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，分别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，分別稱為繁體字與簡體字。

Different glyphs are used in different regions. One Unicode code point of a Han 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 Han 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。

Note

One Simplified Chinese character may have more than one corresponding Traditional form. For example, the Simplified Chinese character 发 can be mapped to either the Traditional Chinese character 發 or 髮. By contrast, the circumstances where one Traditional Chinese character corresponds to more than one Simplified Chinese character are fairly rare but still worth noting. For example, the Traditional Chinese character 乾 may be mapped to either the Simplified Chinese character 干 or 乾. The mapping relationship between Traditional and Simplified Chinese is not one-to-one and particular character conversion depends on its context.

一个简体字可能对应多个繁体字，如简体字“发”，其相应的繁体字可能为“發”或“髮”；一个繁体汉字对应多个简体汉字的情况与前者相比数量极少但仍需注意，如繁体字“乾”可能对应简体字“干”或“乾”。繁简汉字的对应关系具体应由上下文决定。

一個簡體字可能對應多個繁體字，如簡體字「发」，其相應的繁體字可能為「發」或「髮」；一個繁體漢字對應多個簡體漢字的情況與前者相比數量極少但仍需注意，如繁體字「乾」可能對應簡體字「干」或「乾」。繁簡漢字的對應關係具體應由上下文決定。

Han 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。

In principle, when composing a line with Han 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。

Note

From the advent of moveable type, each character was set to be flush with one another without any gaps, regardless of vertical or horizontal writing mode. However back then, several sizes of the original pattern of a letter were required to create matrices, while in today's digital era, the same original pattern can be used for any size simply by enlargement or reduction. Because of this, it might be necessary to adjust inter-character spacing when composing lines at large character sizes. When composing lines at small character sizes in outline fonts, hinting data is used to ensure that the width of the strokes that make up a character look correct. When only a small portion of the fonts are smaller, they will be displayed in bitmaps, and there is no need to make extra adjustments.

从活字排版时代起，汉字无论直、横文字外框彼此紧贴配置适于阅读。但活字排版依照文字尺寸不同，各号数之字型原模不同，字面也随之不同。目前数字字体多仅采取单一原型，当文字尺寸放大时，有时需要调整字距。然而，中文汉字的字面率一般较日文字体小，除非在特殊状况下，不需特别处理。另当文字尺寸缩小时，若为向量字体，则需要补正信息来调整文字线幅；但有部分字体在文字尺寸较小时，会以点阵字体呈现，此时就不需另外调整。

從活字排版時代起，漢字無論直、橫文字外框彼此緊貼配置適於閱讀。但活字排版依照文字尺寸不同，各號數之字型原模不同，字面也隨之不同。目前數位字體多僅採取單一原型，當文字尺寸放大時，有時需要調整字距。然而，中文漢字字體面率一般較日文字體小，除非在特殊狀況下，不需特別處理。另當文字尺寸縮小時，若為向量字體，則需要補正訊息來調整文字線幅；但有部分字體在文字尺寸較小時，會以點陣字體呈現，此時就不需另外調整。

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。

Examples of loose setting in horizontal writing mode. — Figure 1 Examples of loose setting in horizontal writing mode: A) 1/4 em spacing; B) 1/3 em spacing; C) 1/2 em spacing; D) 1 em spacing 疏排疏排

It is common in books to increase the tracking 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。

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。
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。
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。
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，为提高易读性，而加大字距。

針對兒童書籍等，為提升易讀性，而加大字距。

Text may be set with equal inter-character spacing between all characters on a given line, so that each line is aligned to the same line head and line end. Since the Han characters and punctuation marks are all in square frames with almost the same dimensions, it is natural that each line is aligned to the same line head and line end. Even inter-character spacing is mainly used in the following cases:

平均分配字距，使文字两端能够对齐行首与行尾。中文排版时，由于使用的汉字与标点符号皆为正方形，自然会使得文字列对齐行首与行尾。这种排列方式主要应用于以下情况：

平均分配字距，使文字兩端能夠對齊行首與行尾。中文排版時，由於使用的漢字與標點符號皆為正方形，自然會使得文字列對齊行首與行尾。這種排列方式主要應用於以下情況：

To deal with rules that forbid certain characters at the beginning or end of a line. When a punctuation mark which is not supposed to be positioned at the end of a line happens to appear there, even inter-character space setting is used to move the character before the punctuation mark to the next line together with the punctuation mark. When a punctuation mark, which is not supposed to be positioned at the beginning of a line, happens to appear there, it is necessary to move the last character from the previous line to the beginning of the next line, and there will be one or two (sometimes more) empty spaces left in the previous line. Even inter-character space setting is used to unify the length of each line and justify them.

行首行尾禁则。当该行行尾遇到不能置于行尾的标点符号，而必须将标点符号与前一汉字移至次行时；或次行行首遇到不能置于行首的标点符号，而必须将移动前一行汉字于次行时，就会在行尾产生一到两字（甚至以上）的空白。由于中文书籍各行首尾对齐是重要的排版规则，此时就会利用均排将两字（以及以上）空白均分至该行各字字距。

行首行尾禁則。當該行行尾遇到不能置於行尾的標點符號，而必須將標點符號與前一漢字移至次行時；或次行行頭遇到不能置於行頭的標點符號，而必須將移動前一行漢字於次行時，就會於行尾產生一到二字（甚至以上）的空白。由於中文書籍各行首尾對齊是重要的排版規則，此時就會利用均排將二字（以及以上）空白均分至該行各字字距。
Even inter-character space setting is used when the number of characters in a table head differs from the table content, such as for person names, so as to justify the table.

表格标题、名单等求呈现一致时，会采用均排的方式处理。

表格標題、名單等求呈現一致時，會採用均排的方式處理。

Example of reduced inter-character spacing in horizontal writing mode. — Figure 2 Reduced inter-character spacing 紧排緊排

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：

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。
Since Han 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。

There are many types of typefaces used in Chinese composition, but the following four typefaces are the most important ones:

中文排版使用的字体种类繁多，但有四种字体最为重要：

中文排版使用的字體種類繁多，但有四種字體最為重要：

Song 宋体宋體
Kai 楷体楷體
Hei 黑体黑體
Fangsong 仿宋体仿宋體

These four typefaces can be used alone in the main text of books, or they can be mixed as well. The following sections introduce their usage scenarios respectively.

这四种字体均既可单独用于图书的长篇正文排版，也可以混合搭配使用。下列各节分别介绍其使用情境。

這四種字體均既可單獨用於圖書的長篇正文排版，也可以混合搭配使用。下列各節分別介紹其使用情境。

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。

Kai also known as Kaiti or regular script, is another major typeface, which provides calligraphic styles for Chinese text. 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 commonly used in official documents and textbooks. Most official documents in Taiwan use Kai in full text.

楷体普遍用于公文书、教科书。台湾的公文书多全文使用楷体。

楷體普遍用於公文書、教科書。臺灣的公文書多全文使用楷體。

Kai can also be combined with other typefaces to be used in text that needs to be differentiated from the rest of the content, for example, headlines, references, quotations, and dialogs.

楷体也可与其他字体搭配，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。

楷體也可與其他字體搭配，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。

Hei, also known as Heiti or Gothic, is a type style characterized by strokes of even thickness and less decoration, as seen in Figure 5.

黑体又作方体，字体特性为笔画宽度平均，较少装饰。如Figure 5所示。

黑體又作方體，字體特性為筆畫寬度平均，較少裝飾。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。

傳統印刷品少使用黑體作為內文文字，但受到萬維網、數位出版的影響，也有少數書籍開始使用黑體作為內文字體。

Hei can also be used with other typefaces. 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.

黑体也可与其他字体搭配，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。

黑體也可與其他字體搭配，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。

Samples of Fangsong — Figure 6 Fangsong (Imitation Song) 仿宋体仿宋體

The Fangsong (Imitation Song) style lies between Song and Kai. As seen in Figure 6.

仿宋体的字体形态介于宋体与楷体之间。如Figure 6所示。

仿宋體的字體形態介於宋體與楷體之間。如Figure 6所示。

Fangsong is often used in literary works and ancient books, while Mainland China stipulates that the official documents of the government should use Fangsong in principle.

仿宋体常用于文艺作品和古籍，而中国大陆则规定政府公文原则上应使用仿宋体。

仿宋體常用於文藝作品和古籍，而中國大陸則規定政府公文原則上應使用仿宋體。

Fangsong can also be used with other typefaces. It is commonly used in secondary titles and isolated paragraphs such as quotations or highlighted sentences.

仿宋体也可与其他字体搭配，常用于副标题和引言、摘句等区别于内文的部分上。

仿宋體也可與其他字體搭配，常用於副標題和引言、摘句等區別於內文的部分上。

Books are usually designed in the following sequence.

中文书籍排版依以下顺序设计：

中文書籍排版依以下順序設計：

First, prepare a template of the page format, which determines the basic appearance of document pages.

首先，设计基本版式。

首先，設計基本版式。
Then, specify the details of actual page elements based on the template.

其次，依照基本版式进行实际页面的设计。

其次，依照基本版式進行實際頁面的設計。

Books usually use one basic template for page format, whereas magazines often use several templates.

书籍多数仅使用一种排版样式，杂志则会使用上数种。

書籍多數僅使用一種排版樣式，雜誌則會使用上數種。

The type area, sometimes called the printing area, is the rectangle in the middle of the page that contains the main body of the text. The text in the type area can be divided into two or more independent parts according to the reading direction of the text. Each independent part is called a "column", and this type of division is called a "multi-column layout".

版心是页面中间包含文本的主体的矩形区域。版心里的文字，可以按照文字阅读方向分割成两个或者更多的独立部分，每个独立部分称为“栏”，而这种分割版式叫“分栏”，根据一页里栏数，可以具体地称为“双栏”“三栏”等各种方式；相对地，将文字直接按照基本版式填满版心、不分栏的方式也可成为“通栏”。

版心是頁面中間包含文本的主體的矩形區域。版心裏的文字，可以按照文字閱讀方向分割成兩個或者更多的獨立部分，每個獨立部分稱為“欄”，而這種分割版式叫“分欄”，根據一頁裏欄數，可以具體地稱為“雙欄”“三欄”等各種方式；相對地，將文字直接按照基本版式填滿版心、不分欄的方式也可成為“通欄”。

Although books tend to use one template for their page format, some further design effort will be needed to extend that template for pages such as the table of contents and indexes. Furthermore, there are many examples of indexes with a different page format than the basic page format, and vertically set books often have indexes in horizontal writing mode, and sometimes multiple columns. This still holds true where the goal is to make the size of the basic page template for indexes close to the size of basic page template in the basic page format.

尽管书籍通常仅使用一种排版样式（即“基本版式”），在实际页面的设计上，如目录、索引等页面，会基于基本版式重新设计。索引等页面采用不同排版样式设计的案例也相当多，直排书索引也会以横排或者多栏排版等方式设计。尽管如此，索引的版心尺寸仍应与基本版式近似。

盡管書籍通常僅使用一種排版樣式（即“基本版式”），在實際頁面的設計上，如目錄、索引等頁面，會基於基本版式重新設計。索引等頁面採用不同排版樣式設計的案例也相當多，直排書索引也會以橫排或者多欄排版等方式設計。盡管如此，索引的版心尺寸仍應與基本版式近似。

Magazines usually contain various kinds of content, which naturally leads to a variety of template designs, different sizes of characters, and varying numbers of columns.

杂志则因内容不同，排版样式多变，文字大小、栏数依照内容不同会有所变化。

雜誌則因內容不同，排版樣式多變，文字大小、欄數依照內容不同會有所變化。

The following are the basic elements of a page format.

排版样式的主要元素如下：

排版樣式的主要元素如下：

Trim size and binding side (vertically set Chinese documents are bound on the right-hand side, and horizontally set documents are bound on the left-hand side.)

完成尺寸与装订线（中文书籍直排为右侧装订、横排为左侧装订）

完成尺寸與裝訂邊（中文書籍直排為右側裝訂、橫排為左側裝訂）

Note

Establishing a type area may be seen as defining not only a rectangular area on a page, but also within that area, an underlying, logical grid to guide the placement of such things as characters, headings, and illustrations. Once the grid is established according to the principles of composition, the setting of the characters must align with the grid. If the content contains Chinese text only, it is important that the first and last characters on a line should align with the border of the type area. When both Chinese text and Western text are mixed in the content, or forbidden locations of punctuation marks need to be taken into consideration, the setting of the content may not align with the grid.

基本版式设定步骤不仅是在页面中设定一个长方形空间，还需要为内文、标题、图片配置等做出一个基础的格子设定。其格子设定于中文排版原则下，内文必须依照格子进行配置。在文章仅由汉字构成的状况下，行首、行尾对齐版心边界是中文书排版重要的原则。但在与西文混排、或配置标点禁则处理时，为遵从本项原则，内文可不按照格子排列。

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」。

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）。
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。
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：此类页面也以基本版式为基准进行排版。但具体实践中，行头、行尾常会添加额外留白；此外，在正文采用单栏排版的同时，此类页面也有可能分为多栏。

目錄、索引、參考文獻：此類頁面也以基本版式為基准進行排版。但具體實踐中，行頭、行尾常會添加額外留白；此外，在正文採用單欄排版的同時，此類頁面也有可能分為多欄。

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。
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。

Note

In most cases the type area is set at the horizontal and vertical center of the trim size, and can then be adjusted depending on its dimensions. This design method is mainly inherited from letterpress printing technology. For desktop publishing, the dimensions of the type area are usually calculated based on the space between the type area and the trim size.

一般而言，版心多置于完成尺寸的的正中央，后依照版心尺寸不同，向上下、左右调整。这种设计方式主要承袭自活字印刷，但在桌面排版中，则多以完成尺寸计算与版心尺寸四方边界之差为之。

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。

There have been different size systems for Chinese fonts. 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：

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 (7.875 pt ≒ 2.8 mm). If a smaller size is used, it will be difficult to read due to the complex structure of Han characters.

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

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。

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。

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：

- 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

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。

Note

Ever since the letterpress printing period, the characters and punctuation marks used for Chinese composition have basically been designed to have a square character frame. Thus the same collection of printing types can be used in either vertical writing mode or horizontal writing mode, simply by changing the direction of text. However, some adjustments will be needed for the punctuation marks so as to match the writing direction of the characters and their composition. This is described in more detail in 3.1.2 Sizes and positions of Punctuation Marks 标点符号的字形、尺寸与字面分布標點符號的字形、尺寸與字面分布.

中文所使用的汉字与标点符号，原则上都是正方形的文字，自活字排版时代起，无论直、横排，都能使用相同的活字排列。但部分标点符号需配合文字书写方向调整字面分布及方向，见3.1.2 Sizes and positions of Punctuation Marks 标点符号的字形、尺寸与字面分布標點符號的字形、尺寸與字面分布节之詳述。

Note

Traditionally, Chinese publications were composed mainly in vertical writing mode, and this tradition has been largely preserved in Taiwan and Hong Kong. However, with the increasing amount of translated publications and mixed-text publications, and the default mode of writing in word processors, horizontal writing mode is becoming more and more popular. In Taiwan, government departments, educational materials and books on natural science mainly use horizontal writing mode while literary works such as poetry and novels still use vertical writing mode. Vertical writing mode still stands as an important cultural characteristic of regions where Traditional Chinese is used.

传统上，中文书籍以直排为主，台湾、香港较大程度地保留了这项传统。然而，近年随着翻译或中、西文混排等书籍的数量增加，加上文字处理软件的预设文字书写方向的影响，横排也逐渐成为主流。在台湾，公文、自然科学类书籍等使用横排居多；而文学作品，如诗、小说等，仍以直排为主。直排仍为繁体中文通行地区的重要文化表征之一。

Note

There is usually only one direction for all text throughout a book, but there are cases where horizontal writing mode is used in certain parts of vertically composed books. Tables, captions for illustrations, running heads, and page numbers are usually composed horizontally in a page with a vertical writing mode.

一份印刷品中，原则上会选用统一的文字书写方向进行排版。但直排印刷品中，页眉、图说、表格等多会混用横排。同时，部分页面，如参考书目、注释等亦可能使用横排呈现。

    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。

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 Han 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 Han 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）。
    
    Figure 8 Arrangement of alphanumerics in vertical writing mode - rotated 90 degrees clockwise. 直排中的西文排版示例2 直排中的西文排版示例2
  - 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 1 em. 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 1 em. 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。
Titles or captions of tables and illustrations.

  Note
  
  In different regions, the arrangement direction of cells described by row (Chinese: 行 háng) and column (Chinese: 列 liè) in Chinese terminology may be different. For example, 行 in mainland China usually refers to a horizontal arrangement of cells, and 列 refers to a vertical arrangement of cells; while 行 in Taiwan and Hong Kong usually refers to a vertical arrangement of cells, and 列 (or 栏) refers to a horizontal arrangement of cells.
  
  在不同的地区，中文术语中的“行”（háng）和“列”（liè）所描述的单元格排列方向，可能是不同的。例如，中国大陆的“行”通常指一组水平排列的单元格，“列”指一组垂直排列的单元格；而台湾、香港地区的“行”通常指一组垂直排列的单元格，“列”（或“栏”）指一组水平排列的单元格。
  
  在不同的地區，中文術語中的「行」（háng）和「列」（liè）所描述的單元格排列方向，可能是不同的。例如，中國大陸的「行」通常指一組水平排列的單元格，「列」指一組垂直排列的單元格；而臺灣、香港地區的「行」通常指一組垂直排列的單元格，「列」（或「欄」）指一組水平排列的單元格。

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。

The usage of Chinese punctuation marks differs across different regions. One major difference is how the character face is handled and positioned relative to the character frame. Punctuation marks are usually center-aligned in the character frame in Taiwan and Hong Kong, while punctuation marks are positioned in the corner of the character frame on the side closest to the preceding text in the Chinese Mainland. The differences and the correct way to layout punctuation marks in different areas will be introduced in detail later.

中文标点符号的排版在各地区有不同的处理方式，其中较显著的差异是其字面分布——台湾、香港多使用符号居中的字形样式，而中国大陆多使用符号尾随受注文字端的字形样式，并依直、横排有不同的处理。下文将详述各地中文标点的异同及准确的配置方式。

Note

CJKV punctuation marks use different glyphs which are visually distinct between languages. Unicode currently does not distinguish each of them with unique codepoints. Usually, we use typefaces corresponding to the locale of the written text or have the layout engines adjust the punctuation marks according to the languages automatically.

Pause or stop punctuation marks are used to indicate pauses or the end of a sentence. Some of the pause or stop punctuation marks appear within a sentence, such as secondary commas, commas, semicolons, colons, etc., while others appear at the end of a sentence, such as periods, question marks and exclamation marks.

点号相对于标号，用于表示语句的停顿或暂停。分为句内点号，如顿号、逗号、分号、冒号等；以及句末点号，如句号、问号、感叹号等。

點號相對於標號，用於表示語句的停頓或暫停。分為句內點號，如頓號、逗號、分號、冒號等；以及句末點號，如句號、問號、驚嘆號等。

Ellipses.

省略号／删节号

刪節號／省略號

Ellipses are used to indicate a truncation of text, an unfinished sentence or a break in speech. An ellipsis in Chinese consists of six dots, takes up the space of two Hanzi characters, and is horizontally and vertically centered within its character frame. This is normally achieved using two U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS characters, side-by-side.
省略号又作删节号，表示节略原文、语句未完或语气的不连续。删节号呈现上占两个汉字空间、包含六个省略点且在水平和垂直方向均位于字面正中，通常使用两个连续的U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS […]来实现。

刪節號又作省略號，表示節略原文、語句未完或語氣的不連續。刪節號呈現上佔兩個漢字空間、包含六個居中的刪節點且在水平和垂直方向均位於字面正中，通常使用兩個連續的U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS […]來實現。

Note

Chapter 6.2 of v14 of the Unicode Standard suggests using U+22EF MIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS [⋯] for ellipses.

在Unicode标准第14版的6.2章中，也推荐使用U+22EF MIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS [⋯]作为省略号。

在Unicode標準第14版的6.2章中，亦推薦使用U+22EF MIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS [⋯]作為刪節號。

This code point, with appropriate rotation and replacement mechanism, will be centered within its character frame regardless of whether it is in vertical or horizontal writing mode, which is more in line with the Chinese typesetting requirements.

此符号配合适当的转向与取代机制，在显示上无论直横排，省略点皆居中，更符合排版需求。

此符號配合適當的轉向與取代機制，在顯示上無論直橫排，刪節點皆居中，更符合排版需求。
Emphasis Dots.

着重号

着重號

Emphasis dots are symbols placed above or beneath characters to emphasize the text, strengthen the tone, or avoid ambiguity. For horizontal writing mode, emphasis dots are placed under the characters, whereas in vertical writing mode, they are usually placed to the right side of the characters. Both U+25CF BLACK CIRCLE [●] or U+2022 BULLET [•] can work as emphasis dots.

着重号用于表示相应文本的强调、着重语气或避免歧义。其形态为标注于文字底端或顶端（横排多在下方〔底端〕、直排多在右侧〔顶端〕）的圆形中黑点，可以为U+25CF BLACK CIRCLE [●]或U+2022 BULLET [•]。

Connector Marks.

连接号

連接號

Connector marks are used to indicate the beginning and end of time or space, to indicate quantity, to express the name of a chemical compound, to label a table or illustration, to connect a house number in an address, for a phone number, to separate digits which indicate the year, month and date, or to connect compound nouns and for the romanization, as well as the foreign text in the content.

连接号用于连结时空起讫或数量多寡，还可以用于化合物的名称或表格、插图的标号，门牌号码、电话号码等号码的连接，阿拉伯数字表示日期时年月日的区隔，复合名词中的连接，以及罗马拼音、外来语内部的分合等。

連接號用於連結時空起訖或數量多寡，還可以用於化合物的名稱或表格、插圖的標號，門牌號碼、電話號碼等號碼的連接，阿拉伯數字表示日期時年月日的區隔，複合名詞中的連接，以及羅馬拼音、外來語內部的分合等。

According to the Punctuation Guidance (revised edition) issued by the Ministry of Education in Taiwan, connector symbols include U+2013 EN DASH [–] and U+FF5E FULLWIDTH TILDE [～] or U+007E TILDE [~].

根据台湾教育部的《重订标点符号手册》，连接号分为甲式及乙式，甲式为U+2013 EN DASH [–]、乙式为U+FF5E FULLWIDTH TILDE [～]或U+007E TILDE [~]。

根據台灣教育部的《重訂標點符號手冊》，連接號分為甲式及乙式，甲式為U+2013 EN DASH [–]、乙式為U+FF5E FULLWIDTH TILDE [～]或U+007E TILDE [~]。

According to the General Rules for Punctuation (GB/T 15834—2011), there are three types of connector marks, namely, the short connector mark [–], the long connector mark [—], and tilde [~].

根据中国大陆的《标点符号用法》（GB/T 15834—2011），连接号的形式有短横线[–]、一字线[—]和浪纹线[～]三种。

根據中國大陸的《标点符号用法》（GB/T 15834—2011），連接號的形式有短橫線[–]、一字線[—]和浪紋線[～]三種。

Note

The General Rules for Punctuation (GB/T 15834—2011) does not state the corresponding Unicode code point for the three types of connector marks. However, we can make the deduction that the long connector mark [—] is U+2014 EM DASH [—] and the tilde [~] is U+FF5E FULLWIDTH TILDE [～]. Since the short connector mark should take half the width of the long connector mark, it should be U+2013 EN DASH [–]. The actual length of these connector marks may depend on the writing system as well as the typeface.

《标点符号用法》（GB/T 15834—2011）中没有指定这三个符号的码位，但是基本上可以推断一字线是U+2014 EM DASH [—]，浪纹线是U+FF5E FULLWIDTH TILDE [～]。但是对于“短横线”，该标准5.1.6节规定“短横线比汉字『一』略短，占半个字位置”，因此可以是 U+2013 EN DASH [–]。这些连接号的实际长短根据所用处理系统和使用字体会有区别。

《標點符號用法》（GB/T 15834—2011）中沒有指定這三個符號的碼位，但是基本上可以推斷一字線是U+2014 EM DASH [—]，浪紋線是U+FF5E FULLWIDTH TILDE [～]。但是對於「短橫線」，該標準5.1.6節規定「橫短線比漢字『一』略短，佔半個字位置」，因此可以是U+2013 EN DASH [–]。這些連接號的實際長短根據所用處理系統和使用字體會有區別。
Interpuncts.

间隔号

間隔號

Interpuncts U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT [·], also known as interpoints, middots or centered dots, are punctuation marks consisting of a vertically-centered dot, and are used to mark the boundaries between certain related components, such as mark divisions in transliterated foreign words or the month and day of a date. They are also used with book title marks to separate chapters, articles, and volumes in publications.

间隔号为U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT [·]。用于标示某些相关联成分之间的分界，如双书名号（书名号乙式）中分隔篇、章、卷，分隔外国人名中文译名、少数民族音译名，分隔日期的月和日等。

間隔號為U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT [·]。用於標示某些相關聯成分之間的分界，如書名號乙式（雙書名號）中分隔篇、章、卷，分隔外國人名中文譯名、少數民族音譯名，分隔日期的月和日等。

Interpuncts apply to Chinese only. When a translated foreign name contains a Latin character, a western period should be used rather than a interpunct. For example, 比尔·盖茨 but B. 盖茨.

间隔号为中文标点，当外语姓名包含西文首字母缩写作为单节时，原则上西文字母后面应该使用西文句点，如“比尔·盖茨”、“B. 盖茨”。

間隔號為中文標點，當外語姓名包含西文首字母縮寫作為單節時，原則上西文字母後面應該使用西文句點，如「比爾·蓋茨」、「B. 蓋茨」。

The width of interpuncts varies in different regions. In principle, in Hong Kong and Taiwan, interpuncts should have the same dimensions as a Hanzi in both vertical writing mode and horizontal writing mode. In Mainland China, interpuncts take up half the space of a Hanzi.

间隔号在各个地区排版时宽度有所不同，原则上港台地区无论直排或横排，都占用一个汉字的大小，在中国大陆则占用半个汉字的大小。

間隔號在各個地區排版時寬度有所不同，原則上港台地區無論直排或橫排，都占用一個漢字的大小，在中國大陸則占用半個漢字的大小。

Note

Due to the fact that Big5 code does not give a detailed definition of interpuncts, sometimes U+FF0E FULLWIDTH FULL STOP [．], U+2027 HYPHENATION POINT [‧] or U+2022 BULLET [•] are used. It is recommended to use U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT [·] altogether. U+30FB KATAKANA MIDDLE DOT [・] is from JIS code, and is therefore not recommended.

过去因大五码未有详细的语意定义，所以有时混用U+FF0E FULLWIDTH FULL STOP [．]、U+2027 HYPHENATION POINT [‧]、U+2022 BULLET [•]等字符作为间隔号的例子，建议使用U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT [·]。而U+30FB KATAKANA MIDDLE DOT [・]来自日文JIS编码，并非中文编码，不建议使用。

過去因大五碼未有詳細的語意定義，所以時有混用U+FF0E FULLWIDTH FULL STOP [．]、U+2027 HYPHENATION POINT [‧]、U+2022 BULLET [•]等字元作為間隔號的例子，建議使用U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT [·]。而U+30FB KATAKANA MIDDLE DOT [・]來自日文JIS編碼，並非中文編碼，不建議使用。

書名號用於標示書名、篇名、歌曲名、影劇名、文件名、字畫名等各種作品名稱。

According to the General Rules for Punctuation (GB/T 15834—2011) in Mainland China, the names of books as well as chapters should be quoted using double angle brackets [《》]. When there is a need to indicate the name of another book within the double angle brackets [《》], the ordinary angle brackets [〈〉] should be used.

根据中国大陆的《标点符号用法》（GB/T 15834—2011），无论书名、篇章名都应该使用双书名号[《》]，只有在书名号中还需要书名号时，里面一层用单书名号，外面一层用双书名号。

根據中國大陸的《标点符号用法》（GB/T 15834—2011），無論書名、篇章名都應該使用雙書名號[《》]，只有在書名號中還需要書名號時，裏面一層用單書名號，外面一層用雙書名號。

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）。

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.

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 Han 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。

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）。

Science and technology literature prefer U+FF0E FULLWIDTH FULL STOP [．] to U+3002 IDEOGRAPHIC FULL STOP [。] so as to make a clear distinction from the letter [o] or digit [0].

科技文献中的“句号”多使用U+FF0E FULLWIDTH FULL STOP [．]替代U+3002 IDEOGRAPHIC FULL STOP [。]，以避免同拉丁字母“o”或数字“0”混淆。

科技文獻中的「句號」多使用U+FF0E FULLWIDTH FULL STOP [．]替代U+3002 IDEOGRAPHIC FULL STOP [。]，以避免同拉丁字母「o」或數字「0」混淆。

In Traditional Chinese publications such as ancient books, science and technology literature, textbooks, or books that have quotations in Western languages, some pause or stop punctuation marks, including the slight-pause comma, colon and period, are positioned following the marked characters. The same applies for Simplified Chinese as well as Japanese so as to unify punctuation styles for both Chinese and Western languages.

在港台的古籍、科技文献、科学类教科书或常引西文的书籍中，也可见使用于被标注文字末端、字面始端的点号（顿号、逗号、句号），类似简体中文或日文标点符号，以保持中、西文标点体例一致。

Exclamatory question marks are defined in the General Rules for Punctuation (GB/T 15834—2011) as an extended usage of exclamation marks. For questions with a strong exclamatory tone of voice, it is appropriate to add an exclamation mark after the question mark (?!). However, it is common to see a question mark added after an exclamation mark (!?) in numerous publications as well. In addition, GB rules indicate that it is acceptable to chain up to 3 exclamation marks or question marks in succession (!!!, ???) for exclamatory statements or interrogative sentences which require greater emphasis.

叹问号于中国大陆《标点符号用法》（GB/T 15834—2011）中作为叹号的延伸用法，当语气同时具备强烈的疑问与感叹时，可于问号后加上叹号（?!）。然而在许多作品中，也常见在叹号后加上问号（!?）的用法。此外，在同标准的问号与叹号用法也指明在语气加重时可叠用问号或者叹号，最多可叠用到三个（!!!、???）。

嘆問號於中國大陸《標點符號用法》（GB/T 15834—2011）中作為嘆號的延伸用法，當語氣同時具備強烈的疑問與感嘆時，可於問號後加上嘆號（?!）。然而在許多作品中，也常見在嘆號後加上問號（!?）的用法。此外，在同標準的問號與嘆號用法也指明在語氣加重時可疊用問號或者嘆號，最多可疊用到三個（!!!、???）。

In print publications, GB rules state that when question marks and exclamation marks are chained, they are considered 1 em. Double question marks or double exclamation marks also 1 em. Triple question marks or triple exclamation marks are 2 em. In addition, for vertical writing mode in Taiwan, chained question marks or exclamation marks are upright and take up 1 em.

排版上，《标点符号用法》规定问号与叹号连用时，占一个字位置；两个问号或叹号叠用时，占一个字位置；三个问号或叹号叠用时，占两个字位置。此外，在台湾直排的习惯中，叹问号连用与问号、叹号叠用时，符号多直立，并且占一个字的位置。

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。

示亡号示例 — Figure 10 An example of the usage of symbol of death 示亡号用法的示例。示亡號用法的示例。

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。

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。

Note

In principle, line-breaking rules within a single document should be consistent. However, in the case where three punctuation marks appear together, such as [。』」], prohibition against line break can be ignored to keep a reasonable spacing between characters in each line. This should be considered as a remedial measure and is not recommended generally.

原则上，一份文档内的级别应该统一。但若遇连续三个标点符号，如[。』」]等个别特殊状况局部采用“不处理”以避免字距过松造成体例不良，应该视为救济措施的个例，不作为推荐。

原則上，一份文檔內的級別應該統一。但若遇連續三個標點符號，如[。』」]等個別特殊狀況局部採用「不處理」以避免字距過松造成體例不良，應該視為救濟措施的個例，不作為推薦。

Note

Prohibition rules for line start and line end are styling issues. The user agent can choose or customize the rules to become more or less restrictive when needed.

行首行尾禁则规定属于排版风格，用户代理实现时可以根据自身实际情况，选择或者自定义适合自己的、更宽松或者严格的禁则。

行首行尾禁則規定屬於排版風格，用戶代理實現時可以根據自身實際情況，選擇或者自定義適合自己的、更寬松或者嚴格的禁則。

The following punctuation marks should be considered as one unit and take 2 em. They should not be separated into two lines. In cases where multiples of such punctuation marks appear together, it is allowed to separate them into two lines as described in 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. If they were forced to remain on one line, it might cause too much space between the characters in the previous line and decrease the aesthetics of the entire composition.

以下标点符号占用两个汉字的空间，在行间应为一体，视作一个字符存在，不能为了适配分行而拆成两行。

以下標點符號佔用二個漢字的空間，在行間應為一體，視作一個字元存在，不得以適配分行之由拆至二行。

Two-em dash.

乙式括号与破折号

乙式括號與破折號

Two-em dashes [——] can be created using U+2E3A TWO-EM DASH [⸺] or two adjacent U+2014 EM DASH [—] characters. Both alternatives should take 2 em.

乙式括号与破折号是占两个汉字空间的U+2E3A TWO-EM DASH [⸺] 或连续使用两个U+2014 EM DASH [—]。

乙式括號與破折號為佔二個漢字空間的U+2E3A TWO-EM DASH [⸺] 或連續使用兩個U+2014 EM DASH [—]。
Ellipsis.

省略号

刪節號

When two U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS […] or U+22EF MIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS [⋯] characters are used together for ellipsis, they take up the space of two Hanzi characters, are horizontally and vertically centered within their character frames, and consist of six dots.

省略号使用连续两个U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS […]或U+22EF MIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS [⋯]，占两个汉字空间、包含六个居中省略点[……]。

刪節號使用連續兩個U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS […]或U+22EF MIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS [⋯]，佔二個漢字空間、包含居中六個刪節點[……]。

According to section 5.1.5 of the General Rules for Punctuation (GB/T 15834—2011), when two ellipses are used together, they should be four characters wide and occupy an independent line.

《标点符号用法》（GB/T 15834—2011）5.1.5节还规定，两个省略号／删节号连用时，占四个汉字位置并须单独占一行。

《標點符號用法》（GB/T 15834—2011）5.1.5節還規定，兩個刪節號／省略號連用時，佔四個漢字位置並須單獨佔一行。

Punctuation marks between characters (except for two-em dash and horizontal ellipsis) usually occupy 1 em, 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。

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。

Figure 11 Adjustment space of punctuation marks. 标点符号的调整空间。標點符號的調整空間。

Unadjustable punctuations include: GB-style short connector marks, interpuncts, and solidi, because these punctuation points always take 1/2 em; 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 1 em.

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。

Regardless of the style of the text as a whole, adjustments should be made in principle when brackets appear next to other punctuations, or when brackets appear repeatedly (such as opening & opening, closing & closing, or closing & opening) to make the text more compact and easy to read.

无论文本整体采用何种风格，当夹注符号与其他符号连续排列时，或者夹注符号重复出现（如开始+开始，结束+结束，或者结束+开始）时，都应该进行原则上的调整，以使文字体裁更加紧凑、易读。

無論文本整體採用何種風格，當夾注符號與其他符號連續排列時，或者夾注符號重復出現（如開始+開始，結束+結束，或者結束+開始）時，都應該進行原則上的調整，以使文字體裁更加緊湊、易讀。

The adjustment in principle should be: if any two adjacent punctuation marks take 2 em, they should be reduced to 1.5 em. Based on this principle, the typography style is allowed to be further adjusted so that the two punctuation marks take only 1 em.

原则上的调整度应为：如果任意两个相邻标点符号占用2个字宽，应当缩减成1.5个字宽。在此原则上，允许排版风格进一步调整让两个符号只占1个字宽。

原則上的調整度應為：如果任意兩個相鄰標點符號占用2個字寬，應當縮減成1.5個字寬。在此原則上，允許排版風格進一步調整讓兩個符號只占1個字寬。

In principle, the compression should let the opening and closing bracket be close to the isolated segment of text.

挤压方向判定原则上应该让开始、结束夹注符号应紧靠被夹注的内容。

擠壓方向判定原則上應該讓開始、結束夾注符號應緊靠被夾注的內容。

When a punctuation mark appears at line start or line end, the following rules for space adjustment will make the composition tighter and more readable.

当标点符号出现在行首或行尾时，以下的空隙调整规则使文字体裁更加紧凑、易读。

標點符號出現在一行之首或之末時，以下的空隙調整規則得以使文字體裁更加緊湊、易讀。

For the case of first-line indent, if an opening bracket is set at the beginning of the first line of the paragraph, half a character space can be trimmed before the bracket.

在使用段首缩进格式的排版中，若首行行首出现开始夹注符号，可以缩减该符号始侧二分之一个汉字大小的空白。

使用段首縮進格式的排版中，若首行行首出現開始夾注符號，可以縮減該符號始側二分之一個漢字大小的空白。
When an opening bracket appears at the beginning of a line, half a character space can be trimmed before the bracket.

当行首出现开始夹注符号，可以缩减该符号始侧二分之一个汉字大小的空白。

當行首出現開始夾注符號，可以縮減該符號始側二分之一個漢字大小的空白。
According to section 5.1.10 of the General Rules for Punctuation (GB/T 15834—2011), when a full-width punctuation character appears at the end of a line, it SHALL be trimmed to half-width.

依照中国大陆国标GB/T 15834—2011《标点符号用法》第5.1.10条的规定，原本占一个字宽的标点出现在行尾时，应缩减该符号末侧二分之一个汉字大小的空白。

依照中國大陸國標GB/T 15834—2011《標點符號用法》第5.1.10條的規定，原本佔一個字寬的標點出現在行尾時，應縮減該符號末側二分之一個漢字大小的空白。

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.

Most punctuation marks in modern Chinese typesetting are interspersed between the text in a line, but the Proper Noun Mark (underline), the Book Title Mark (only for the type A wavy low line) and the Emphasis Dot need to be positioned between lines. These punctuation marks are known as “interlinear marks”. Of which, the Proper Noun Mark and the Book Title mark are known as interlinear lines.

现代中文排版的标点符号，大部分都随文字穿插在行内，但专名号（下划线）、书名号（仅指甲式的波浪线)、着重号要摆放在行与行之间，这些标点通称为「行间标点」。其中专名号（下划线）、书名号（仅指甲式的波浪线）合称为「行间线」。

現代中文排版的標點符號，大部分都隨文字穿插在行內，但專名號（下劃線）、書名號（僅指甲式的波浪線)、著重號要擺放在行與行之間，這些標點通稱為「行間標點」。其中專名號（下劃線）、書名號（僅指甲式的波浪線）合稱為「行間線」。

Jùdòu (句读, old-style punctuation) for ancient Chinese texts were all interlinear marks. Although the typesetting of ancient Chinese texts is beyond the scope of this document, the guidance provided in this section can still serve as a reference for the basic principles of interlinear marks.

传统中文古籍中的「句读」也都是「行间标点」。传统中文古籍排版虽然已经超出了本文档的范围，但是行间标点的基本原则可参照本节内容。

傳統中文古籍中的「句讀」也都是「行間標點」。傳統中文古籍排版雖然已經超出了本文檔的範圍，但是行間標點的基本原則可參照本節內容。

In vertical typesetting, the interlinear lines are positioned to the left of the text, while the Emphasis Dot is positioned to the right of the text. The situation where both these marks are applied at the same time is known as double-sided setting. In horizontal typesetting, both the interlinear lines and Emphasis Dot are positioned to the bottom of the text. This situation is known as a single-side setting. In principle, text typeset horizontally will not use double-sided setting.

直排时，行间线标注于文字左侧，着重号标注于文字右侧。像这样，文字两侧均加排行间标点的排版方式叫「双面装」。横排时，行间线、着重号均标注于文字下方。像这样，文字单侧加排行间标点的排版方式叫「单面装」。原则上，横排书不使用双面装。

直排時，行間線標註於文字左側，著重號標註於文字右側。像這樣，文字兩側均加排行間標點的排版方式叫「雙面裝」。橫排時，行間線、著重號均標註於文字下方。像這樣，文字單側加排行間標點的排版方式叫「單面裝」。原則上，橫排書不使用雙面裝。

General Guidance 通则通則

Under normal circumstances, a line of text will use the same font size. For these instances, single-sided and double-sided setting will generally behave as follows:

通常情况下，一行内文字使用同样的字号，此时，单、双面装的一般通则如下：

通常情況下，一行內文字使用同樣的字號，此時，單、雙面裝的一般通則如下：

Regardless of single-sided or double-sided setting, as well as for horizontal or vertical typesetting, the line gap must always be consistent. This is in accordance to what was stated in section 2.3.5.4. During the initial typesetting design, the positioning of the interlinear marks must be taken into account such that sufficient space is allocated for the line gap. Forcing extra spacing in a single line containing interlinear marks must be avoided as much as possible.

无论单面装、双面装，也无论横排、直排，原则上行距应保持一致。这一点与 2.3.5.4 阐述内容一致。在最初设计基本版式时就必须提前考虑好行间标点的情况，并设置好足够大的行距。应尽量避免为了行间标点而强行局部撑大单行行距的做法。

無論單面裝、雙面裝，也無論橫排、直排，原則上行距應保持一致。這一點與 2.3.5.4 闡述內容一致。在最初設計基本版式時就必須提前考慮好行間標點的情況，並設置好足夠大的行距。應盡量避免為了行間標點而強行局部撐大單行行距的做法。

To ensure appropriate positioning of interlinear marks, the line gap for single-sided setting must not be smaller than half of the font size, while the line gap for double-sided setting must not be smaller than 5/8 (=1/2+1/8) of the font size.

为保证行间标点的摆放，单面装的行距不应小于当前字号的一半、双面装的的行距不应小于当前字号的 5/8 （=1/2+1/8）

為保證行間標點的擺放，單面裝的行距不應小於當前字號的一半、雙面裝的的行距不應小於當前字號的 5/8 （=1/2+1/8）

Emphasis Dots shall be center-aligned with its corresponding character; interlinear lines must be correspond with the length and quantity of content they are marking out. As such, if there are multiple instances which need to be marked out with interlinear lines, multiple interlinear lines need to be used. Interlinear lines cannot be arbitrarily broken up. And a single interlinear line cannot be composed out of multiple fragments. For example, if there are two adjacent Proper Nouns, even if the text being marked out is set solid, both Proper Nouns must be clearly marked with two Proper Noun Marks that are distinguishable from one another. In this instance, a single Proper Noun Mark must not be used, because this would cause the two Proper Nouns to be misunderstood as a single Proper Noun.

着重号应与所指示的字符居中对齐；行间线应与所标注内容的长短、数量均要保持一致，即，有几个标注项目就用几条线段，不能任意从中断开，也不能用多条线段拼接组合。比如，相邻的两个专名，即使所标注的正文汉字是密排，两个专名要用两条专名线，中间的断开要能够辨认；此时不能用一条专名线连起来标注，否则连续的两个专名会被误认为是一个专名。

著重號應與所指示的字符居中對齊；行間線應與所標註內容的長短、數量均要保持一致，即，有幾個標註項目就用幾條線段，不能任意從中斷開，也不能用多條線段拼接組合。比如，相鄰的兩個專名，即使所標註的正文漢字是密排，兩個專名要用兩條專名線，中間的斷開要能夠辨認；此時不能用一條專名線連起來標註，否則連續的兩個專名會被誤認為是一個專名。

Interlinear marks must be as close to the marked text as possible.
The thickness and size of the interlinear lines and emphasis dots is determined by the font design and typesetting rendering engine, but even though there is no absolute limitation, the sizing of these interlinear marks must be harmonious with the font size and letter-spacing of the marked text.

行间标点应尽量紧贴所标注汉字一侧。
行间线、着重号的大小或粗度取决于字体和排版引擎的设计，虽然没有绝对限制，但显然尺寸上应与所标汉字字号、字距相匹配。

行間標點應盡量緊貼所標註漢字一側。
行間線、著重號的大小或粗度取決於字體和排版引擎的設計，雖然沒有絕對限制，但顯然尺寸上應與所標漢字字號、字距相匹配。
For Loose Setting or Situations When Letter-Spacing Needs To Be Increased 在疏排或行内调整需要拉开字距的情况在疏排或行內調整需要拉開字距的情況

If the letter-spacing of the marked text needs to be increased, the length of the interlinear line must be increased to match without being broken

如果被标注字的字距被拉开，行间线应相应延长且不能断开

如果被標註字的字距被拉開，行間線應相應延長且不能斷開

In accordance to what was explained in the first general guidance, even after the letter-spacing is increased, Emphasis Dots must continue to be center-aligned with the text they are marking

根据上述通则 1. 拉开字距后，着重号依旧应与字符居中对齐而不能错位。

根據上述通則 1. 拉開字距後，著重號依舊應與字符居中對齊而不能錯位。
Special Situation for Single-Side Setting 横排单面装特殊情况橫排單面裝特殊情況

By right, double-sided setting must not occur in horizontal writing mode. In cases where both a Proper Noun Mark or Book Title Mark is used together with Emphasis Dots, the guiding principle is "line first, followed by dot", such that the underline or wavy line is closer to the text, while the dot comes below.

原则上，横排时不使用双面装。横排时，专名号（下划线）或书名号（仅指甲式的波浪线）如果遇到和着重号同时出现时，应以“先线后点”原则，让行间线紧贴汉字，再在其下加着重号。

原則上，橫排時不使用雙面裝。橫排時，專名號（下劃線）或書名號（僅指甲式的波浪線）如果遇到和著重號同時出現時，應以“先線後點”原則，讓行間線緊貼漢字，再在其下加著重號。

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。

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」。
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。
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。
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。
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。

Note

Western numerals, sometimes called arabic, or arabic-indic numerals, are referred to as European numerals in the context of this document, unless notes indicate otherwise.

若无特别提示，本文使用的“阿拉伯数字”皆指西方语言或欧洲形式的印度-阿拉伯数字。

若無特別提示，本文使用之「阿拉伯數字」皆指西方語言或歐洲形式的印度－阿拉伯數字。

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。

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 1/4 em, 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。

Note

Another approach is to use a Western word space (U+0020 SPACE), in which case the width depends on the font in use.

或可使用西文词间空格（U+0020 SPACE [ ]，其宽度随不同字体有所变化）。

或可使用西文詞間空格（U+0020 SPACE [ ]，其寬度隨不同字體有所變化）。

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：

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。

Figure 12 Example of Latin letters in normal orientation. 没有转向的西文字母示例沒有轉向的西文字母示例
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 1/4 em, 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。

Figure 13 Example of Latin letters rotated 90 degrees clockwise. 顺时针旋转90°的西文字母示例順時針旋轉90°的西文字母示例
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。

Note

Han numerals are usually used in vertical writing mode, however, in recent years it is becoming more common to see fullwidth European numerals and proportional numerals set as horizontal-in-vertical.

直排时多使用汉字数字，然而近年使用西文数字的情况渐有增长，纵中横排亦颇为常见。

直排時多使用漢字數字，然而近年使用西文數字的情況漸有增長，縱中橫排亦頗為常見。

Note

Quotation marks are usually not used in vertical writing mode (corner brackets are used instead). However, when quoting Western text, quotation marks are sometimes used to match Western style. In this case, the orientation of the quotation marks must follow the quoted Western text (rotated 90° clockwise).

直排时通常不使用弯引号，但在直排中引用西文内容时，可采用与西文样式更匹配的弯引号。该情况下，弯引号的书写方向需跟随被引用的西文内容转向。

直排時通常不使用彎引號，但在直排中引用西文內容時，可採用與西文樣式更匹配的彎引號。該情況下，彎引號的書寫方向需跟隨被引用的西文內容轉向。

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：

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。
Tracking or spacing between a Han character and a Western letter or numeral is up to 1/4 em.

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。
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：

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。
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。

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：

Instead of 1/4-em spacing between Han and Western letters, it is possible to use flexible spacing of up to 1/2 em. 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。
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。

Note

When using grid alignment, it is recommended to deal with line end punctuation marks by hanging the first of them outside the type area as mentioned in section 3.1.7 Hanging Punctuation at Line End 行尾点号悬挂行尾點號懸掛. In situations that involve consecutive punctuation marks, the second and following punctuation marks are allowed to appear at the line start.

纵横对齐时，可配合3.1.7 Hanging Punctuation at Line End 行尾点号悬挂行尾點號懸掛节的行尾点号悬挂方式处理标点禁则，若遇两个以上连续标点时，第二个及其后之标点可令其出现于行首。

縱橫對齊時，可配合3.1.7 Hanging Punctuation at Line End 行尾点号悬挂行尾點號懸掛節的行尾點號懸掛方式處理標點禁則，若遇兩個以上連續標點時，第二個及其後之標點可令其出現於行首。

Note

Grid alignment is adopted more often in Traditional Chinese typesetting, whereas use in Simplified Chinese is rare.

纵横对齐多使用于繁体中文排版，简体中文较为少见。

縱橫對齊多使用於繁體中文排版，簡體中文較為少見。

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。

In Chinese, interlinear annotation is most commonly used to indicate the pronunciation of Han characters. Presenting the pronunciation alongside the characters is a great help to beginners, especially to children who are native speakers, or to foreigners intending to study Chinese. Therefore, it is rare to annotate isolated Han characters. Instead, phonetic annotations tend to cover the full text. Also, it is not regular practice in Chinese layout to use interlinear annotation for pronunciation outside these educational contexts, even for the pronunciation of rarely used characters, although sometimes pronunciation is provided inline, possibly within brackets.

行间注最常见的用途是为汉字标注读音。汉字标音针对的是汉语初学者，包括母语为汉语的幼儿以及学习汉语的外国人士，因此对个别字标音的情况较少，多为全文标音。常规排版中没有行间注标音的习惯，对生僻字也几乎从不标音，即便标音也只是用行内括号标注。

行間注最常見的用途係為漢字標注讀音。漢字標音針對的是漢語初學者，包括母語為漢語的幼兒以及學習漢語的外國人士，因此對個別字標音的情況較少，多為全文標音。常規排版中沒有行間注標音的習慣，對生僻字也幾乎從不標音，即便標音也只是用行內括號標注。

There are two major annotation systems for indicating Chinese pronunciation: Zhuyin and Romanization.

中文的标音方案有注音符号与罗马拼音两大类：

中文的標音方案有注音符號與羅馬拼音兩大類：

Zhuyin.

注音符号

注音符號

Mandarin Phonetic Symbols (國語注音符號) or Taiwanese Dialect Phonetic Symbols (台灣方音符號), hereinafter referred to as ‘Zhuyin’, are systems for phonetic annotation mainly used in Taiwan, although other areas may also include Zhuyin in certain dictionaries or textbooks. In most cases, Zhuyin appears on the right side of its corresponding base text. Exceptions are very rare.

国语注音符号及台湾方音符号（以下统称注音或注音符号）标音系统多用于台湾，其他地区仅见于特定的辞典或教科书中。绝大多数的情况下，注音符号标注于相应汉字（基文）的右侧，例外情况非常少见。

國語注音符號及台灣方音符號（以下統稱注音或注音符號）標音系統多用於台灣，其他地區僅見於特定的辭典或教科書中。絕大多數的情況下，注音符號標注於相應漢字（基文）的右側，例外情況非常少見。

Romanization.

罗马拼音

羅馬拼音

Hanyu Pinyin (汉语拼音), now the official standard in Mainland China, uses the Latin alphabet to transcribe the Modern Standard Chinese (Mandarin) pronunciations of Han characters. The most common use case in Mainland China is to indicate the pronunciation for all characters of the full text with Hanyu Pinyin. In Taiwan and areas that use Chinese dialects in China, the arrangement of the Taiwanese Romanization System for Minnan (台灣閩南語羅馬字), or romanization systems of other Chinese dialects are similar to those of Hanyu Pinyin.

使用拉丁字母的汉语拼音是中国大陆推行的现代标准汉语（普通话）标音与拉丁转写方案，汉语拼音的全文标音也是中国大陆现代最常见的行间注用例。在中国大陆与台湾，台湾闽南语罗马字拼音等各种汉语方言的拉丁字母标音方案也有与汉语拼音情况类似的行间注用例。

使用拉丁字母的漢語拼音是中國大陸推行的現代標準漢語（普通話）標音與拉丁轉寫方案，漢語拼音的全文標音也是中國大陸現代最常見的行間注用例。在台灣與中國大陸漢語方言使用地區，台灣閩南語羅馬字拼音等各種漢語方言的拉丁字母標音方案也有與漢語拼音情況類似的行間注用例。

Due to the characteristics of the Latin alphabet, such annotations appear in horizontal writing mode only. Texts for children who are native speakers usually provide reading assistance for each individual character, while texts for those who are learning Chinese as a second language mainly indicate pronunciation for whole words, but occasionally, both of them are set almost the same. There is space between the base text when whole words are annotated, and the interlinear annotation characters will have unique requirements such as sentence case, or punctuation marks corresponding to base characters. The composition of early publications using pinyin was quite variable and not consistent. In general, both character-based and word-based annotations were quite common. No further description of the early pinyin will be found in this document.

因拉丁字母的特质，此类标音文本仅横排。针对幼儿母语者的文本以单字作为基文进行标音。针对双语学习者的文本除偶有与前者一致的格式外，大多分词连写，以词作为基文进行标音，基文之间如西文书写一般用空格隔开，并且注文有句首大写、专名首字母大写等格式以及与正文对应的标点符号，自成一体。汉语拼音早期印刷品的格式较为多变，一致性不强。大体上，单字标音与分词连写标音都常见，不作详细述。

Bilingual Annotations.

中外文对照

中外文對照

Bilingual annotations aim to provide a Chinese translation of text in foreign languages or acronyms, or to offer the original text for words that have been translated into Chinese. This is mainly used for proper nouns, titles or those terms whose concepts are difficult to convey after translation. It is commonly found in translated works, mainly in light novels.

为外来语、首字母缩略词标注其中译，或对翻译名词标注其原文，多见于专有名词、作品名及译后概念较难传达的词汇。常见于译作，尤以轻小说为主。

Interlinear Comments.

行间批语

行間批語

Interlinear comments are ways to annotate the meaning of text fragments or a single word, and are so named for their interlinear positioning. They usually lie in the interlinear space and co-exist with the body text. Compared to other annotation methods, i.e. headnotes or footnotes, interlinear comments are more compact and stick better to the body. These kinds of comments are often found in ancient books, such as Rouge Inkstone, an early commentary of the novel Dream of the Red Chamber.

行间批语是为一段文本片段或单个词汇标注解释的排版方式，因共存于正文文本，显示于其行间而得名。行间批语比眉批、脚注等注释方法更具紧凑、依附性，多见于如《红楼梦》早期抄本的脂砚斋批语等古籍。

行間批語是為一段文本片段或單個詞彙標注解釋的排版方式，因共存於正文文本，顯示於其行間而得名。行間批語較眉批、腳注等注釋方法更具緊湊、依附性，多見於如《紅樓夢》早期抄本的脂硯齋批語等古籍。

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。

Figure 17 An example of positioning for both Romanization and Zhuyin 拼注音共同标注排版示例。拼注音共同標注排版示例。

According to the Handbook of Mandarin Phonetic Symbols (國語注音符號手冊) released by the Ministry of Education in Taiwan, there are two standard ways of positioning Zhuyin: above the corresponding Han character (horizontal Zhuyin), or on the right side of the corresponding Han character (vertical Zhuyin). The use cases for putting Zhuyin above the base characters are rarely found in today's textbooks or other publications, and it is rarely used by the public at large. Therefore, it's always better practice to place Zhuyin annotations on the right side of their corresponding Han character, whether in horizontal or vertical writing mode.

根据台湾教育部制订的《国语注音符号手册》，将注音符号标注在汉字上方（横式注音）及右方（直式注音）的二种排版格式皆属官方标准，但在现今的教科书或其他印刷品中，将注音标注在汉字上方的格式非常罕见，一般大众也不易接受，因此，无论在直排或横排中，将注音符号标注在汉字右方都是较佳的作法。

根據台灣教育部制訂的《國語注音符號手冊》，將注音符號標注於漢字上方（橫式注音）及右方（直式注音）的二種排版格式皆屬官方標準，但在現今的教科書或其他印刷品中，將注音標注於漢字上方的格式非常罕見，一般大眾也不易接受，因此，無論在直排或橫排中，將注音符號標注在漢字右方都是較佳的作法。

Figure 18 The ratios of base characters and their Zhuyin annotations. 注音符号行间注下，基字与注文的比例。注音符號行間注下，基字與注文的比例。

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。
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。
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。

Note

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。
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。

Mandarin non-neutral tones and dialectal non-checked tones, are placed outside the upper right corner of the last phonetic symbol. In vertical Zhuyin, half the space taken by a tone mark will be above the top of the adjacent phonetic character; in horizontal Zhuyin, half the space taken by a tone mark will appear to the right of the phonetic character. As seen in Figure 19.

平上去等调号标注在字音最后一个符号右上方。直式注音向上回返半个符号空间；横式注音向右突出半个符号空间。如Figure 19所示。

平上去等調號標注於字音最後一個符號右上方。直式注音向上回返半個符號空間；橫式注音向右突出半個符號空間。如Figure 19所示。

Note

At the beginning of the formulation of Zhuyin phonetic symbol ㄧ (U+3127 BOPOMOFO LETTER I), the typesetting rule was that one horizontal line should be used in vertical writing mode, and one vertical line should be used in horizontal writing mode. This usage appears in the documents of the Republican Era, as well as in the Xinhua Dictionary in Mainland China. However, when the Zhuyin phonetic symbols are used in the Chinese language teaching in Taiwan, regardless of whether it is in vertical or horizontal writing mode, a horizontal line should be used.

注音符号ㄧ（U+3127 BOPOMOFO LETTER I）于制定初期，排版规定直排时为一横、横排时为一竖。此用法出现在民国时期的文献，以及中国大陆的新华字典上。但注音符号系统应用于台湾的国语文教学，无论直横排列，都以横画为原则。

注音符號ㄧ（U+3127 BOPOMOFO LETTER I）於制定初期，排版規定直排時為一橫、橫排時為一豎。此用法出現在民國時期的文獻，以及中國大陸的新華字典上。但注音符號系統應用於台灣的國語文教學，無論直橫排列，都以橫畫為原則。

Therefore, the glyph in the Unicode Code Chart is a horizontal line. In terms of font technologies, the OpenType font feature 'hist', which stands for the historical form, can be used to replace the vertical line for presenting historical documents or special needs.

因此在Unicode中修改此码位的范例字型为横画。但在字型技术处理上，可使用OpenType字型功能hist，即历史形式来取代显示直画，供呈现历史文献或特殊需求。

Like the line prohibition rules for punctuation, vertical Zhuyin annotations should stick to their base characters in horizontal writing mode. They must not appear in the line head, and must be placed on the right side of their corresponding Han character.

如同标点禁则，直式注音在横排文本中应注意其紧随汉字的原则，注音标音不得单独出现在行首，而需永远紧随其标注的汉字右侧。

如同標點禁則，直式注音在橫排文本中應注意其緊隨漢字的原則，注音標音不得單獨出現在行首，而需永遠緊隨其標注的漢字右側。

Romanization is only available in horizontal writing mode. These phonetic annotations are usually placed on top of the base text. Regardless of the length of the base text and the phonetic annotations, the annotations should set solid and center-aligned with the basic text.

仅横排。注文通常置于基文上方。不论两者宽窄关系如何，注文应密排，并与基文居中对齐。

僅橫排。注文通常置於基文上方。不論二者寬窄關系如何，注文應密排，並與基文居中對齊。
In special cases where Romanization is needed in vertical writing mode, the annotations are usually set to the right side of their corresponding base text, but it is difficult to read anyway.

被迫用于直排文本标音时，注文通常置于标音文本右侧，但难以阅读。

被迫於直排文本標音時，注文通常置於標音文本右側，但難以閱讀。
If a Romanized annotation is longer than its base text and is at the line head or end, both the annotation and the base text can be aligned with line head or end.

若注文长于基文且位于行端，两者可向行端对齐。

若注文長於基文且位於行端，二者可向行端對齊。
The space between two adjacent annotations should not be smaller than the size of a normal Western-language space, which is about 1/4 em. Due to the limitation of typesetting technologies, there is usually no space between the rather long phonetic annotations in many printed publications. Luckily, this is not likely to lead to ambiguity because each Han character contains one syllable and most Pinyin fragments are easy to tell apart. However, these annotations can be misleading sometimes. For example, character-based phonetic annotations may result in the false impression that they are word-based. Also, the accidentally concatenated annotations may disrupt word boundaries, which alters the semantic meanings of the words.

相邻注文的间距不应小于西文词间空格的宽度（约1/4字宽）。但受排版技术限制，许多出版物中过长的相邻注文都会紧密相连。因汉字为单音节文字且多数汉语拼音音节都容易辨认界限，并不容易出现标音的歧义，但由于每个汉字的标音都已隔开，意外的相连易造成分词连写的假象，且相连的标音时常横跨词界，打乱语义。

相鄰注文的間距不應小於西文詞間空格的寬度（約1/4字寬）。但受排版技術限制，許多出版物中過長的相鄰注文都會緊密相連。因漢字為單音節文字且多數漢語拼音音節都容易辨認界限，並不容易出現標音的歧義，但由於每個漢字的標音都已隔開，意外的相連易造成分詞連寫的假象，且相連的標音時常橫跨詞界，打亂語義。
Annotations are allowed to extend over the top of the adjacent base text as long as the minimum spacing is ensured.

只要不侵犯最小间距，可允许注文伸展到相邻基字上方。

只要不侵犯最小間距，可允許注文伸展到相鄰基字上方。
As most target readers are beginners to Chinese, the body text is usually in larger sizes and in the Kai typeface.

因针对汉语初学者，正文通常用较大字号的楷体。

因針對漢語初學者，正文通常用較大字號的楷體。
Due to the fact that Latin letters are proportional (width unknown) and that the advance widths in different typefaces deviate greatly from one another, the relationship between the sizes of annotations and their base text is somewhat undetermined. Under the influence of the typesetting of Japanese furigana, however, annotations are usually of half size of the base text.

因拉丁字母为变宽文字，同等字号下使用不同字体时的视觉大小也差异较大，注文与基文的字号关系并无定数。但受振假名的排版习惯影响，注文常使用基文1/2的字号。

因拉丁字母為變寬文字，同等字號下使用不同字體時的視覺大小也差異較大，注文與基文的字號關係並無定數。但受振假名的排版習慣影響，注文常使用基文1/2的字號。
Annotations usually use a sans-serif typeface which is rather thin and plump. It is generally the opinion in publishing and in education that Hanyu Pinyin must use those typefaces in which ‘a’ and ‘g’ are single story and the second tone mark is thick on the lower part and thin on the upper, as in the handwritten style of the stroke. Actually there have never been any national standards specifying the typefaces and the glyphs for Hanyu Pinyin.

注文常用较细、较饱满的无衬线体。出版与教育界普遍认为汉语拼音排版必须使用a与g为单层设计的、二声调号下粗上细的字体。但其实没有任何国家标准对汉语拼音的字体及字母形态做出过具体规定。

注文常用較細、較飽滿的無襯線體。出版與教育界普遍認為漢語拼音排版必須使用a與g為單層設計的、二聲調號下粗上細的字體。但其實未有任何國家標準對漢語拼音的字體及字母形態作出過具體規定。
The General Association of Chinese Culture in Taiwan once wrote to the Ministry of Education in Mainland China about the rules for the glyphs of Hanyu Pinyin, and received the response that the glyphs of the letter ‘a’ and ‘g’ correspond to those of Latin. There is no requirement demanding the handwritten glyphs.

台湾中华文化总会曾去信大陆教育部询问汉语拼音字形相关事宜，大陆教育部响应表示，汉语拼音字母a、g 对应相应的拉丁字母，呈现方式不需拘泥于手写字形。

台灣「中華文化總會」曾去信大陸教育部詢問漢語拼音字形相關事宜，部門回應表示，漢語拼音字母a、g對應相應的拉丁字母，呈現方式不需拘泥於手寫字形。

What follows is a detailed description of the difference between two typical use cases.

下文述两类典型用例之间的差异。

下文描述兩類典型用例之間的差異。

The base text is a single Han character. Only Han characters are annotated: European numerals or punctuation marks are excluded.

基文为单个汉字。仅标注汉字，不标注阿拉伯数字、标点等字符。

基文為單個漢字。僅標注漢字，不標注阿拉伯數字、標點等字符。
The phonetic annotations are always on the top.

注文总是在上方。

注文總是在上方。
As the phonetic annotations are often wider than their base text, the tracking of the body text should be larger, to allow annotations to expand and to avoid irregular adjustments within the base text.

因注文宽度经常超过基文，通常为正文设定较大的字距以供给注文足够的横向伸展空间，避免基文间距频繁被过宽的注文撑大。

因注文寬度經常超過基文，通常為正文設定較大的字距以供給注文足夠的橫向伸展空間，避免基文間距頻繁被過寬的注文撐大。
The phonetic annotations are all in lowercase. Proper nouns are sometimes capitalized.

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1/2字宽的空格隔开，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1/2字寬的空格隔開，基文內部字距通常正常。
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。

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。

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。

In order to maintain the integrity of annotations, when the lengths of annotations and their base text are different it is necessary to adjust the alignment between them to avoid misunderstandings.

为了保证词汇的整体性，在注文总长与其基文的长度不一时，需要调整相互间的对齐关系，以求体例清晰并避免误会。

為了保證詞彙的整體性，在注文總長與其基文的長度不一時，需要調整相互間的對齊關係，以求體例清晰並避免誤會。

When the length of an annotation is shorter than that of its base text, the annotation can be center-aligned (in the case of Western script) or use larger tracking (in the case of Han characters). There are two methods to satisfy the latter, one is to equally distribute the spacing while the other is to align justified.

当注文总长小于其基文的长度时，将注文设置居中（适用西文）或加大注文字距（适用汉字），后者更有“间隔平均分配”及“始末端对齐”两种方式。

當注文總長小於其基文的長度時，將注文設置居中（適用西文）或加大注文字距（適用漢字），後者更有「間隔平均分配」及「始末端對齊」二種方式。
When the length of an annotation is longer than that of its base text, the base text can be center-aligned (in the case of Western script) or use a larger tracking (in the case of Han characters).

当注文总长大于其基文的长度时，将基文设置居中（适用西文）或加大基文字距（适用汉字）。

當注文總長大於其基文的長度時，將基文設置居中（適用西文）或加大基文字距（適用漢字）。

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。

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。

Note

For Chinese publications, a first-line indent usually uses 2-em spaces. Publications like magazines, with multi-column content and less text in each column, might apply 1-em first-line indents as well.

中文出版品上，段首缩排以两个汉字的空间为标准。若遇到杂志等多栏排版的情况，每栏字数较少时，视觉上缩排两字将显突兀，时有改用缩排一字的做法。

中文出版品上，段首縮排以兩個漢字的空間為標準。若遇到雜誌等多欄排版的情況，每欄字數較少時，視覺上縮排兩字將顯突兀，時有改用縮排一字的做法。

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。
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。
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。
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形空白。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。

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。

Note

Generally speaking, the characters in the paragraphs which apply paragraph indent should be the same as the characters in the body content. Sometimes, due to the different typefaces, the size of characters in the paragraphs which apply paragraph indent differ from the characters in the body content. In this case, a certain amount of space might be added before and after the indent paragraph so as to make a clear distinction from other paragraphs. The space added is usually an integer times the height of paragraphs in the body content

一般而言以缩排处理的段落，文字尺寸与内文相同。有时会调整字体，与内文做出差异。或在前后段落间加入段落间距，使该段落与内文段落差异更为明显。加入间距所占空间应为内文行的整数倍。

一般而言以縮排處理的段落，文字尺寸與內文相同。有時會調整字體，與內文做出差異。或／及於前後段落間加入段落間距，使該段落與內文段落差異更為明顯。加入間距所佔空間應為內文行的整數倍。

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：

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。
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。
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。
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。

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：

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。

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：

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。
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。
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。
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。
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。

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：

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；
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；
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；
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：

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。
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。

Note

The word spacing in Western texts described here only pertains to situations which involve compositions of mixed Western and Han characters. The expected behaviour is different from that for purely Western texts, which will take into account the typeface, font size and letter spacing when doing text justification. In general, Western texts will add to word spacing and rarely uses space reduction.

本文涉及到行内的“西文词距”调整，仅是针对“在中文排版内混排的西文”，因此，与纯西文排版的习惯不尽相同。一般的西文排版中的词距，需要依照所用字体、字号、字距进行不同判断，而且一般只拉伸、不挤压。

位於行末的標點。調成固定的半個漢字寬。

Note

In Japanese texts, periods at the end of a line typically do not have their space reduced, but Chinese texts do. This is especially important in Mainland China where the General Rules for Punctuation (GB/T 15834—2011) defines in 5.1.10 that if a full-width punctuation occurs at the end of a line, it should take up 1/2 em for a more pleasing aesthetic.

行末的句号，在日文排版中往往不进行挤压处理。但是对于中文排版，一般要进行处理，这对于中国大陆的排版规范尤其重要。《标点符号用法》（GB/T 15834—2011）有明确规定“5.1.10 标点符号排在一行末尾时，若为全角字符则应占半角字符的宽度（即半个字位置），以使视觉效果更美观。”

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 1/8 em.

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

As these punctuation marks indicate a longer pause at the end of a sentence, certain typesetting styles do not allow line adjustment to be made on them, maintaining their width to be 1 em.

由于句末标点表示停顿较大，因此有些排版风格禁止此项调整，而保持句号、问号、感叹号固定一个字宽。

由於句末標點表示停頓較大，因此有些排版風格禁止此項調整，而保持句號、問號、驚嘆號固定一個字寬。

Similar to space reduction, there are certain typesetting styles where the spacing between Han characters and Western texts are fixed at a default width, for example 1/4 em, in such cases, adjustments are not allowed.

很多排版风格在实际处理上，只允许最大拉伸到三分之一汉字宽。与上述挤压处理一样，在一些排版风格中，中西间距固定默认宽度（如四分之一汉字宽），被排除在行内调整对象之外，不允许被拉伸。

很多排版風格在實際處理上，只允許最大拉伸到三分之一漢字寬。與上述擠壓處理一樣，在一些排版風格中，中西間距固定默認寬度（如四分之壹漢字寬），被排除在行內調整對象之外，不允許被拉伸。

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：
