rubyAlign (Phonetic Guide Text Alignment)

This element specifies the alignment setting which shall be used to determine the placement of phonetic guide text with respect to the base text when this phonetic guide is displayed.

[Example: Consider a run of phonetic guide text which shall have the ruby text positioned to the far left of the base text. This constraint is specified using the following WordprocessingML:

<w:rubyPr>
…
<w:rubyAlign w:val="left"/>

…
</w:rubyPr>

The rubyAlign property is left for the phonetic guide, so the ruby text will be displayed on the left side of the base text. end example]
