FrameMaker defines the typesetting rules for Chinese and
Korean text in the Kumihan tables in the MIF file (see the MIF Reference online
manual for details). The Kumihan specification defines the line-breaking
rule and inter- character spacing rules for Japanese characters.
FrameMaker has implemented similar rules for Chinese and Korean
documents.
- Asian hyphenation
- A rule to prohibit certain characters from beginning a new line
or ending a line is defined in the Kumihan table. You can customize
the Kumihan table by modifying the table in MIF. See the Kumihan
tables section in the MIF Reference online
manual.
- Spacing settings for Asian punctuation characters
- The spacing settings for Asian punctuation characters, brackets,
and so forth are defined in the Asian Punctuation text box in the
Asian properties of the paragraph designer.
- Western/Asian word spacing and Asian character spacing
- These settings can be defined in the Asian properties of the
paragraph designer.
For details on spacing and punctuation settings, see the
FrameMaker User Guide.
