I hope this isn't the wrong category for this post - to me it is the closest match
since I want to ask about software valuable for language learning.
Basically I was wondering if anyone knew of any software which can generate HTML with
ruby annotations with extreme ease and speed, or which simply enables one to add inter-
linear annotations which are directly associated with a word of set of words? I prefer
a solution that has a 'link' between the annotation and word/set of words itself so
that it is visually obvious what word goes with what annotations. (For example if I
found it necessary to annotate 1 word with 5, that 1 word should have lots of extra
space around it so it is not visually confusing to see the 5 words are meant only to go
with that one word.)
For Japanese one pretty-good solution exists, but I'm not happy with the effort
required and the fact that it is only for Japanese.
http://jgloss.sourceforge.net/
Though I have written a filter for it which allows one to export ruby HTML, there is no
way to IMPORT HTML which already has ruby.
I would like to import some files which already have Ruby (Kokoro -
http://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000148/files/773_14560.html - Ruby only supported by
Internet Explorer) and add additional definitions to eventually print and use this for
shadowing.
Whatever solution I find needs to be at least as fast as writing annotations by hand.
Thanks

Check the Japanese support plugin for Anki. It can now take the following text (note the spaces and brackets):
黒[くろ]い 熊[くま]がいました。
and generate fairly nice looking annotated text (can't figure out how to take a screenshot, sorry). Since Anki uses HTML for display, whatever code is driving that is probably what you're looking for.
