Generate furigana(振り仮名) from Japanese

It uses MeCab (a Natural Language Toolkit) to split Japanese into words, and superscript it with furigana (振り仮名).

Example:

input

from furigana.furigana import print_html
print_html('澱んだ街角で僕らは出会った')

output

澱よど ん だ 街角まちかど で 僕ぼく ら は 出で 会あ っ た

input

from furigana.furigana import print_html
print_html('お茶にお煎餅、よく合いますね')

output
