Description

在竖排的中文文献中,眉批的内容和作用通常跟西文文献的旁注(sidenote)相近。如果我们将眉批的方位视作逻辑方位——也即,出现在「行」的起始一侧的批注(margin-inline-start)——大致上可以自洽。

JLReq 只描述了竖排日文的「頭注」,其形式和功能基本等价于中文眉批。虽然 JLReq 将「頭注」翻译为「headnote」,但西文文献的 headnote 应另有所指。

我的问题是:CLReq 是否保留「眉批」这一术语?保留「眉批」并以「位于天头的旁注(sidenote at the top)」来解释它,还是干脆只将眉批视作旁注在竖排运用时的一种特例?


关于「脚注」——

  • 《现代汉语词典》(第 7 版)释义为:

    列在一页末了的附注。

  • 《现代汉语规范词典》(macOS 内置,版本不详)释义为:

    印在书页最下端的注解。

  • 另有学术研究认为脚注在中文古籍中也有出现。

JLReq 将日文「脚注」分为横排、竖排两种模式对待:横排脚注与西文 footnote 基本等价,竖排脚注则是某种 margin-inline-end 方位的 sidenote。相应地,JLReq 也将日文「傍注」分为两种模式对待。

我的问题是:CLReq 可否将「脚注」的方位视作逻辑方位,也即,横排时位于页面底端、竖排时位于页面左端,大致相当于 margin-block-end

Research direction

Start with issue #353 and compare its questions about Chinese terms and logical directions with the linked JLReq section on kinds of notes. Determine whether CLReq should retain and define “眉批” and how “脚注” maps to writing-mode directions, then document the agreed terminology and guidance in the relevant CLReq requirements.
