The formatting conversion feature allows you to convert ruby and emphasis mark notations into pixiv Novel formatting special tags at once.
This feature is available on both the desktop and mobile versions of pixiv when you post a novel, allowing you to easily convert supported formats with a single button.
Currently, the following formats are supported:
・Ruby notation
Before:｜漢字《kanji》
After: [[rb: 漢字 > kanji]]
・Emphasis mark notation
Before:《《text》》
After: [[emphasismark: text > •]]*Ruby (also known as furigana) are smaller characters placed above or beside Japanese kanji to show their pronunciation.
*Emphasis marks are widely used in Japanese writing, but might be confused with diacritics when combined with the alphabet. While this feature is available across all writing systems, use the preview to ensure your readers can enjoy your post without confusion.
*This feature is not available on the pixiv app.
