Budou is a Python library and CLI tool that automatically organizes CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) text into semantically meaningful chunks wrapped in non-breaking HTML markup for beautiful, legible line breaking on the web. It uses word segmenters and part-of-speech tagging to produce chunks that CSS inline-block styling keeps intact at line ends.
Use cases
- prevent Japanese text from breaking mid-word on my website
- improve CJK typography and line breaks in HTML
- wrap Chinese sentences in semantic chunks for responsive web design
- process Japanese text into inline-block spans via CLI
- fix ugly line breaks in Korean web content
When to choose
- you need quality CJK line breaking on a Python-based website or CMS
- you want automatic HTML chunking with configurable segmenters like MeCab
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use its successor BudouX instead
- you need non-HTML output or non-Python environments
