xpinyin defines vsep that can move pinyin below the charater, but how to move pinyin to the left or right of a charachter? Is there a way to rotate pinyin to the left? TKS!
HERE is MWE:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xeCJK}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\usepackage{xpinyin}
\begin{document}
\Huge\sffamily
\xpinyin[vsep={0.97em}]{举}{ju3} \xpinyin[vsep={-0.57em}]{举}{ju3} \xpinyin{\rotatebox[origin=c]{90}{举}} \xpinyin{\rotatebox[origin=c]{-90}{举}}
\end{document}
It might be worthwhile asking the package maintainer to add a new feature.
Certainly, the information is in the Pinyin database, and, once read in, items can be positioned anywhere, including multiple readings.
Demonstration (using lualatex)
