These tests check whether and how a user agent displays ruby markup in XHTML 1.0 that is served as text/html (without CSS help).
Note that ruby markup is not defined as part of the HTML 4.01 or XHTML 1.0 specifications, so there should be no expectation for such markup to be supported.
See the results below for user agents tested. This section summarizes the results of those tests.
The only browser that renders ruby natively is IE, but then only for simple ruby. An addon is available for Firefox that enables both simple and complex ruby.
None of the browsers complain about the presence of the ruby markup. All browsers display rp characters for simple ruby if they fail to render ruby before the base text.
These are results for the latest versions of each browser tested. Green means passed, Ochre means partial pass, Red means fail. Numbers in the table relate to notes immediately below.
