rp
elementruby
element, either immediately before or
immediately after an rt
element.HTMLElement
.The rp
element can be used to provide parentheses
around a ruby text component of a ruby annotation, to be shown by
user agents that don't support ruby annotations.
An rp
element represents
nothing .
The example above, in which each ideograph in the text
漢字 is annotated with its phonetic
reading, could be expanded to use rp
so that in legacy user agents the readings
are in parentheses:
...
<ruby>漢<rp> (</rp><rt>かん</rt><rp>) </rp>字<rp> (</rp><rt>じ</rt><rp>) </rp></ruby>
...
In conforming user agents the rendering would be as above, but in user agents that do not support ruby, the rendering would be:
... 漢 (かん) 字 (じ) ...
