For review: Time & date, Essential concepts
A draft of a new article, Time & date, Essential concepts is out for wide review. We are looking for comments by 22 June.
This article introduces a number of basic concepts needed to understand other articles that deal with time zones and handling of dates and times on the Web.
Please send any comments as github issues by clicking on the link “Leave a comment” at the bottom of the article. (This will add some useful information to your comment.)

New article: Ruby markup
Ruby is the name given to the small annotations in Japanese and Chinese content that are rendered alongside base text, usually to provide phonetic information, but sometimes to provide other information.
This article discusses how to use HTML5 markup for ruby text. It covers what works and what is still aspirational pending more widespread browser support.
The aim of markup is principally to establish the relationships between the base text and the ruby text (the annotations). Information about how to then apply adjustments to the default styling of ruby text which be covered by Ruby Styling, which is still in development.
