<ruby>
The <ruby> element allows one or more spans of phrasing content to be marked with ruby annotations.
Point
- Ruby annotations are short runs of text presented alongside base text, primarily used in East Asian typography as a guide for pronunciation or to include other annotations.
In Japanese, this form of typography is also known as furigana.
