Description
The rt
element is a child element of the ruby element and
contains the annotation that will be displayed to the user on screen,
ideally beside or above the base text (rb) which
requires the annotation.
For simple ruby markup, only one
rt element may appear. However, there are more complex
mechanisms for marking up ruby, using the rtc element,
which do allow for multiple instances of the rt
element.
Use This For …
This element is used to
contain the annotation that relates to the foreign characters (contained
in the rb element) that require
annotation.
