<rt> tag — TutorialBrain

Note/Info The <rt> tag is a new tag added in HML5.

HTML5 <rt> tag

The <rt> tag defines Character pronunciation of ruby annotations.

Ruby annotation is used to display certain characters in languages spoken in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Macau, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea & Taiwan.

You must set the <rt> element inside the <ruby> element.

It is better to include the <rp> tag also as a fallback value. This will show the text inside this tag for all the browsers which does not support the <ruby> annotations.

Syntax:
<rt>text…</rt>

<ruby>
你好<rp>(</rp><rt>hello</rt><rp>)</rp>
不错<rp>(</rp><rt>nice</rt><rp>)</rp>
</ruby>
