HTML rp Tag

HTML rp Tag: Main Tips

• HTML rp tags define an HTML ruby fallback parenthesis element.
• It proves useful when the user's browser does not support ruby annotations.
• You have to place rp tags right before or after an <rt> element.

Short rp Tag Tutorial

HTML rp tags can be used to define a fallback option for the browsers that have no ruby text support:

<ruby>攻殻
  <rp>（ </rp>
  <rt>こうかく</rt>
  <rp> ）</rp>
</ruby>

You should use rp HTML tags to specify which characters need to be displayed to convey ruby text properly. In most cases, it is parentheses. If a pair of them wrap an <rt> element, each parenthesis should be surrounded by a pair of rp tags.
