[this page | pdf | back links]
The HTML <rt> element indicates an explanation
/ pronunciation of characters (typically for East Asian typography). It is new
in HTML 5.
It
is used in conjunction with <rp> and <ruby> elements
(the <ruby>
element includes one or more characters that need an explanation /
pronunciation, the <rt> element
gives that information and the optional <rp> element
indicates what to show for browsers that do not support such characters.
The attributes
it can take are HTML
global attributes and HTML event attributes.
To create or access such
an element in JavaScript

corresponding HTML DOM
object supports standard
DOM properties and methods. The default style applicable to this element is
