The Ruby parenthesis element (<rp>)

The HTML <rp> element is used in ruby annotations for the benefit of browsers that don't support Ruby annotations.

Syntax:

<ruby><rt><rp>(</rp><rp>)</rp></rt></ruby>

Attributes:

• global attributes
• event attributes

The <rp> element may be used to present content to users who are viewing the ruby text on a browser that doesn't understand or support ruby, but removes that content for browsers that do support ruby. The content inside the <rp> element should be an opening or closing parenthesis, although there's no definitive rule about which character should be used. It's most likely that you'll use "(",")","[" or "]".

Example
