<ruby>

Phonetic annotations above the text, like Japanese furigana.

<ruby> wraps the base, <rt> carries the reading and <rp> holds fallback parentheses, which only appear in browsers unable to place the annotation above the line.

It is an entire piece of Asian typography that HTML absorbed as a native element, with its own rules for line breaking and alignment.
