Ruby text
rt
The rt element is used within a ruby element to place small pronunciation marks next to an East Asian language character.
A ruby element without any rt elements is meaningless, therefore it is considered to be a required element.
On the other hand the rb, rp, and rtc elements are all optional.
Example
ツルの <<ruby 恩 <<rt おん>> >> <<ruby 返 <<rt がえ >> >> し
ツルの恩返し
