Notes

In ruby text, the annotation characers (marked with <rt>) appear on top of the base characters (marked with <rb>) and are smaller in size.

Note: If your browser does not handle ruby text correctly, the sample above should display with the annotation in parentheses.

ldsXML markup for ruby-formatted text is taken directly from the W3C XHTML 1.1 specification.
