"rp" tag : ruby text tag

The <rp> tag can be used to provide parentheses around a ruby text, to be shown by browsers that do not support ruby annotations. Use <rp> together with <ruby> and <rt>: the "ruby" element consists of one or more characters that needs an explanation/pronunciation, and an "rt" element that gives that information, and an optional "rp" element that defines what to show for browsers that do not support ruby annotations.

Attributes: the <rp> element supports the global attributes and events attributes.
