Japanese furigana above/below Kanji on the web

Hi,

As part of my style of learning I find it beneficial to produce learning materials for other students...
I can produce furigana above Kanji in documents - how do You do this on web documents/sites?

The "official" way is described here: http://www.w3.org/International/articles/ruby/.

I particularly like those sites that allow the reader to turn furigana on and off at will. You can probably do that with CSS, but I've not looked into that.

An alternative that I have used is

Code: Select all

<span title="furigana>kanji</span>

that way you get the "help" when you hover over the appropriate word.

After 15 years ruby is finally supported in Firefox
But nothing else properly supports it.

Here's how you use it in Firefox.
