When I read the headline I thought it's some weird new syntax for embedding Ruby code snippets in HTML. This is definitely not going to be confusing... /s

  My initial title was: The <ruby> HTML element But the ruby tag got stripped by HN and I ended up with The HTML element

      Not really, it renders: The andlt;Ruby> HTML element https://cln.sh/LteC0S https://cln.sh/LteC0S

  I thought the same. Now that I read the documentation I think I will be fine and confusion less likely.

  It's been around for a decade in browsers[1], and the terminology itself precedes that of the ruby language. You haven't been confused for the last 11 years, so this doesn't seem to have been a problem. [1] The W3C spec is even older.

    I think I used it in 2005 so it’s definitely olddd.
