### Topic: Ruby Markup Article

Richard would like to review this update:

<https://w3c.github.io/i18n-drafts/articles/ruby/markup.en.html>

Saying:

> Given that we will hopefully be soon publishing the Ruby Extensions spec to CR, I just updated the Ruby Markup article, which discusses how content authors can (and can't) currently use ruby markup.. I harmonised the format to match more recent how-to articles, but i also updated and (hopefully) improved the content too. I'd like to see if there are any objections to me posting the new version.
> 
> One significant addition, that i'd like folks to review, is the section "The rb tag", at <https://w3c.github.io/i18n-drafts/articles/ruby/markup.en.html#rb>
> 
> This attempts to address the misinformation out there about the usefulness of the rb tag.
