Thanks. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Xidorn Quan <quanxunzhen@gmail.com> Date: Sat, Feb 21, 2015 at 12:45 PM Subject: Selection on text with ruby To: www International <www-international@w3.org>, Koji Ishii < kojiishi@gmail.com>, Shinyu Murakami <murakami@antenna.co.jp> Hi, We just implement CSS Ruby on Gecko, and we recently get a request from users that when selecting a piece of text, the ruby annotations should be excluded from the selection as well as the text in clipboard. [1] AFAICS, it is a reasonable request. I don't think people generally wants to select the annotations. In most cases, people just need the base text. But I can see one case that, people may want to copy the whole markup structure for using in other places. Currently, in all browsers which support ruby, annotations will be selected and copied as if they are inline elements. But in Kindle apps (for iOS/Android), the annotations cannot be selected in any way. I'm pretty sure that in common cases, people would only want to select the base text. But what I'm not sure is, how often do people want to select the annotation as well, and what would they expect when moving the text to other places? I guess for plain text, they may expect that there are always brackets around the annotations. [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1130891 - Xidorn
