Re: Selection on text with ruby

I asked a Japanese TTS and a11y expert, his answer is:
"That's a difficult problem. 
For current TTS, it is better skipping ruby text on copying to plain text.
However, in future, it may be better including ruby text 
if it is standardized how to represent ruby in plain text.
I will confirm it to TTS vendors..."
