--- Comment #11 from Seán Ó Séaghdha <sean.an...@gmail.com> ---
While the info on Latex is interesting, it’s not really useful for a GUI
program like LO.  What happens when the delimiter is part of the text?

The simplest solution would be for LO to do NO second-guessing about what is a
word or what isn’t a word.  You can’t know all possible user contexts.  The
selection should be accepted as a word or sequence that you want to add one set
of ruby text to.

As it is, the dialogue is very useful if you’re adding phonetics to continuous
text in a language that uses spaces (or maybe where the syllable is
predictable), but this feature is most used for Japanese where it’s used more
for the occasional unusual or lesser-know pronunciation, not for long stretches
of text.

The educational use for Chinese might still do that though.

Maybe it actually needs two modes?
