--- Comment #5 from AdacAlatiorn <[email protected]> ---
Came across this bug in June:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/librewriter-html-exporter-discards-furigana-characters-instead-of-exporting-as-ruby/123787

Looks like this is a very old bug and from time passed seems unlikely to be
fixed.

Good news is it this seems like such a simple thing.

Bad news is the HTML module source is huge (37KLOC!), and seems dated (hasn't
kept pace with HTML standards?), gives results quite different from what the
HTML CSS specifies, and doesn't support low hanging fruit like converting <span
class="XYZ"> into a very Libre-friendly Character Style. (Yet classes on <p>
mostly work).

I'll try fixing both the ruby and character style thing with what is there now,
hoping the changes are minor.

But for future-proofing, better to support modern HTML would be better, and
that perhaps may reduce the size and complexity of managing HTML by relying on
modern HTML libraries to do the heavy lifting.
