For example when selection is inside ``, we need not only text that's selected, but also information about the style applied in this location, so that `` tag. === Outdated description: === Because of custom implementation of drag & drop (#11460) we will use `selection.getSelectedHTML` and `range.deleteContents` more often to read and remove dragged HTML. Current implementation of `selection.getSelectedHTML` can not be based on `range.cloneContents` because it changes range (#11586) and works not as we could expected. For this reasons we need to reimplement `selection.getSelectedHTML`, `range.cloneContents` and `range.deleteContents`. `range.cloneContents` and `range.deleteContents` should behave more as user could expect than simple clone or delete. For example: - for '`xxb[a]rxx`' `range.cloneContents` should return '`a`', - for '`

[foo]

`' `range.deleteContents`' should remove whole paragraph, - for '`[
foob]ar
`' `range.deleteContents` should change contents to the '`
ar
`'. `selection.getSelectedHTML` should be based on `range.cloneContents`." New Feature assigned Normal General
