I am trying to get the text from a user selection such as "The quick brown <i>fox</i> jumps over". The user in this case selected the text "brown <i>fox</i> jumps" but when i try to get the text via the getSelection js api all I see is brown and jumps. What I want is just the text "brown fox jumps".
Thank you

Hi,
If you want to make some processing on that selection or make further actions it is better to invoke a custom action [1] in which to obtain the selected text by using the JAVA API [2]. Please let us know if you need more information on this.
