Tiptap: How to get selected text?

[ageeye-cn]

Can you provide a method?

[philippkuehn]

This is already possible with textBetween:

const { selection, state } = this.editor
const { from, to } = selection
const text = state.doc.textBetween(from, to, ' ')

Is there possible to get the selected part but the HTML version? So, not only text.

[hanspagel]

That gets only the text, not a structured kind of content (e. g. headlines, paragraphs), so there’s nothing that can be transformed to HTML.

If your editor looks like that:

# Headline

Text

And you select #Head only. What would you expect?

This:
<h1>Head

Or this:
<h1>Head</h1>

Both is wrong for different reasons. The first wouldn’t be the HTML you’d need to work with. And the second wouldn’t be the structure from the document.
