Description:
Suggested code for insertTags()

The current implementation of insertTags() (used to insert characters/tags while editing) in wikibits.js is inadequate for Internet Explorer and Opera: the resulting text selection is very inconvenient.

The proposed insertTags() prototype is attached. Please see my en.wp linked page for examples and more info.

Version: 1.11.x
Severity: enhancement
