How do I add and remove tags around selected text?

• 0
  I want to process a string inside a textarea to get the selected text and add an element tag around it like
  

  $('#click_but').click(function(){
  	var el = $('.text_area')
  	var control = el[0];
  	var text = $(control).val();
  	if (control.selectionStart != control.selectionEnd) {
  		val = text.substring(control.selectionStart, control.selectionEnd);
  		console.log([el.val(),val])
  	}
  	return false;
  });

  
  
  

  
  Test text
  It's just text.
  [Dedicated test] Link [/ Dedicated test]
  text is text
  

  
  
  

  Текст для теста <br>
  Это просто текст <br>
  <a href="#">Ссылка</a> <br>
  текст есть текст <br>

  
  and then return all the code as in habr
