Comment (by Michael Arestad):

 Replying to [comment:5 grosbouff]:
 > It should fetch HTML code and allow to filter tags to get images,
 videos, audios, and text-styling (bold, italic, etc).
 > Plugins should be able to add filters and actions on it : allow new
 tags, convert "popular" pieces of HTML codes(Youtube, Soundcloud, etc) to
 Oembed stuff.

 The current implementation already does some of that. If you're on a
 YouTube page and hit Press This, it'll snag and provide the embed code.
 We're working on making that a bit more visual and seeing if we can
 improve the intelligence of how PT selects content for you.

 I don't plan on implementing anything that brings in HTML markup for text
 styling. That functionality will still exist on the full editor if needed.
 We're making it much easier to hop from Press This into the full editor
 without losing progress as well. This could allow you, should you desire
 to, the ability to hop into the full editor and paste in the styled
 content.
