Comment (by Cheffheid):

 As it turns out, IE11 replaced `selection` with `getSelection()` and so
 this patch doesn't really do much for that browser. See also

 Couldn't get `createRange()` to work on it either (reading into it, it
 should, so I'm not sure what I did wrong), and simply passing whatever it
 returns causes only the opening tag to appear in the right place.

 I'll fiddle with it some more when I get the chance, I wouldn't doubt that
 I was looking at it wrong at 5:30am. :)
