## Description

Clean Selection can be enabled for public post types, post content, and individual
comments. It includes three workflows:

 * Select and copy.
 * Quote a selection into the WordPress comment form.
 * Collect and copy multiple excerpts in document order.

The plugin does not restyle post or comment content. Its popup can use the accessible
built-in appearance or expose stable classes for theme-controlled styling.

### Theme integration

Default selectors cover common classic and block themes. Sites with custom markup
can configure content, comment, and comment-textarea selectors on the settings page.

When Theme-controlled classes is selected, use `.clean-selection-wp-popup` and its`
__preview`, `__actions`, and `__button` elements in theme CSS.

### Source code

The operational Clean Selection core is minified with Terser. Its complete readable
source is included beside it as `assets/js/cleanselection.js`. Project source and
build tooling are published at https://github.com/cleanselection/cleanselection.
