It's a very difficult problem to solve in the general case.

Imagine this markup:

    <p>It's a
        <strong>very difficult problem</strong>
        to
        <em>solve in the general case</em>.</p>

And then you want to select the text "difficult problem to solve".

You would essentially need to transform that markup to something like
this:

    <p>It's a
        <strong>very </strong>
        <span class="highlight">
            <strong>problem</span>
            to
            <em>solve</em>
        </span>
        <em>in the general case</em>.</p>

Is this doable?  Yes.  Easy?  Far from it.
