In Ckeditor how to copy / get all formatting from selected text

Question

I am using CKEditor ver.3.6 in my ASP.NET MVC 3 application.

My requirement is to create a "Format" parameter in a Google doc document. I need to implement the "Format" parameter in ckeditor.

In Ckeditor, how to copy / receive all formatting, such as font, font effects, center alignment with selected text (source text) to newly selected text (destination).

Please suggest the right solution.

Use this function to replace the contents of the selected html with text in one field. By pressing the button, call this function:

function Replace() { var sel = editor.getSelection(); var ele=sel.getStartElement(); if(ele.hasAttributes()) { var insertele= editor.document.createElement('span'); ele.copyAttributes(insertele,{type:1,value:1}) insertele.setHtml($("#repTxt").val()); editor.insertElement(insertele); } }
