jquery - Javascript function to copy text raw data

Question

I want to write a js function such that when copying certain text, it copies its raw form. What I mean by raw is that, for example, if I want to copy: text1 text2, then that js function should not copy them as: text1 text2 but should rather copy them as **text1** *text2*.

I just know that I can get selected text using function: window.getSelection() but it doesn't copy text raw form.

Any help would be appreciated :).

Answer 1

In which context are you working? In html? If you want to get content from an html-element you could use .innerHTML or .innerText or the jQuery equivalents .html() or .text().
