How to copy formatting from the selected text?
<p>Here's one usecase that has been baffling me. When I select some text and paste it in any of Google's applications like docs or notebook, it somehow manages to paste the text with its original formatting and sometimes images itself. Can someone tell me how to do this using javascript/jquery?  </p>

<p><strong>Edit:</strong>
One more scenario that I am looking at is say designing a server-based copy/paste mechanism.</p>
