I am attempting to grab all of the content out of a xamRichTextEditor (either through xamRichTextEditor.Selection.Range.Text or xamRichTextEditor.Document.GetTextInSpan(<span>), including the styling. For instance, if I have the following text:
This is sample data.I am using these as examples.
I want to be able to know what letters have the various styling. I want to know that the "am" in sample is underlined, the "the" in these is bold, the "exam" in example is italicized, and that the line "I am using the types of styling I allow in the editor" is tabbed and a larger font than the rest. Is there a way to extract that styling data for all or part of the text in the xamRichTextEditor control? Something along the lines of:
This is s<u>am</u>ple data.I am using <b>the</b>se as <i>exam</i>ples.
<tab/>I am using the types of styling I allow in the editor.
I know that you can get the CommonCharacterSettings of a node, but from what I've read, if there are multiple styling types in the same node, the settings are null. I want to be able to paste it into another document type, but maintain all the styling/formatting. Please let me know if you would like more explanation of what I am looking for.
Thank you!
