QTextEdit, (QPLAINTEXTEDIT) Need Help with making a copy to another QTextEdit along with its Color & other Format such as Bold for each letter...

Hi, I trying out several ways of making a copy. However, I am using QTextCursor to make the selection. Now That the text is selected in a QTextEdit Document I want to copy each line, one at a time into a different QTextEdit document.
Whatever way I have tried. will not copy the Color Info, & Bold info of each Letter in the Document.

I have tried :
Copying text as selected by QTextcursor --- just copies over Black Colored text into QTextEdit

Copying the input and output over with insertasHtml & insertHtml methods, the result was a jumbled up document in 2nd QTextEdit
CUT & PASTE submethods --- not working

I would love to know the proper method of copying over the QTextCursor's selected text, along with Color info into a 2nd QTextEdit. This is so that both QTextEdits look the same!

try to get styleSheet() from one text edit and set it to another one.

Hmm, that is an interesting solution. I will dig into how to set StyleSheet from one to the other. I had been using properties boxes and dynamic setting of the Fonts only. I will look into copying one style sheet over to the other to see if this will do the trick.
