How to get body text of webpage with all attributes

Question

I want to extract dynamic content from page, with exactly same as it is in webpage not plain text. I am using below block which gives the plain text but i need like attribted text.

function getDocumentTranslatedText() {
    return document.body.innerText;    
}

Any suggestion would be more helpful.

if you want tags too, use [`innerHTML`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/innerHTML) instead of `innerText` — Pete, Jul 09 '19 at 07:45
If you're trying to get RTF then you're out of luck. It's plain text or HTML. — Reinstate Monica Cellio, Jul 09 '19 at 07:53
Then you have your answer. You'll need software to convert HTML to RTF. You're not doing it in the browser. — Reinstate Monica Cellio, Jul 09 '19 at 07:54

Use innerHTML to get a HTML string rather than a plain text string that you'd get from innerText.

return document.body.innerHTML;
