documenteditor.selection.characterFormat.bold = true;//Gets the value for bold formatting of selected text.
let bold = documenteditor.selection.characterFormat.bold;
//Sets bold formatting for selected text.
documenteditor.selection.characterFormat.bold = true;You can toggle the bold formatting based on existing value at selection. Refer to the following sample code.
documenteditor.editor.toggleBold();The Italic formatting for selected text can be get or set by using the following sample code.
//Gets the value for italic formatting of selected text.
let italic : boolean = documenteditor.selection.characterFormat.italic;
//Sets italic formatting for selected text.

documenteditor.editor.toggleItalic();The underline style for selected text can be get or set by using the following sample code.
//Gets the value for underline formatting of selected text.
let underline : Underline = documenteditor.selection.characterFormat.underline;
//Sets underline formatting for selected text.

documenteditor.editor.toggleUnderline('Single');The strikethrough style for selected text can be get or set by using the following sample code.
//Gets the value for strikethrough formatting of selected text.
let strikethrough : Strikethrough = documenteditor.selection.characterFormat.strikethrough;
//Sets strikethrough formatting for selected text.
documenteditor.selection.characterFormat.strikethrough='Single' | 'Normal';You can toggle the strikethrough style of selected text based on existing value at selection by specifying a value. Refer to the following sample code.
documenteditor.editor.toggleStrikethrough();The selected text can be made superscript by using the following sample code.
//Gets the value for baselineAlignment formatting of selected text.
let baselineAlignment : BaselineAlignment = documenteditor.selection.characterFormat.baselineAlignment;
//Sets baselineAlignment formatting for selected text.
documenteditor.selection.characterFormat.baselineAlignment='Superscript';Toggle the selected text as superscript or normal using the following sample code.
documenteditor.editor.toggleSuperscript();The selected text can be made subscript by using the following sample code.
//Gets the value for baselineAlignment formatting of selected text.
let baselineAlignment : BaselineAlignment = documenteditor.selection.characterFormat.baselineAlignment;
//Sets baselineAlignment formatting for selected text.
documenteditor.selection.characterFormat.baselineAlignment='Subscript';Toggle the selected text as subscript or normal using the following sample code.
documenteditor.editor.toggleSubscript();You can make a subscript or superscript text as normal using the following code.
documenteditor.selection.characterFormat.baselineAlignment='Normal';The size of selected text can be get or set using the following code.
//Gets the value for fontSize formatting of selected text.
let fontSize : number = documenteditor.selection.characterFormat.fontSize;
//Sets fontSize formatting for selected text.
documenteditor.selection.characterFormat.fontSize= 32;The color of selected text can be get or set using the following code.
//Gets the value for fontColor formatting of selected text.
let fontColor : string = documenteditor.selection.characterFormat.fontColor;
//Sets fontColor formatting for selected text.
documenteditor.selection.characterFormat.fontColor= 'Pink';
documenteditor.selection.characterFormat.fontColor= '#FFC0CB';The font style of selected text can be get or set using the following sample code.
//Gets the value for fontFamily formatting of selected text.
let baselineAlignment : string = documenteditor.selection.characterFormat.fontFamily;
//Sets fontFamily formatting for selected text.
