The editor uses the execCommand method to apply text formatting and other commands to the selected text within the contenteditable element. JavaScript is used to manage button clicks and execute the appropriate execCommand based on the user's actions.
Please note that execCommand is now considered deprecated and has limitations in modern browsers. It is recommended to explore alternative methods and libraries for rich text editing.
