I opened a google doc, it seems that the google doc is not a simple text area …. it seems that this is a customize stuff…. is there any library for doing that kind of things?

Most editors use the
contentEditableproperty. Simply setting it on any HTML element enables editing, copy&paste, spell checking, formatting etc. in modern user agents.However, google docs specifically does not use contentEditable. Instead, they implemented their own rendering engine in JavaScript. Unless you plan a project on the scale of google docs (i.e. you have at least, say, 3 people willing to work full-time on the rendering engine), contentEditable is the way to go.
