CellInformation

gives information about selected cells in the notebook represented by the notebook object obj.

Details and Options

To use CellInformation, you first need to load the Developer Utilities Package using Needs["Developer`"].
CellInformation can give information both about selections within cells, and cells selected as a whole.
CellInformation returns a list of rules that include information on cell styles, selection positions, and other features.

Assign a generated notebook object to a symbol:

Wolfram Language code: nb = NotebookPut[Notebook[{Cell["Subsection heading", "Subsection"], Cell["Some text.", "Text"]}]];

The style of cells can be read directly from any notebook object with Developer`CellInformation:

Wolfram Language code: SelectionMove[nb, All, Notebook];"Style" /. Developer`CellInformation[nb]
