Replicate paragraph text using jQuery

Question

I have a paragrah that I need to replicate dynamically. How do I do this in jQuery? Here is example code:

<p class="info">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, 
    sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p>

The paragraph needs to be copied to another part of the page that will look like this:

<p id=print-info> jQuery inserted paragraph text </p>

I have thought of using the .attr() method but not sure how to go about doing that for paragraph text.

Use this line, as seen in this fiddle

$('#print-info').html($('.info:first').html());
