This is quite simple JavaScript call:

CKEDITOR.instances.yourEditorInstance.getData()

Returns:

<h1>Apollo 11</h1>    
<p><b>Apollo 11</b> was the spaceflight that landed the first humans, Americans <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Armstrong" title="Neil Armstrong">Neil Armstrong</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buzz_Aldrin" title="Buzz Aldrin">Buzz Aldrin</a>, on the Moon on July 20, 1969, at 20:18 UTC. Armstrong became the first to step onto the lunar surface 6 hours later on July 21 at 02:56 UTC.</p>

However:

CKEDITOR.instances.yourEditorInstance.editable().getText()

Returns:

Apollo 11

getText() displays everything in a single line. Doesn't display 2nd "Apollo 11 " in next line
