Convert multiple lines to paragraphs, divs, etc.

[ebarstad]

Hi,

[sorry, just updated the title so it made more sense... hopefully]

I couldn't find this anywhere on the forum or in the features of WeBuilder 2005 (I apologize if I missed it or if it's part of 2006) so I'd like to suggest it here:

It would be great to have the option of selecting lines of code and converting them into paragraphs, divs, spans, etc through the Selection context menu. For example, if I highlight the following:

Code: Select all

This is paragraph 1.
This is paragraph 2.
This is paragraph 3.

I would like to be able to quickly convert that into:

Code: Select all

<p>This is paragraph 1.</p>
<p>This is paragraph 2.</p>
<p>This is paragraph 3.</p>

Thanks,
Eric

I second the need for adding <div> and <span> tags!

that would be cool.

It's pretty quick if you have a snippet assigned to a shortcut. I do this sort of monkey crap all day.

triple click to select the line
wrap it with a snippet via shortcut

only 'problem' is that selecting the line also selects the carriage return so your closing tag ends up on a new line.

Yeah and question arises, whether it is good to select the return.

It is good because it is standard behavior, also it is more convenient when you drag lines or delete them, but on the other hand it is not good in this case when you need to wrap something around line.

Maybe implement one of your shift adjusters? Like triple click selects the return and shift+triple click doesnt? or something. I'd use it all the time, that's for sure.

Worth thinking about this...
