Inserting <span>

[madhg]

How can I get HTMPad to insert <span>...</span> around selected text? I can't see how to do it. Is a very desirable feature when working with css.

I don't have HTML Pad, only WeBuilder, but I believe HP has the code library feature. Essentially, you just add a snippet.

Open the library by clicking the 'View' menu, and 'Library'.
Create a new snippet and give it a name (eg, 'Add span')
Give it a shortcut key if desired. This'll be useful to add this snippet quickly.
In the 'Insert before caret', type <span>.
In the 'Insert after caret', type </span>.

This works as desired around highlighted text - which is a useful feature - very clever and well thought out.

Thanks for quick and helpful reply; it works fine.
