Hi there,
I primarily work with HTML and XML. I find jEdit to be an amazing tool, in particular
how sidekick parses and displays the markup language.
One feature that I would dearly like, is a way for me to:
i) Wrap selected lines with tags
ii) Wrap a selection with tag
1) Wrap selection with an arbitrary tag
Often time, I'm required to take multiple lines and wrap them with an arbitrary tag.
Right now, I make use of beanshell macros to do this, but they are hardcoded to specific
tags (like <li> or <p>). I would like to do this without having to type into a dialog
box.

Oops... 2) I would like to have the option to do this across multiple lines. This is great for making individual paragraphs or list elements. I have macros that do it, but some editors on OS X (like Textmate, espresso) do this out of the box. See image 02_Wrap_selected_lines_in_tag.png Thanks, Tai |

Looks like a nice feature for the XML plugin. |

Thanks Dale, I'd love to see it implemented. -T |

+1 to that!! |

Have you tried the XInsert plugin? Not sure about arbitrary tags, but it looks like it might not be too difficult to create your own custom tag libraries. |

Actually, now that you mention it, this might be a templates or supertemplates or
xinsert feature rather than something that needs to be added to XML plugin, but Ia
m not familiar enough with those other plugins to say for sure. In my earlier comment, when I said +1 to that, I thought this request was for reformatting words (as in word wrap) for the contents between a tag (instead of using the traditional paragraph separation criteria that jedit's built in reformat paragraph uses) but after looking at the images you attached, I realize your request is not about word wrap, but "tag wrapping". |
