Inserting a tag around selection

[Jean-Pierre Moularde]

Hello!
Is there a possibiity in Notepad++ to include the selected part of a text in an (X)HTML or an XML tab, such as we can specify that this text is to display in bold and italic?
Thanks for your help

Hi Jean-Pierre Moularde,
not as a native function, as far as I know.
What could be done is writing a python script to do it
but therefore you need to install the python plugin.
I wrote what needs to be done here.

So code could be a two liner like

seltext = editor.getSelText()
editor.replaceSel('<open>{0}</open>'.format(seltext))

This would set the text <open> before and </open> after your selection.
The {0} is where you selection will be put in.

If anything is unclear let us know.

Cheers
Claudia
