Is there a way to have this feature in Notepad++:

  1. select some text
  2. insert an html <tag>``</tag> around it (ie. <strong>, <em> etc)

I've found a plugin that does that, Webedit and it's available in Notepad++'s Plugin Manager (Plugins > Plugin Manager > Show Plugin Manager).

There's three ways to do this


Using the fingertext plugin

  1. install "FingerText" plugin. (tested 0.5.60 version).
  2. download finger text snippet.
  3. select text, press alt+/.
  4. for example type b (you can create your own "snippet tag" later).
    Notes: some version notepad++ must edit:
    $[![]!] to $[![(key)SELECTION]!]
  5. press tab or enter

  1. You can install any of this:

  2. select text, found and click menu "wrap with abbreviation".

  3. type your tag
  4. press Ok

Using multiple edit steps:

  1. Preparation step

    • click "Setting" > "Preferences" menu.
    • click Editing tab.
    • check "Enable (Ctrl+Mouse click/selection)" in "Multi Editing Settings" groupbox
  2. Execute this step

    1. Click before text, Ctrl+Click after text, like this:

      ` click here  `   text    Ctrl+` click here `
      
    2. Typing whatever <tag>, will be around like this:

      <tag>text<tag>

    3. Press Ctrl+ twice, and type /

From a related question

Try going into TextFX / TextFX Settings and check 'auto close XHTML tags'. This makes it work in plain HTML files too. You may need to install it if using a newer version of Notepad++

Click Plugins > Plugin Manager > Show Plugin Manager On the "available" tab check the box by "TextFX Characters" Click Install Restart Notepad++ Enable the auto-close XHTM features as described above.

Is this what you had in mind?
