Netbeans: Apply HTML code on highlighted text

Question

Is it possible to apply HTML code on highlighted text like in Zend Studio 5?

For example:

Answer 1

Open preferences -> Editor -> Macros (in version 6.9.1)

Open Tools > Options > Editor > Macros (in version 8.0.1)

Add a new macro called something like "html-bold", then hightlight it. Paste this in the Macro Code section:

cut-to-clipboard "<b>" paste-from-clipboard "</b>"

Set a shortcut if you want. I tried it with CTRL+B and it worked fine.

Note that it will replace the current contents of your clipboard with the text you selected.
