Notepad++: Encapsulate text in tags

Question

I was wondering if there is an easy way to put entire lumps of text in tags in Notepad++.

For example, say I have the following:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Is there a way how I can select the text in each line and then press a hotkey or something, and have all the text I just selected encased in a tag (such as a p tag)?

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</p>

Answer 1

Have a look at the Macro capabilities of Notepad++.

Your Macro would do the following, giving you have selected the Text to put in Tags.

CTRL-X
Type: <p>
CTRL-V
Type: </p>
