      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
