Change how BBEdit formats: remove line breaks after opening <p> and before </p>?

[Todd Everett]

Can I change how BBEdit is formatting the HTML for paragraphs? I set up a keyboard shortcut to apply paragraphs:

     Markup -> Block Elements -> Paragraph

When I do this, I get:

<p>

Meet the expert instructors and apply to share your unique skills & knowledge with our students.

</p>

I'd like to set it up so that the <p> tags aren't on their own line. Like this:

<p>Meet the expert instructors and apply to share your unique skills & knowledge with our students.</p>

Thanks!

BBEdit does offer an expert prefs option which you can set to
obtain the desired behavior.

To do so, please issue the following Terminal command on a
single line:

defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
HTMLParagraphMarkup_ParagraphsOnSeparateLines -bool NO

and that should do the job.


[PS: This option is not currently documented, but I'll make sure
we add an entry for it in the next update.]

I have been waiting patiently for years for this… thank you!

I usually want the P tags on the same line as the text, but occasionally I want it on separate lines (the default), and I've set up BBEdit to do it either way...

I didn't do anything in Terminal as Patrick describes, so if I use the contextual menu "Insert Tag" and choose "p", it puts the paragraph tags on separate lines.

However, I also created a Clipping called "p", and assigned it a keyboard shortcut of control-option-command-P. (It shows up as a cap "P" in the Clippings menu for some reason, although I don't actually hold down the shift key.) This clipping surrounds any selected text with paragraph tags on the same line as the text:

<p>#selectionorinsertion#</p>
#inline#

I also created a similar clipping called "p_class" that also puts the paragraph tags on the same line, plus a class placeholder:

<p class="#placeholderstart#class#placeholderend#">#selectionorplaceholder content#</p>
#inline#

...and another called "p_id" that puts the paragraph tags on the same line, plus an ID placeholder:

This way, depending on my overall formatting, I have a nice choice of how I want the P tags to appear.

Oops, I seem not to have pasted in the "p_id" clipping. Here it is:

<p id="#placeholderstart#id#placeholderend#">#selectionorplaceholder content#</p>
#inline#

(I tried to edit my original post from just a few minutes ago, but I can't see any way to do that from either Gmail or from the Google Groups interface. Anybody know a way to do that?)

Key names are always capitalized in menu commands, e.g. Command-Q. :-)

Awesome! Thanks so much!
