How to automatically add something at beginning and end of each line?

[yozloy]

Hi, Everybody!
I'm working on a project to convert some text to html.

what I got is many paragraphs, It makes sense use some functions to
add <p> at the beginning of each line and</p> and the end of each
line.

any advice?

Generally the manual would answer this.

Text -> prefix/suffix lines.

Yep. Take a good long look at the text menu.

Alternatively, this grep search and replace would work...

Search:
(.*)\r

Replace:
<p>\1</p>\r

If you only perform it on the selected text, it'll give a bit of
control over how greedy it is. If your paragraphs are separated by two
returns, then add another /r at the end of the search and replace
strings.

Or leave the returns out entirely and change .* to .+, so only lines
with one or more characters will be affected.
