    • What i want to get done is fill opening tags and closing tags for content i have to do for a site

      Its tons of products from manufacturers websites that i need to style, what i am doing is is using notepad ++ to fill down and insert the <li> tag for the content but for the life of me i cannot find a way to insert the closing tag at the end of each line</li>

      for a better example my content looks like this ( of course its actual text in my case)

      features

      <li>111111111111111111111111111111111111
      <li>111111111111111111111111111111111111
      <li>111111111111111111111111111111111111
      <li>111111111111111111111111111111111111
      <li>111111111111111111111111111111111111
      <li>111111111111111111111111111111111111
      <li>111111111111111111111111111111111111

      with notepad ++ i can run a command to fill down and insert <li> so that is pretty easy, but now i want to fill down and insert at the end as well with </li>
      this will save me coping and pasting for hours

      I really hope someone knows how i can go about it as i have a few hundred products to do.

    • Couple ways. You can try the column editor (Alt+c)
      or
      record a macro - hit end type the text - arrow down to the next eol
      then run macro multiple times (example, for number of lines you have)

      Make sure you test on a copy, not the original.

      You could look at this one: crimsoneditor.com/

      Although it's very old, it still works well. The "Column Mode" on it works much better than Notepad++. With it, your edit would take about a minute.

      Another tool you might want to look at, www.asap-utilities.com/ You can add text begin/end or anything, when finished, export as a text file.
