For putting p string into div we can use jquery’s wrap() function like this:

 $('p').wrap("<div></div>");

Is there a way to enclose every occurrence of the string ‘p’ in a html tag?

<html>
    <head>

    </head>
    <body>

        bla bla bla Hello world other words and etc and again Hello world

    </body>
</html>

In this html document there are two “Hello world”, how can I put they in p tag?

The needed html result must be:

bla bla bla `<p>Hello world</p>` other words and etc and again `<p>Hello world</p>`

With your example.. you can do it like this using regex

$('body').html(function(i,v){
  return v.replace(/Hello world/g,'<p>Hello world</p>');
});

Or using split

$('body').html(function(i,v){
  return v.split('Hello world').join('<p>Hello world</p>');
});
