Question

I am working with HTML in Emacs and I am looking for ways to make basics operations as:

• convert list of string to HTML-list

  one
  two
  three
  

  to

  <ul>
   <li>one</li>
   <li>two</li>
   <li>three</li>
  </ul>
  

• add class to list of elements

  <a></a>
  <a></a>
  <a></a>
  

  to

  <a class="one"></a>
  <a class="one"></a>
  <a class="one"></a>
  

Is there any extensions which can helps me?

Answer 1

I would do this with a macro:

• Move to the first line, and type C-x (
• Type the <li>, move to the end </li>, and move to the next line
• End and repeat the macro on the remaining lines with C-x e e e e e…

This can easily be generalized to add classes to your <a> tags, and many other things.
