HTML Paragraphs in BBEdit
Fix an issue when applying the HTML paragraph tag
In BBEdit, you can select a line and then apply the HTML Paragraph tag. It's a simple common task that HTML developers will use over and over.
The problem is, the paragraph tag gets applied to the line before and after the selected text:
<p>
Unstanch Belgrade
</p>
Unstanch Belgrade
</p>
I would rather have the tag be applied on the same line:
<p>Unstanch Belgrade</p>
Hidden Config Settings
This can be done by changing a little known expert settings to get the above results. Copy/Paste the following in terminal:
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit HTMLParagraphMarkup_ParagraphsOnSeparateLines -bool NO-
If you find you like it how it works by default:
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit HTMLParagraphMarkup_ParagraphsOnSeparateLines -bool YES-
Now when you apply the paragraph command to any selected text it won't add the paragraph tags on the separate lines.
