How can I quickly convert a bunch of text into paragraphs surrounded by <p> tags in an HTML document?

Perhaps with a freeware or jedit extension or something...





Anything free and efficient is fine.





I have a bunch of text that I would like to divide into paragraphs by lines.

How can I quickly convert a bunch of text into paragraphs surrounded by %26lt;p%26gt; tags in an HTML document?
Use a simple text editor - beware of WORD or other complex apps, as they may stuff things up by %26#039;helping%26#039; you.





I use EditPlus - shareware - I bought it, it%26#039;s so good - http://www.editplus.com





You should only have the paragraphs separated by newline newline chars (i.e. 2 of them).





Do a global substitution.





Replace newline newline





with %26lt;/p%26gt;newline newline%26lt;p%26gt;





or you can just use %26lt;/p%26gt;newline%26lt;p%26gt;





(Hope I typed that right!)

The %26quot;Four Greate Invention%26quot; of Replace Pioneer:


1) Find text much more accurate:


Support maximum 7 level filters in pattern match:


* Paragraph pattern filter: user can select only desired paragraph by


pattern matching.


* Paragraph range filter: among the matched paragraphs, user can


select a range to replace.


* Line pattern filter: user can select only desired line by pattern


matching.


* Line range filter: among the matched lines, user can select a range


to replace.


* Pattern filter: user can find final replace items by this pattern


matching.


* Range filter: among the matched items, user still can select a


range to replace.


* Condition filter: the additional powerful condition filter is to


remove unwanted result, make replace more accurate.








2) Replace text much more flexible:


Support user-defined transformation of replace text instead of fixed


text. The software can replace the found text with any self-defined


conversion, which make it easier to support flexible context-related


replacement. A lot of variables and functions are provided to support


the conversion.








3) File input/output much more powerful:


Support file spliting and merging in horizontal and vertical


direction.


Support Web Page and DOS command result as input file type.


Support UNICODE and Most of the other Encoding types.


4) Operation much more easier and reliable:








Recording and re-running scheme make replace and script creating work


much more easier, and detail recorded and highlighted change make


software much more reliable.
