====Close.. (Alt+Ctrl+C)====

Asks for a {{field|Close Lines|Close}} phrase to work with and then closes each {{defined|line}} of the selection with the specified phrase, i.e. appends the specified phrase to each {{defined|line}}.

Optionally, {{field|Close Lines|Close non-empty lines only}} can be used to close {{defined|non-empty lines}} only, which ensures that {{defined|empty lines}} are not modified at all.

Optionally, using the {{field|Quote Lines|Skip tail spaces}}, the closing phrase may be inserted just before all tail {{defined|white-spaces}} on each line. This way, any current ''end-of-line'' {{defined|white-spaces}} are kept unmodified, and the closing phrase is prepended to those {{defined|white-spaces}}, after the last {{defined|graph}} (i.e. {{defined|non-white-space}}) character.

Note: When closing of {{defined|empty lines}} is allowed, and tail {{defined|white-spaces}} are to be skipped, special consequential case occurs. On {{defined|empty lines}}, closing phrase is prepended, because tail {{defined|white-spaces}} is all that those line contain.

Note: The selection always persists in this tool.

{{tip}} Combine the {{feature|Quote Lines}} tool with the {{feature|Close Lines}} tool in order to write paragraphs or lists in HTML documents without having to bother with {{string|<nowiki><p></nowiki>}} or {{string|<nowiki><li></nowiki>}} tags while writing. Write all paragraphs first, each one on a separate line (you may use {{feature|Word Wrap}} (hotkey {{hotkey|Ctrl+W}}) to see long lines automatically wrapped into several lines, since the {{feature|Word Wrap}} does not affect tools). When done, select all the lines and use both {{feature|Quote Lines}} and {{feature|Close Lines}} tools to add the {{string|<nowiki><p></nowiki>}} and {{string|<nowiki></p></nowiki>}} tags (or {{string|<nowiki><li></nowiki>}} and {{string|<nowiki></li></nowiki>}} tags) to each line.
