You see work in progress here; this section already reflects future TED Notepad version 6.0.0.14.
This section may contain incomplete, premature, or mistaken information, prone to change without notice.

Close.. (Alt+Ctrl+C)

Asks for a Close phrase to work with and then closes each line of the selection with the specified phrase, i.e. appends the specified phrase to each line.

Optionally, only non-empty lines can be appended to, which ensures that empty lines are not modified at all.

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

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

Example: (an e-mail received from a user)
----- Original Message ----- Great notepad! Tabs, you need tabs for multiple documents. Cosmetic, supeficial, of course. But that's what people are looking for these days.
Result, using Close: <br> and Close non-empty lines only checked:
----- Original Message ----- Great notepad!<br> Tabs, you need tabs for multiple documents. Cosmetic, supeficial,<br> of course. But that's what people are looking for these days.<br>

Tip: Combine the Quote.. tool with the Close.. tool in order to write paragraphs or lists in HTML documents without having to bother with <p> and <li> tags while writing. Write all paragraphs first, each one on a separate line (you may use word wrap (hotkey Ctrl+W) to see paragraphs wrapped into several lines, since the word wrap does not affect tools). When done, select all the lines and use both Quote.. and Close.. tools to add the <p> and </p> tags (or <li> and </li> tags) to each line.

Example:
Great notepad! Tabs, you need tabs for multiple documents. Cosmetic, supeficial, of course. But that's what people are looking for these days.
Result, quoting with <li> and closing with </li>:
<li>Great notepad!</li> <li>Tabs, you need tabs for multiple documents. Cosmetic, supeficial,</li> <li>of course. But that's what people are looking for these days.</li>
