Quote.. (Alt+Ctrl+Q)
Asks for a Quote phrase to work with and then quotes (i.e. indents) the selection with the specified phrase at the beginning of each line
.
Optionally, only non-empty lines
can be quoted, which ensures that empty lines
are not modified at all.
Optionally, the quoting phrase may be inserted just after all leading white-spaces
on each line. This way, any current line indentation is kept unmodified, and the quoting phrase is appended to that indentation, before the first graph
(i.e. non-white-space
) character.
Note: When quoting of empty lines
is allowed, and leading white-spaces
are to be skipped, special consequential case occurs. On empty lines
, quoting phrase is simply appended, because leading white-spaces
is all that those line contain.

Tip: If you are writting a list (or a table) in an HTML document, you may write all the lines of such a list first without having to bother with HTML tags. Then select all relevant lines, invoke the Quote.. tool (hotkey Alt+Ctrl+Q), and enter quoting phrase like <LI>.
