Surround selection with string (Surround.bsh v1)
Submitted by vdichev on Monday, 29 October, 2007 - 11:31

This script is designed to help with inline markup of strings for reStructuredText, AsciiDoc, txt2tags, or other similar Lightweight markup languages. Of course, you can use it on *any* plain text where you want to convey extra meaning to the contents.

Similarly to the XML plugin, it can surround multiple selections with the string requested by the user (by default, an asterisk- "*"). To be accepted as valid markup, though, the string must be at the start or end of the word, so the macro inserts the string at the closest word boundary without shrinking the selection. The selection is preserved, making it easier to apply another markup command afterwards.

Unlike the Add_Prefix_and_Suffix.bsh macro, this one operates on selections, not selected lines.
