I have a document with many paragraphs. I define a paragraph as
[newline]text consisting of one or more sentences[newline]
I want to convert the paragraphs to have <p> at the beginning and </p> at the end. To begin with I’ve tried to search for paragraphs, using regular expression search, with the following search term:
^*$
When I click Find, search doesn’t find anything. What am I doing wrong?
@jfcherng Thanks. Your search string works. I have a follow-up question. How can I do a search and replace where the original paragraph is retained, but paragraph tags are placed at the beginning and end? In other words,
abcdefg
is converted to
<p>abcdefg</p>
<p>$0</p>
You should be also interested in regex capture group. (not sublime-text-related)
$0 = the whole matched string
$1 = the 1st captured group
$2 = the 2nd captured group
… etc
maybe https://regexone.com/lesson/capturing_groups. the concept is really simple.
