How you do it will depend on where your line-breaks are. If your file reads
<tr>1</tr>
<tr>2</tr>
<tr>3</tr>
<tr>4</tr>
<tr>5</tr>
then it is simple. Just write the following little routine, select
the lines in the document you want to reverse and run the script.
#UNIX SCRIPT:
while (<>) {
chomp;
push @_, $_
}
for (reverse @_){
next if /^$/; # ignore blank lines
print "$_\n";
};
Run the above script from the palette or with a key-shortcut to get:
<tr>5</tr>
<tr>4</tr>
<tr>3</tr>
<tr>2</tr>
<tr>1</tr>
