Text => Increase Quote Level will probably do what you need.

Clipping selection with multiple lines - add markdown quote?

[Craig Heilman]

I’m trying to configure a clipping to add the markdown quote “> “ to the 
selection whether the selection is a single line or multiple lines.

Examples:

Single line selection

becomes

> Single line selection

Selection line 1
Selection line 2
Selection line 3

becomes

> Selection line 1
> Selection line 2
> Selection line 3

Is this possible with a clipping or do I need to use something like 
Prefix/Suffix Lines instead?

Thanks,

Craig

Re: Working example of #SCRIPT# place holder in clipping

[jj]

Hi Gari,

Use this script for a 90 characters line width:

*tell* *application* "BBEdit"

*set* vCount *to* 91 - (startColumn *of* selection)

*set* vTxt *to* ""

*if* vCount > 0 *then*

*repeat* vCount *times*

*set* vTxt *to* vTxt & "*"

*end* *repeat*

*end* *if*

*return* vTxt

*end* *tell*



name it *line-of-asterisk.scpt* and place it in the *same folder* as the 
clipping.

And use this clipping with just the filename:

#SCRIPT line-of-asterisk.scpt#

See BBEdit 15.1 manual p. 336.
