So that's why I couldn't post a reply, you had just deleted your post! Here is what I was replying:
Hi springer, 1. I don't know if I updated the teaser version, but in the main file I am tinkering with, selecting text and clicking the ted button does wrap the text. 2. I literally just posted a question about having ted (which I am planning to call Subsume) be another option the excise button dropdown. Then saw your post. 3. I agree that is cleaner in EDIT to have it be double angle brackets. But that forces double spacing, and I think it is much cleaner and flexible in VIEW mode to allow users to have them singlespaced. And I doubt Jeremy would allow tweaking to macros to eliminate the <p> that is the culprit here. It would not be backwards compatible and could cause all kinds of problems. I could have a second button to render it as double angle brackets , I suppose. You CAN currently invoke it with double angle brackets by typing it.
