Hi again Aidan Sorry I missed the second part of your question. To start off, that is an excellent idea you put forward. I simply used to switch to text type when I need multiple line breaks, for sake of sheer laziness. What you propose is the solution, now I see it.
I can see where you went wrong. The wrap-lines function in TW-5 is a
misnomer. It actually wraps the entire selection, and adds the prefix and
suffix only once to the selection. Here is the difference between wrap-line
and wrap-selection function in TW5.
Wrap-selection:: If you select a part of a line(for eg: a couple of lines
in a sentence), wrap selection will add suffix and prefix to those few
words only. This is used in toolbar buttons like bold, italics etc
Wrap-lines:: Even if you select a part of a line, it will wrap the entire
line/lines and add suffix and prefix to the whole selection. That is to
say, you cannot end selection in the middle of a line when you are using
this function. This is used in quote-blocks and code-blocks.
In short, wrap-lines is not wrap-each-line, but wrap-all-lines-once.
Now since I want the functionality you proposed, I put together a plugin to
do exactly what you want. It is a new text-edit-operation called
suffix-lines. It is similar to prefix-lines, but adds suffix. If you have
multiple lines in your selection, suffix will be added to each of those
lines. Similar to prefix-lines, it also has a "count" parameter. So if you
set the count as 2 or more, it will duplicate the suffix characters that
many times.
For example, here is the text for editor toolbar button that will add 2
linebreaks at the end of each lines in selection.
<$action-sendmessage
$message="tm-edit-text-operation"
$param="suffix-lines"
character="<br/>"
count="2"
/>
There is one functionality I left out in comparison to prefix-lines. Prefix
lines will remove the prefix character if it is already present in the
selection. It is convienient to have it, but I hardly ever use it, so I
have not bothered.
I am attaching the plugin along with a couple of other tiddlers which will
actually add the editor toolbar button to add line-breaks. The toolbar
button is not a part of plugin. The plugin only provides suffix-lines.js
which you may use in any number of editor toolbar buttons.
sincerely
Riz
