By Xah Lee. Date: . Last updated: .

Here's a command to wrap a ā€œpā€ tag around current text block or selection.

(defun xah-html-blocks-to-paragraph ()
  "Add p tag to current block or selection.
If there is a selection, wrap p around each block.
After this command is called, press `xah-repeat-key' to repeat it.
