Hi all, i'm quite surprised i can't find a script to automatize the scripting itself. I'm not a pro-coder but i play with html and i would like a script helping me doing something like the following (i'll show some example).

I would like to highlight it, pressing a hotkey and having something like

or


I *guess* it can be done someway, but i don't have a clue


Any help would be really appreciated, as it could save me a lot of time. Thanks in advance

Raturns me


How can i avoid this?

I don't see the unwanted output on my test. It's possible a key is being held that shouldn't (Like control). However you can do a copy/replace formatting instead to make sure it works.
