Hi,

I would like some key to a command. This is not difficult, but this
command should, once it is executed on some text, put `==' before the
text (on the line before) and `==' after the text (on the line after).

How could I do this?

Thanks.

How about this ?

(defun wrap-region-in-== (beg end)
  "Wrap lines contained in region with \"==\" marker.

Interactively, if region is not active, operate on prefix-arg
lines around point."
  (interactive
   (if (use-region-p)
       (list (region-beginning) (region-end))
     (let ((arg (prefix-numeric-value current-prefix-arg)))
       (save-excursion
         (if (< arg 0)
             (forward-line)
           (beginning-of-line))
         (sort (list (point) (progn (forward-line arg) (point)))
               '<)))))
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char beg)
    (beginning-of-line)
    (insert "==")
    (newline)
    (goto-char end)
    (or (bolp) (forward-line 1))
    (insert "==")
    (newline)))

Nice. I bound it to the F12 key, but I then encounter

`if: Symbol's function definition is void: use-region-p' in the
minibuffer. Why? Thanks.

Because it's a Emacs23 function and you are using Version 22.

The best would be to replace `use-region-p' with a call to this function
or simply inline it.

(defun region-active-p ()
  "Return t if Transient Mark mode is enabled and the mark is active."
  (and transient-mark-mode mark-active))

Thanks. Sorry, I am a real beginner in this. It now works prettily. Thanks!

Are you editing wikipedia (or other mediawiki) pages?
There's a wikipedia-mode
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia-mode.el

However, it seems to have been obsoleted, check the page for the replacment

(define-skeleton my-==-command "Insert == before and after the region"
  nil
  "--" _ "--")

Then you can call that command with M-x my-==-command RET
You'll probably want to bind it via define-key in some mode.
