How to quote region into HTML tags?

How to quote region into HTML tags?

[wang yin]

Hi,

I want to quote some text in a region into HTML tags.

for example, I want to change

here is some text

into

<H3>here is some text</H3>

How can I do this with HTML mode?
I'm using GNU Emacs.

Thanks.

It works if you turn on transient mark mode, `M-x transient-mark-mode'.
Then the region will be highlighted, and inserted in the tag when you
use one of HTML mode shortcuts, say, `C-c 3' for <h3>.

Or even with transient mark mode off, mark the region then `C-u C-c 3'.

Oops, that's because I had point at the beginning of the region and it had

exactly 4 words.  With transient mode off, you have to move point to the
beginning of the text, and specify the number of words to enclose, e.g.
`M-7 C-c 3' or `C-u 7 C-c 3' or `ESC 7 C-c 3'.

Assuming that you use PSGML you can mark the region (using C-spc and
cursor keys) and then type C-c C-r (sgml-tag-region) which asks you
for the tag to use (with completion) and then puts the region in that
tag. I might be that this requires a correct DTD in your document, I
don't know.

Besides the transient mark mentioned in other postings you could also
set sgml-tag-region-if-active to t. Maybe look at info psgml ->Insert
markup where this is all described.

Without a correct DTD PSML will reject all choices.
