XML Spy allows you to select a chunk of text, and then select "b" from the list of tags, to enclose that text in a new <b>...</b> element. What I would really like to do is select the text and then type CTRL/B or click a button on the toolbar. Perhaps that's achievable, but if so I haven't discovered how. To be honest, I don't usually use an XML editor at all, because I find they are good on XML-related features and weak on all the other things you want from an editor: for example XML Spy (the version I'm using) doesn't display line numbers, and it doesn't do find-and-replace over multiple documents. But the tools are slowly getting better... Perhaps I should give XML Origin a whirl. Mike Kay
