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.
