but what if a paragraph has more then one line. you have to detect the beginning of a new paragraph and then insert a '<p> ' before the first line of text. > A two-liner is > %s/^/<p>/ - add <p> to the start of each line > %s/^<p>$// - remove any lines that contain only <p> nope won't work. it'll put a '<p> ' at the beginning of every line which has text in it. thus this: one lineladf aflkasd flaskdjf alskdfj alskdfja lskdjf alskdjf alsdkfj lasdkfj alkjdfalskjdf laskdfj laskdjf laksdjf alksjf ald lkadjflaksdjf laklj and the end of aldkfja ladkfj alksdjf oqieruoqiewjrlkdmflk adlf ladfj ladkf alkdjf lakd flaksdj flaksdfj. will become this: <p>one lineladf aflkasd flaskdjf alskdfj alskdfja lskdjf alskdjf alsdkfj <p>lasdkfj alkjdfalskjdf laskdfj laskdjf laksdjf alksjf ald lkadjflaksdjf <p>laklj and the end of aldkfja ladkfj alksdjf oqieruoqiewjrlkdmflk adlf <p>ladfj ladkf alkdjf lakd flaksdj flaksdfj. adam.
