hi there - I'll keep it simple, here's what I'm trying to do: I'm converting a text doc to a HTML doc and I decide I want to enclose a paragraph in <p> tags (or whatever). so I manually select the paragraph and use my command-ctrl-. command and everything's beautiful. but wait I say to myself - I don't like having to take my fingers off the keyboard to select the paragraph... oh I'll just use TM's 'Select Paragraph' command (via recorded macro to assign keystroke). but it turns out it doesn't work the way I want it to: 'Select Paragraph' - and also 'Select Line' - both extend their selection past the last character out to an apparently 'infinite' margin... here is an example - I have this text:

and I select the first paragraph using the 'Select Paragraph' command and then use the Cmd-Ctrl-. shortcut to enclose in <h3> this is what I get:

notice that the </h3> tag is on the next line - obviously this is undesirable and it slows down my coding way too much to have to then manually take my cursor over and insert a return after the closing tag - so much that it is obviously not worth it.
so for the sake of my being able to write readable code how do I accomplish this?
thanks. bennett
