[TxMt] Re: selection question

well - yes, that does work - but it's not the effect I want... I like to have my closing tags on the same line etc. 
plus if there is an indent at the beginning of the paragraph then it ends up creating space 
example:

	Now is the time for all good men. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean odio nibh, euismod a, lobortis in, laoreet eu, eros. Praesent lorem risus, commodo sit amet, viverra in, sagittis nec, justo.

ends up becoming:

<p>	 Now is the time for all good men. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean odio nibh, euismod a, lobortis in, laoreet eu, eros. Praesent lorem risus, commodo sit amet, viverra in, sagittis nec, justo.
</p>	

with the spaces in the beginning...  and yes - I could go through and shift everything left etc but when I'm working with large text files it helps to be able to see where the paragraphs are etc etc.

also and this is even more of a pain - if I have the cursor in the closing tag and then try to 'Select Paragraph' I find that I can only select the closing tag itself - because it has enclosed a return inside the tags - at least I think that's why... 

anyway - even if for just cosmetic reasons I'd still like there to be a way to select just to the first and last character of a paragraph... anyone out there handy with Ruby/PHP/Source want to make me a Command or Macro?

cheers,
bennett
