Wrap tag contents

Pressing Preview opens the Refactoring preview window displaying all found usages of the tags to be wrapped. In this window you can exclude/include usages you want to refactor.

Pressing Show XSLT... opens the XSLT preview window displaying a small fragment of XSLT equivalent to the refactoring requested. This fragment can be used by XSLT processors to perform the requested refactoring on files external to your WebStorm project.

The preview window may appear anyway if the files that you want to change are read-only.

1. In the editor, place the caret within the tag whose contents you want to wrap.

2. Select Refactor | XML Refactorings | Wrap Tag Contents from the main or the context menu.

   

3. Determine the name of the new tags which will wrap the contents of the selected tags.

4. Determine the scope of the wrapping. All tags matching name of the tag selected will be wrapped if they are in the selected scope. Scopes available include the current file, the entire project, or a specified directory or module. Directory scopes can either include sub-directories, or not, based on whether the Recursively checkbox is selected. If the Limit to files with DTD:... checkbox is selected, the scope will be limited to those files with the same DOCTYPE as the current file.

5. Click Preview button to make WebStorm to search for usages of the selected tag Find window.

6. Click OK to continue. If you do not select the Preview option, all usages will be changed immediately.
