Emmet: How to Wrap Using Multiple Tags


I'm trying to wrap bunch of data with following tags.

For an example:

link1
link2
link3
link4
link5

I want each one of them to be wrapped with following tags.

<url>
<loc>link1</loc>
<lastmod>2020-01-16T22:59:45+00:00</lastmod>
<priority>0.80</priority>
</url>

<url>
<loc>link2</loc>
<lastmod>2020-01-16T22:59:45+00:00</lastmod>
<priority>0.80</priority>
</url>
....

I want to know if this is possible to do using Emmet code. Any help would be appreciated.


Solution

  • Another alternative is to use regular snippets. This is for vscode:

    "link snippet": {
      "prefix": "link",
      "body": [
        "<url>"
        "<loc>$TM_SELECTED_TEXT</loc>",
    
        "<lastmod>2020-01-16T22:59:45+00:00</lastmod>",  // if date is fixed ahead of time
    
           // use below if date is dynamic at creation time
         "<lastmod>${CURRENT_YEAR}-${CURRENT_MONTH}-${CURRENT_DATE}T${CURRENT_HOUR}:${CURRENT_MINUTE}:${CURRENT_SECOND}+00:00</lastmod>"
    
        "<priority>0.80</priority>",
        "</url>",
        ""
      ],
      "description": "Wrap link with url, etc."
    },
    

    Then, because you will need to chain 3 commands together to make this easy, use a macro extension like multi-command. Pu this into your settings.json:

      "multiCommand.commands": [
    
        {
          "command": "multiCommand.expandLink",
          "sequence": [
            "editor.action.insertCursorAtEndOfEachLineSelected",
            "cursorHomeSelect",
            {
              "command": "editor.action.insertSnippet",
              "args": {
                "name": "link snippet",
              }
            },
          ]
        }
      ]
    

    That will trigger the snippet after it selects each of your lines separately. To trigger the macro itself you need a keybinding (in keybindings.json):

    { 
      "key": "shift+alt+l",
      "command": "extension.multiCommand.execute",
      "args": { "command": "multiCommand.expandLink" },
    },
    

    A fair amount of setup, but then it is just the one keybinding to trigger it all. Demo:
