JEdit Macro for XML/HTML Special Character Conversion
One of the common requirement I face often when posting text to blog/forum/Wiki etc. is character conversion:
| & | & |
| < | < |
| > | > |
| " | " |
| ' | ' |
I developed a small JEdit Macro for doing this. This macro can be executed from JEdit menu Macros > Run Other Macro..., or can be installed by copying to: ${user.home}/.jedit/macros/ (later executed from the menu Macros). This macro operates on selected text.
