Hi StackOverflow community!

Straight to the point! I currently have in PHPStorm...

<ul>
 Content
 Content
 Content
 Content
 Content
 Content
</ul>

Content obviously serving as a placeholder... At the moment im going through these lines individually implemented list tags on every line, which is extremely slow as I'm current created a heck load of lists!

Anybody got any sugguestions on how to speed up this process considerably?
Thanks guys!

Use Emmet (previously known as Zen Coding) for this.

Code | Surround with... | Emmet

enter image description here

If you have <ul> tags already created, just alter string a bit (i.e. li*). More details/documentation is available here: http://docs.emmet.io/abbreviations/syntax/

If you have enabled Emmet and prefer shortcuts you can:

  1. select text
  2. press 2x Shift
  3. type Surround and select Surround with Emmet
  4. in input type li* and press Enter
