Action
Insert Highlight
Wrap the current selection in highlight markers. There are two “modes” for this, controlled by the template definition steps.
By default, the WRAP tag is enabled, and double equality symbols will be applied to the selection for simple highlighting - e.g. “==selection==”.
If you wish to apply full critic markup, then disable the WRAP tag, and enable the PREFIX and SUFFIX custom template tags in the action steps. This will work as for WRAP, but include the additional braces - e.g. “{==selection==}”
If no selection has been made, the cursor will be positioned between the markers. If a selection has been made, the cursor will be placed after the selection and the suffix.
If the text is already wrapped in the highlight markers, and you select the text or the text and highlight markers, running this action will strip the markers leaving just the unhighlighted text, with the cursor positioned after the text.
