Created attachment 156765 [details] screenshot of this feature Hi, It would be a very nice feature for both PHP and HTML files, to have an optional HLTML entity converion option. I have seen this feature in "Coda 2" editor. It is very simple, yet very powerful in terms of speeding your code completion. It goes like this. One example. You type: "Español" and select the text with doble click or simply drag your mouse pointer along the word of your choice. Once you select your text. Do a right click on the text and you get an option called "Process > Encode entities" and it is atomatically converted to: "Español" So, you can selet an entire phrase, but this feature will only take care of the chararcters that need to be processed in order to be correctly interpreted by the browser. I want to stress, this feature, would be very useful for BOTH, php and html projects. See attachment. Thanks.
