Hello everybody,
I think I have a problem that requires a function. Here it is. Let's
say I have the word "house". If I put the cursor under the letter "u",
I would like to get:
<span class="latin a3">house</span>.
It's 3 because I "u" is letter #3 in that word. On top of that, if I
again, put the cursor under letter "s" and press another combination,
I want to get:
<span class="latin a3 s4">house</span>.
If I again put the cursor under "e", I should get <span class="latin
a3 s4 s5">house</span>.
In other words those html classes should accumulate and they should be
either aX or sX depending on the key combination. The X is however is
always the letter number.
I'm already using the surround plugin but it's not enough. I've never
programmed in vi and he's what I attempted today:
" Marker is either "a" or "s"
function! my(marker)
let l:saveB = @b
" Mark the current column
let l:beginning_column=col('.')
" Put the character to the left into register b.
exe 'normal h'
exe 'normal v"by'
let l:myB = @b
exe 'normal l'
" If the character to the left was a "word" (i.e. character), then
move to
" the beginning of the word, otherwise we are already at the
beginning of the
" word
if l:myB =~ '\w'
exe 'normal b'
endif
" Get the difference between the positions. That would be the X I
talked about.
let l:diff = l:beginning_column - col('.') + 1
" Now look to the left of the beginning of the word
exe 'normal h'
exe 'normal v"by'
let l:myB = @b
exe 'normal l'
" If it's an angle bracket, we'll assume that we already have a span
tag. If not, surround the word with the tag and
" the attribute "latin" and move back to the end of the tag.
if l:myB != '>'
exe 'normal ves<span class="latin">'
normal f>
endif
" And here is where I have the problem. I need to do a replacement of
the form:
:s/<span class="(.\{-})">/<span class="\1 " + marker + l:diff/ and
only for the tag to the left of the word.
endfunction
Ideas? Would greatly appreciate any insight.
Sergei
P.S.: I can't figure out how to turn off Visual mode once I entered it
with: "exe 'normal v'".
