# surround.vim
Surround.vim is all about "surroundings": parentheses, brackets, quotes,
XML tags, and more. The plugin provides mappings to easily delete,
change and add such surroundings in pairs.
It's easiest to explain with examples. Press `cs"'` inside
"Hello world!"
to change it to
'Hello world!'
Now press `cs'<q>` to change it to
<q>Hello world!</q>
To go full circle, press `cst"` to get
"Hello world!"
To remove the delimiters entirely, press `ds"`.
Hello world!
Now with the cursor on "Hello", press `ysiw]` (`iw` is a text object).
[Hello] world!
Let's make that braces and add some space (use `}` instead of `{` for no
space): `cs]{`
{ Hello } world!
Now wrap the entire line in parentheses with `yssb` or `yss)`.
({ Hello } world!)
Revert to the original text: `ds{ds)`
Hello world!
Emphasize hello: `ysiw<em>`
<em>Hello</em> world!
Finally, let's try out visual mode. Press a capital V (for linewise
visual mode) followed by `S<p class="important">`.
<p class="important">
<em>Hello</em> world!
</p>
This plugin is very powerful for HTML and XML editing, a niche which
currently seems underfilled in Vim land. (As opposed to HTML/XML
*inserting*, for which many plugins are available). Adding, changing,
and removing pairs of tags simultaneously is a breeze.
The `.` command will work with `ds`, `cs`, and `yss` if you install
[repeat.vim](https://github.com/tpope/vim-repeat).
## Installation
Install using your favorite package manager, or use Vim's built-in package
support:
mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/tpope/start
cd ~/.vim/pack/tpope/start
git clone https://tpope.io/vim/surround.git
vim -u NONE -c "helptags surround/doc" -c q
## FAQ
> How do I surround without adding a space?
Only the opening brackets—`[`, `{`, and `(`—add a space. Use a closing
bracket, or the `b` (`(`) and `B` (`{`) aliases.
