wrap

wrap is a utility for wrapping text in a fenced code block (adaptive to input content) or <paste> tags:

1. Wrap from stdin to stdout
   wrap [md|xml]

   • If format is md (default), fences the content with backticks.
     • If the longest run of backticks in the content is ≥ 3, the fence is (longest + 2) backticks.
     • otherwise, uses 3 backticks.
   • If xml, wraps content in <paste> ... </paste>.

2. Wrap clipboard content, then paste
   wrap paste [md|xml]

   • Reads the current clipboard text.
   • Checks if the text is already wrapped in <paste>...</paste> or in backticks, depending on the format.
   • If already wrapped, it simply simulates a "paste" keystroke (ctrl+shift+v on linux, cmd+v on macOS).
   • Otherwise:
     1. Wraps clipboard text
     2. Updates clipboard with wrapped text
     3. Simulates a "paste" keystroke after a delay

Dependencies

• Linux
  • ydotool is required for simulating Ctrl+Shift+V.

Usage

wrap from stdin -> stdout:

echo "some text" | ./wrap md  # defaults to md if no format is specified
echo "some text" | ./wrap xml

wrap & paste:

wrap paste md  # wraps clipboard content in a code block, then emits ctrl+shift+v / cmd+v
wrap paste xml

compatible with macOS + Linux (X11/Wayland).
