If there is no selection and you activate Surround With, the current line or code block will be automatically highlighted for surrounding (the same function performed by the select_code_block command).

Modifying Surround With Templates

Surround With templates are created and modified the same way as other aliases, with the addition of the %\m sur_text% escape sequence. This sequence indicates where the selected text should be placed, and can be used multiple times within a single Surround With template. See Surround With Commands for more information on sur_text.

To view or modify the Surround With templates, use the surround_with command to display the Sur- round With dialog, then click the Customize button. This will display the Alias Editor dialog with the Sur- round With option selected. The list of Surround With structures for the chosen language is shown in the list box on the left.
