// This nifty macro comes from John Hurst's book, Professional Slickedit,
// published by Wrox, a subsidiary of Wiley Publishing (Indianapolis),
// 2008, paperback, 472 pages. List price $49.99. The Slickedit macro code

// make_anchor creates an HTML anchor tag around the selected text.
// For example: if the selected text is "www.wrox.com", highlighting
// "www.wrox.com" and then executing make_anchor will produce the following:

<a href="http://www.wrox.com" www.wrox.com<a>

// This would, of course, be rendered to the user as the hyperlink
// www.wrox.com.

// Some editing software and blog editing programs
// nowadays incorporate similar functionality,
// but if you're editing plain text files in Slickedit, this macro could be
// a time saver.
