Script Summary: Adds buttons to insert html tags and converts to escape characters where necessary.

This script works when adding a new comment to a script, post to the forum and the description field in script metadata.

Inserting Tags

Simply select the text to put tags around then click the appropriate tag.
Some tags have keyboard shortcuts to find them out see the tool tips
Note: It returns focus to the text box so you can just keep typing.
This is not a comprehensive list of tags as there are too many, these are just the tags I find most useful. For a full list of tags see this tread. If you want to change the tags included the list is at the top of the the script.

Converting To escape Characters

eg < to &lt;
To convert to escape characters type as usual then either click escape: all to convert the whole text or selection to only convert the current selection.
