   Is it as simple as the ELisp script I referenced? Remember, that   
   integrates into the editor, so it is just a few keystrokes away.

   Each programming language has its own syntax rules. Then you have other   
   formats like Markdown, groff, HTML (as mentioned), XML, JSON, .ini files   
   commonly used for config purposes ... I suspect I probably have to deal   
   with about a dozen different formats, at least on an occasional basis.   
      
   I don’t want to have to run a dozen different editors for that.
