ℹ️ About Add Prefix/Suffix Tool

Add Prefix/Suffix Tool is a text wrapping utility that prepends a chosen prefix and appends a chosen suffix to each selected unit of text. Use it to transform whole lines, whitespace-delimited words, or individual Unicode code points without manually editing every repeated item.

Practical use cases:

Add bullet markers, quote markers, comment markers, or indentation to every line in a pasted list.
Wrap words with quotes, brackets, delimiters, or placeholders before moving text into scripts, spreadsheets, or search queries.
Create repeated markup such as <li>Item</li>; for valid list markup, place list items inside a list container as defined by the HTML Standard.
Add paths, extensions, flags, SQL fragments, or command prefixes to copied filenames and identifiers.
Prepare sample data where each token needs the same surrounding text before testing an API, parser, or configuration file.

How the modes work:

Lines: splits on newline characters, applies the prefix and suffix to each line, and rejoins the output with the original line breaks.
Words: splits on whitespace runs, preserves the original spacing, and wraps each non-whitespace token; punctuation stays attached to the token it touches.
Characters: wraps each code point individually, which is useful for visual separators, debugging hidden transformations, or creating spaced character patterns.
Skip empty elements: leaves blank lines or empty word tokens unchanged when enabled, so paragraph spacing and intentional gaps remain intact.

Examples: add > before each line to make a quoted block; add [ and ] around words to produce [alpha] [beta]; add <li> and </li> around lines to turn a plain list into list-item markup.

Technical details: The tool performs deterministic string concatenation only; it does not parse HTML, validate shell syntax, or escape unsafe characters for you. If the result will be pasted into code, HTML, SQL, or a command line, review the generated text in that destination context.

Privacy note: Text is processed in your browser by the shared tool logic, so routine prefix and suffix edits do not require a page refresh or external conversion service.

API Usage Example:

POST /api/tools/text/add-prefix-suffix
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "text": "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3",
    "prefix": "•",
    "suffix": "",
    "targetType": "lines",
    "skipEmpty": true
}
