Why Use This Tool?
Turning a column of values into a SQL IN clause, quoting CSV fields, adding list markers, wrapping lines in HTML tags — they're all the same operation: prefix and suffix on every line. This tool does it in one pass with live preview.
The skip-empty-lines option keeps your blank separators blank, so formatted documents don't get polluted with markers on empty rows.
How It Works
- Paste your lines.
- Type the prefix, the suffix, or both.
- Copy the wrapped result.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add text to the beginning of every line?
Enter it in the prefix field and click apply — every non-empty line gets the text prepended, with spacing exactly as you typed it.
Can I add both a prefix and a suffix at once?
Yes — both fields work together, which is how you wrap lines in quotes, brackets, or HTML tags in one pass.
Why do empty lines stay empty?
The skip-empty option protects your document structure: blank separator lines stay blank instead of collecting stray prefixes.
Tips & Things to Watch
- Quoting each line ('...') is the fastest way to prep lists for SQL or JSON.
- Use ' - ' as a prefix to turn any list into markdown bullets.
- Uncheck skip-empty only when every line genuinely needs the wrapper.
