Add Symbols Around Words
Wrap each word with custom opening and closing symbols.
Configuration
Word-Level Wrapping: Quotes, Placeholders & Templates
In technical documentation, email templates, and code examples, wrapping entire words creates functional formatting. Template placeholders like <username> and <email> clearly indicate variable positions. Variable tags like {name} and {age} enable dynamic content. Quoted word lists like "important" "critical" "urgent" emphasize key terms. Unlike letter-by-letter wrapping (which creates decorative effects), word wrapping serves practical purposes—marking placeholders, creating templates, quoting terms, or formatting technical content.
The Add Symbols Around Words tool automates word-level wrapping. Choose from 6 preset wrappers (brackets, parentheses, quotes, angles, curly braces, single quotes) or define custom opening/closing symbols. Advanced filtering lets you skip short words (articles, prepositions) while wrapping important terms—perfect for selective emphasis. Whether creating template systems, formatting documentation, generating placeholder lists, or adding structured markers to technical writing, the tool processes entire documents instantly while preserving all formatting—completely private in your browser.
Why Wrap Words with Symbols?
- ✓Template Creation: Generate email templates, form placeholders, or documentation with variables like <username>, <date>, {email}, {phone} for dynamic content systems.
- ✓Technical Documentation: Format function names [getData], variables [userName], or code examples with brackets for clear technical writing and API documentation.
- ✓Quoted Word Lists: Create emphasis with quotes around key terms ("critical" "urgent" "important") for highlighted vocabulary, studied terms, or emphasized concepts.
- ✓Structured Formatting: Add consistent markers to word lists for parsing, create data formats, or prepare text for automated processing with uniform wrapping.
Common Use Cases
Email & Form Templates
Create email templates with <name> <company> placeholders, form instructions with {email} {phone} variables, or merge field documents where words become dynamic content markers.
Technical Documentation
Format API documentation with [function] [parameter] brackets, wrap code identifiers, create structured technical examples, or mark variables in programming tutorials and guides.
Quoted Vocabulary
Create study materials with quoted key terms, prepare vocabulary lists with "word" emphasis, format important concepts, or highlight critical terminology for educational content.
Data Formatting
Prepare word lists for CSV export with uniform wrapping, create structured data formats, format text for parsing scripts, or add consistent markers for automated text processing.
