When I used to have KDE 3.5 I could select text type some control key (can't remember which) and I would be prompted to enter an HTML tag. When finished it would put the tag in front of the selected text and a closing tag at the end of the text.

I can't find how to do that since upgrading to KDE 4.

(I'm using Kate 3.4.2 and KDE 4.4.2)

It is not in KDE 4.4, but will be back in KDE 4.5, see the Dokumentation:

Hello,

I have KDE 4.5.1 and I do not have this plugin. It was really useful so I am missing it.

Is there any way to get this plugin back? Perhaps it is possible to install older version of Kate, or something?

I would be very grateful for your help in getting that plugin work in Kate.

Kate in trunk appears to have the "xmltools" plugin, perhaps you need to install a distribution package which is seperate to Kate itself.

Do you perhaps know where I can find such package?

You should be able to find it in the package manager.

Under what name?
Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but I am not an experienced Linux user. All I know is that I had HTML plugin in KDE 3.5 by default, and in KDE 4.5.1 I do not have it.

I would suggest doing an initial search for "kate" and seeing if anything like kate-plugins-* exists.

I opened synaptic and searched for "kate".
There is kate-plugins package (which I may have manually installed from a file downloaded from Internet), but it is version 3.5.9-2.

So I repeat my question - how can I obtain HTML Plugin for Kate in KDE 4.5?

I would suggest contacting your distribution for this information. Another thing to look for could be "kwrite_*" in synaptic however.

I downloaded ISO from here http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download and installed it with a help of a friend, so who should I contact?

I'll try that.

I suggest the Kubuntu or Ubuntu forums as a method of contacting them.

In kubuntu Maverick it is in the package kate (4:4.5.1-0ubuntu3), you have to enable the pligin in kate's settings.

thank you... it was driving me crazy. i thought i looked at everything. guess not.
