I was wondering if there is an easy way to put entire lumps of text in tags in Notepad++.

For example, say I have the following:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Is there a way how I can select the text in each line and then press a hotkey or something, and have all the text I just selected encased in a tag (such as a p tag)?

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</p>

CTRL-V
