What the Keyword Formatter does

The Keyword Formatter wraps every entry in a consistent pattern — quotes, brackets, bullet characters, dashes, or any custom template containing a {kw} placeholder.

How it works

Each entry is passed through the chosen wrapper. The custom template substitutes every occurrence of {kw}, so you can build list items, array entries or markup fragments.

  1. 1Paste your keyword list.
  2. 2Choose a preset format or select custom.
  3. 3For custom, write a template containing {kw}.
  4. 4Generate the formatted lines.
  5. 5Copy directly into your document or code.

Worked example

With the custom template '<li>{kw}</li>', 'yoga' becomes '<li>yoga</li>'.

Who uses it

  • Preparing quoted phrase-match keyword lists
  • Building HTML list markup quickly
  • Producing bulleted lists for a slide deck
  • Wrapping terms for a config or array

Best practices

  • Include {kw} in custom templates or the keyword is appended instead.
  • Format last, after cleaning and sorting.
  • Escape carefully when the output goes into code.
  • Keep one format per export for consistency.

Honest limitations

The formatter does not escape special characters for you; check output before pasting it into markup or code.
