# Description
Hi, there’s a bug with details-plugin: when selecting a big chunk of text separated in paragraphs, clicking the Hide Details -button causes the `[details...]` to be prefixed to each separate paragraph, not just the beginning (and end) of the selection.
The same bug applies to spoiler-plugin.
# Location of bug
As far as I know, the problem is here (no idea how to fix):
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/plugins/discourse-details/assets/javascripts/initializers/apply-details.js.es6#L14-L22](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/plugins/discourse-details/assets/javascripts/initializers/apply-details.js.es6#L14-L22)
So likely the culprit is `applySurround` and how it functions…
# Reproduction
1. Write several lines of text (separate with linebreak)
2. Choose all the lines.
3. Click Hide Details.
4. PROFIT
# Result
> **Summary**
>
> Lines with text
> **Summary**
>
> Lines with text
> **Summary**
>
> Lines with text
> **Summary**
>
> Lines with text
> **Summary**

> Lines with text
```
[details=Summary]Lines with text[/details]
[details=Summary]Lines with text[/details]
[details=Summary]Lines with text[/details]
[details=Summary]Lines with text[/details]
[details=Summary]Lines with text[/details]
```
# Should result in:
[details=Summary]Lines with text
Lines with text
Lines with text
Lines with text
Lines with text[/details]
```
[details=Summary]Lines with text
Lines with text
Lines with text
Lines with text
Lines with text[/details]
```

For reference, this is the markdown that selecting multiple lines and clicking hide details generates.
```plaintext
[details=Summary]Lines with text[/details]
[details=Summary]Lines with text[/details]
[details=Summary]Lines with text[/details]
[details=Summary]Lines with text[/details]
[details=Summary]Lines with text[/details]
```
