Using jquery function wrap, we can create the div wrapper over p tag. But we expecting to create the wrap for group of p tags. So wrapAll function is the most useful function to do the task.

Example:

  <p>Lorem..</p>
  <p>Lorem..</p>
  <p>Lorem..</p>  

$('p').wrapAll('<div class="column"/>');

Result:

<div class="column"> 
  <p>Lorem..</p>
  <p>Lorem..</p>
  <p>Lorem..</p>   
</div>
