Isn't gedit a graphical editor ?
Editing files in it should be pretty intuitive.

Or are you trying to modify the files from the command line ?

Guess you are indeed:

Code:
$ 
$ cat data.txt
<select name="RecPerPage" id="RecPerPage" onchange="this.form.submit();" class="phpmaker">
<option value="50">Select version</option>
</select>
$ 
$ sed 's/\(<option.*>\)/\1\n<option value="anything">Select version1<\/option>/' data.txt
<select name="RecPerPage" id="RecPerPage" onchange="this.form.submit();" class="phpmaker">
<option value="50">Select version</option>
<option value="anything">Select version1</option>
</select>
$

gedit

gedit(1)							   User Commands							  gedit(1)

NAME

       gnome-text-editor, gedit - Limited functionality text editor for the GNOME desktop.

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-text-editor [--debug [-section]] [gnome-std-options] [--help] [--new-document] [--new-window] [--quit] [filename]

       gedit [--debug [-section]] [gnome-std-options] [--help] [--new-document] [--new-window] [--quit] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       The  gnome-text-editor  application  is	a text editor for the GNOME desktop.  The application is also called gedit. You can use gedit as a
       shorter command to start the application. The application enables you to edit multiple documents at the same time. Each document resides in
       a specific tabbed section of the application window.

       When  you  start the application from the command line, you can specify one or more filenames. When gedit starts, the application opens all
       files that you list on the command line.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       --debug [-section]      Run gedit in debug mode. In debug mode all  the functions that are being called dump the function names to the con-
			       sole. You can specify the following sections for debugging:

				 o  window

				 o  commands

				 o  document

				 o  file

				 o  plugins

				 o  prefs

				 o  print

				 o  search

				 o  undo

				 o  view

				 o  recent

			       Run gedit --help for more information.

       gnome-std-options       Standard options available for use with most GNOME applications.  See gnome-std-options(5) for more information.

       --help		       Print the command line options.

       --new-document	       Create a new top-level document or tabbed section in an existing instance of gedit.

       --new-window		Create a new top-level window in an existing instance of gedit.

       --quit		       Quit an existing instance of gedit.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

       The  gedit  application	accepts  pipes, so you can specify a pipe after another command, to load the output of the command into gedit. For
       example:

       example% ls -l | gedit

       example% gedit --new-document book.txt

       Example 3: To Add a New Top-Level Window That Contains an ASCII File Named testfile.txt

       example% gedit --new-window testfile.txt

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Application exited successfully.

       >0	An error occurred.

FILES

       The following files are used by this application:

	    /usr/bin/gnome-text-editor
