If you google "vim surround plugin" there are a few web videos showing how it works, so I won't bother saying too much. Basically you can place the cursor somewhere and do stuff like "yss<p>" and the line is wrapped with <p> </p>. There is a visual block mode. You highlight a block, hit capital S, type the tag (eg, <div class="main">) and the block is wrapped.
