Using vim for html decoration

Do you have any preferred methodology for managing html formatting tags in vim?

The best I've come up with is creating some macros to insert tags at the current cursor position - ctrl-i for <i>, ctrl-j for </i>, etc.

It would be handy to be able to, say 2w{something} to italicize 2 words, for instance, without needing to navigate the cursor to the end point. The best option I can think of would let me use the same keystrokes I use to so flexibly delete a string of text that might be word count, regex match, etc. but would insert both opening and closing tags.

I use Christian Robinson's HTML macros when I have to traffic in raw HTML.

Generally, I prefer to use reStructuredText and generate HTML.

Give a look to the surround.vim plugin.
