How do I wrap a selection with an HTML tag in Visual Studio?

Question

This seems like the most basic question in the world, but damned if I can find an answer.

Is there a keyboard shortcut, either native to Visual Studio or through Cod

I know this is an ancient thread but having come up against the issue I finally got round to making my own and as this is one of the first results in Google I figured people might find this useful.

Actually it was pretty easy, I just copied from an existing HTML snippet and moved around the literals. The following snippet will surround with a generic HTML tag, it prompts for the tag and will put it in both the opening and closing tags.
