You should take a look at Zen Coding. It lets you wrap selected text with HTML tags and other code. I wrote the BBEdit/TextWrangler version of it. I created additional snippets for PHP for my setup and is easy to add to. It's very similar to Clippings, but can give you different behaviors as well, which may be beneficial to what you're trying to do, and allows you to incorporate the Clipping syntax.
