ok thx carl!
i did it that way.

inspired by your above comment, i gave this a shot - figured i'd better start
learning elisp. :D
i don't know much about interactive etc, but i found the ref manual and
the gnu tutorial.
here's what i got and it does work (though i don't know if it is a good
way or not):
;; region wrapping with tag functions
(defun tag-enclose (tag)
"encloses region with inputted tag"
(interactive "sTag: ")
(wrap-with-tags))
(defun wrap-with-tags ()
"builds html tags from tag then wraps region"
(interactive)
(let* ((begend (region-parameters))
(beg (car begend))
(end (cadr begend))
(tagbeg (format "<%s>" tag))
(tagend (format "</%s>" tag)))
(goto-char end)
(insert tagend)
(goto-char beg)
(insert tagbeg)))
(defun region-parameters ()
"gets region beg and end"
(interactive)
(list (region-beginning) (region-end)))
i didn't do your swap idea because i haven't found that function yet.
however, i realized that i had to put the end tag on first, because as
soon as i do the beg tag, the positions all shift forward and my end
position isn't what it is supposed to be anymore. :D
