Question on using emacs to write html

[Jeff]

I've been programming so long using emacs that other key bindings drive me
crazy. Lately I've been writing html using emacs because bluefish uses the
Microsoft bindings. Is there a way to bind keys to the insertion of common
toggle pairs, like <center></center>, <table></table>, <td></td>, <a
href=""></a>, and so on? Is there a way to have this work only in an 'html
mode'?

Just wondering.
