Clips are not regex. Clips can wrap themselves around existing selected text but it will not replace any existing tags. You can use clips to rapidly create hierarchies of empty tags, add attributes, etc. But converting existing tags is not one of them. Note: tags need not be limited to be line based so just highlighting a line is not generally sufficient.

It sounds like you would be much better off designing and using some saved searches that can use regex to capture and replace what you want when you want, quickly advancing to the next match.

You can easily apply saved searches from the saved search editor.
