Is that what you meant? Where 'Click here for a surprise' is the text you see and 'insert-link-here' is the link you go to.



Open angle bracket, 'a', space, href, equals sign, open-double-quotes, url/link, close-double-quotes, close angle bracket, type what you want people to see, open angle bracket, forward slash, 'a', close angle bracket.
