Theres a couple things I do... For items like an href that are pretty predictable, I have a stack file with a template that can be used with merge.
So I'd have <A HREF="[[tUrl]]">[[tUrl]]</a> in a property and merge that sucker in. (could use a description in a variable rather than a 2nd tUrl if you'd like put "http://www.google.com"; into tUrl put merge(the atag of stack "whatever") and voila, there it is. Alternatively, remember that you can open and close the lc tags at your convenience. So instead of jumping through hoops, you can close the lc tag ?> then put your reference <A HREF="http://www.google.com"; onmouseover="movepic('button','pic-off.gif')" onmouseout="movepic('button','pic-on.gif')"><IMG NAME="button" SRC="pic-off.gif" ALT="Image"></A> then open lc again with <?lc You should even be able to put tiny chunks of lc interspersed into your href by <?lc put "http://www.google.com"; ?> right inside the thing.
