Actually, no. The result is not, strictly speaking, well-formed. A
well-formed href attribute has no spaces around the "=" and has quotes
(single or double) around the URL. So, if you instead try this:
<a href="<?php createURL('myKeyword') ?>"> Lots of link text, image code,
etc. here </a>
it validates successfully. Of course, there will always be ways you can
trip up BBEdit's validation by inserting PHP code, but in this case there
is a workaround, which happens to produce HTML that is more valid anyway.
