My actual code has no spaces there. I guess I added them to the "faux code"
I used in the example here to make it look a little clearer. My mistake.

Of course. My PHP script was adding the quotes.

Not in my BBEdit, it doesn't. I commented out my code and copy/pasted in
your code instead. Then I invoked the code checker. It gave me this error
message:
Value of attribute “href” for element “<a>” is invalid; URL path needs
encoding (“%3C?php%20createURL('myKeyword')%20?%3E”).
I'm willing to make little changes like putting the quotation marks into
the original HTML instead of via the PHP, etc., but only if I can achieve
the goal of getting the BBEdit checker to validate the result.
