Hi Seamus, The intention I believe is to first select the portion of text you would like to be *wrapped* with the anchor tag before clicking the button in the HTML tools. <a>linked text</a>
Although BBEdit is great for editing HTML, I would recommend you do so alongside the developer tools of a modern browser. I personally enjoy using Firefox: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools Learning your way around these tools will help you learn how the HTML/CSS works in websites in the wild.
