The BBEdit tag editor is designed to let you edit tag _attributes_ not
tag _contents_.
The problem with editing _contents_ through the tag editor is that the
contents of an <A> tag can include _almost any HTML element_, not just
text.
So how could the tag editor handle this? It’d have to have a nested
BBEdit text window, with all markup features included, wouldn’t it?
And inside that? Where would it end?
Hope this helps.

This is a follow-up to my previous post wherein I've been trying to
get
BBEdit to create a simple hypertext link.
Here's the dialog box as I've completed it:
<https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RPJMeIR8L44/WuuLNq456zI/AAAAAAAAAao/1eWU81CK3nYb48FC-NcR8gaKByY1L6BNACLcBGAs/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-05-03%2Bat%2B9.06.23%2BPM.png>
And here's the HTML that created:
<a href="https://www.keysight.com/main/techSupport.jspx"; name="name"
title="title" target="target" id="id" class="class"></a>
So: what is the text called that falls between the "><" arrows - the
text
that appears as the hyperlink in an HTML page? Apparently it's not
any of
the choices listed in the dialog... was that part omitted?
It doesn't have an option for that. That is why it puts the cursor
there
when you create it that way. That might be a good feature enhancement
though. They could call it "value" or something.
