Nick, The technique which you describe is for use in web pages and hence the links will only show up if displayed in a web page; during the conversion process to HTML Legacy converts the double-chevrons (which are the symbols you are talking about) to the HTML format. So, if you are thinking that the links can be made "alive†within the Legacy program then I have to disappoint you.
Normally, as Larry said, the web page would not be the Source but the Repository from which you obtained the Source Details. However the key-board generators for the chevrons are Alt+174 and Alt+175 (use the number pad) – « ». The full syntax for the URL of my website would be «a href=â€http://fergys.co.uk/â€Â» My website«/a», but don’t expect this to work from this post - the one below will!

The Help talks about the 2 special characters to enter before & after the address but, when I do, the address doesn't turn "blue" or the cursor become a hand, so I don't think I'm doing it correctly. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Nick.
