So, if you're trying to compose text that you want to be parsed in its entirety you should use the $(...)$ syntax. For example: http://<<myURL>> results in the text "http://"; followed by the transcluded text of the "myURL" variable, and the overall URL is not parsed as an external URL. http://$(myURL)$ in a macro definition results in the variable "myURL" being replaced by it's text before the macro is parsed. The overall URL is parsed as expected as an external URL.
