the syntax would roughly be (absolutely not ok to just copy, paste and use):

Document doc = new Document();
doc.createElement("a");
a.createAttribute("href");
href.setValue("http://www.yahoo.com";);
a.setValue("http://www.yahoo.com";);

This is the underlying issue. First figure out if you really want them to do
such things.
If you do, is it an option to add a separate set of fields for them to add
links (which then solves your problem).
And if separate fields are not an option, try to figure out how the HTMLarea
sample handles these issues.
Finally: would it help to put the data between CDATA[ ] tags?

Bye, Helma
