html link insert

Hi,

I am trying to use a text expander to trigger a popup box for me to insert an href tag and link text. However, I'm having problems as it inserts a space before the url and extra </ before the end tag like this.

<a href=" url.com">keyword</</a>

The macro also causes my shift key to lock on down.

Attached is screenshot. Can you let me know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

I tried and it works for me.
Probably there is another similar text expander active - try to disable it or change the abbreviation to something else.

Ack! I found the problem. Fastkeys was conflicting with another Textexpander I was using. I'm migrating to Fastkeys so I was still using the old one. Thanks.
