Syntax to use URL in function

case "Seats, BEV":
"wattev2buy review & compare the " + 'No-Doors' + ", " + Seats + " seat " + 'Model Year' + " " + " " + "<strong><a href=" + html(WEV_brand_link) + ">" + html('Marque Brand') + "</a></strong>" + " " + 'WEV Model Name' + " pure electric vehicle (BEV) " + " " + text('Body-style') + " helping you to find the best EV for you. "

How can I use the above function to print the url where

WEV_Brand Lik = https://wattev2buy.com/electric-vehicles/mercedes-benz-electric-vehicles/

and

Marque_Brand is "Mercedes"

So in the text result the text must be 

<strong><a href="https://wattev2buy.com/electric-vehicles/mercedes-benz-electric-vehicles/“>Mercedes</a></strong>

    This should get you there. I used variables for the field names and note the number of quotes for the link. The entire string needs to go into the html() function.

     

    let NoDoors := "XXX";
    let Seats := "XXX";
    let ModelYear := "XXXX";
    let startString := "wattev2buy review & compare the " + NoDoors + ", " + Seats + " seat " + ModelYear + "
    ";
    let WEV_brand_link := """https://wattev2buy.com/electric-vehicles/mercedes-benz-electric-vehicles/""";
    let MarqueBrand := "Mercedes";
    let WEVModelName := "EQ";
    let Body_style := "Coupe";
    let htmlString := "<strong><a href=" + WEV_brand_link + ">" + MarqueBrand + "</a></strong>";
    let endString := " " + WEVModelName + " pure electric vehicle (BEV) " + " " + Body_style + " helping you to find the best EV for you.";
    html(startString + htmlString + endString)

    Thanks Sean, unfortunately it gives me the same result as I had. My result is from a switch statement. See attached image. I need to export the result as a text string via zapier to mysql so the string must show as a url string, currently it show the result of html code.

    So the result I from the switch statement need must look like this:

    wattev2buy review & compare the 4-door, 5 seat 2019 <strong><a href="https://wattev2buy.com/electric-vehicles/mercedes-benz-electric-vehicles/“>Mercedes</a></strong> A250e L 4Matic PHEV plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) Sedan helping you to find the best EV for you.

     

    Not this:

    wattev2buy review & compare the 4-door, 5 seat 2019 Mercedes A250e L 4Matic PHEV plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) Sedan helping you to find the best EV for you.

    Figured out my mistake, I was using a rich text box instead of plain text

    Looks like you worked it out. The html() function renders CSS and HTML so if you just want the unrendered string don't use that function.
