Uh, what are you expecting to happen there? You're asking FormBuilder to insert an "a" attribute into the field with the specified value. FormBuilder is (correctly) quoting the value of the attribute for insertion in HTML. There's nothing you can quote to "fix" that.

The documentation does not seem to mention any way to add arbitrary tags. Why not use FormBuilder's TT2 support? That way you have full control over everything.

Makeshifts last the longest.
