I'm having a bit of trouble understanding what you're getting at, but I *think* I understand; you have this: 
foreach $message (@logmessages)
{
    LI(); 
    Strong($message);
}

[download]
and you want to be able to say: 
foreach $message (@logmessages)
{
    LI(Strong($message));
}

[download]
Is that correct?

If so, what you need to do is modify your "Strong" sub so that it *returns* the HTML rather than printing it out.

In other words: 

sub Strong {
    return "<STRONG>" . $_[0] . "</STRONG>";
}

[download]
Now you can say 
LI(Strong($message));

[download]
and it should work.

Is that what you were asking? (Of course, if you're going to do this, you *may* want to think about making all of your functions return the HTML rather than printing it, to be consistent.)
