  • Would you not need to concatenate the strings together? Commented Nov 6, 2012 at 4:30

Wrong line is

"<b>Wiki @<a href="%s">%s</a> (listed @ go\link) <br><br>"

You need to escape the quotes inside quotes like that:

"<b>Wiki @<a href=\"%s\">%s</a> (listed @ go\link) <br><br>"

like that:

'<b>Wiki @<a href="%s">%s</a> (listed @ go\link) <br><br>'

or (as suggested by @ragsagar) like that:

"""
<b>Wiki @<a href="%s">%s</a> (listed @ go\link) <br><br>
"""
