HTML in variable value?

Hello All,

I have a lesson that generates email to the students upon completion. The email contains the values of 12 variables that were set during the course. If the student answers affirmative, then the variable values are text plus links to resources for additional study.  If negative, then the value is a  short text string.

Is there a way to specify the links as HTML (i.e., hrefs) rather than super long URLs?

 Not only are the URLs unruly to the eye but I'm also finding that the email gets truncated by the javascript/browser interaction if I have multiple affirmative responses.

Thanks in advance,
