Look at the way that SeaMonkey/Mozilla does it, no HTML shows up.

But I think the 'how to insert a link' thing is just a symptom of what
I find uncomfortable about Drupal and similar systems.  I'm realising
(with all the help here among other things) that Drupal isn't really
aimed at what I want to do.  I don't need dynamic content and I don't
need browser based editing.
