Huh???
Try
<a href="please %3cblink me%3e">please <blink me></a>
or
<a href="please%20%3cblink%20me%3e">please <blink me></a>
That is, use HTML encoding outside of the tags (<,> become <,>)
and hex encoding within the tags (<,> become %3c,%3e)
But I don't see why you need to escape this anyway. Well, maybe you do
with some scripting languages that may be over-eager to interpret the
space, < and > characters. (I normally use C or java and this isn't an
issue.) Normally this encoding is only required for the characters used
in GET commands (&, ?, =) and possibly characters with the high bit set.
