This code shows, using C#, how to build a function that replaces certain word (-combinations)with a hyperlink and returns a HTML formatted string.

public static string InsertHyperLink(string in_Text, string in_TextToHyperLink, string in_HyperLink)
{
  int lv_Pointer = 0;
  while (lv_Pointer > -1 && lv_Pointer < in_Text.Length)
  {
    lv_Pointer = in_Text.ToLower().IndexOf(in_TextToHyperLink.ToLower(),lv_Pointer);
    if (lv_Pointer >= 0)
    {

    in_Text = in_Text.Substring(0,lv_Pointer) + 
        "<a href=\"" + in_HyperLink + "\" style=text-decoration:none;font-size:11px;>" +
        in_Text.Substring(lv_Pointer,in_TextToHyperLink.Length) +
        "</a>" + 
        in_Text.Substring(lv_Pointer + in_TextToHyperLink.Length);
     
    lv_Pointer = lv_Pointer + 78 + in_HyperLink.Length + in_TextToHyperLink.Length;
    }
  }
  return in_Text;
}
