I am hoping that this quick guide will save you all quite a lot of time, it has me 
Anyway to cut a long story short I normally have to work with massive lists of URLs in a simple .txt format that I need to convert into well written hyper-linked author boxes so I can use it for software like AMR so here is my way if doing it under a minute.
Right here goes :
First you need a bit of software called pspad (google it, yes its free!!)
Open up your URL list in pspad and click edit and follow the screen shot :
You will get a box open up like the screen shot below
On the bit that states "at lines begin" put in <a href="
On the "At line ends" put ">Keyword/text</a>
Right that's the hyper link bit done and dusted and I'm hoping that you are getting the hang of this already
Once you have done that, click "file, save as" and save it as "index.html" this is just to check in your browser that it all looks right and the links work and it should hopefully look like:
Right now go back to PSPAD
Lets add some text to to the file so it looks like a proper author box file
Open up the line manipulation once again and put some text to go before the hyper-link and after the hyper-link (basically building a sentence around the link)
TIP : Remember to put a space at the end of the first entry and a space at the start of the end entry ( you will thank me for this tip)
Now you have added more text you should see something like this:
If you save it as a index.html and open in your browser you should see :
I am hoping you have got the basic idea of this little tool and tutorial, this has saved me HOURS of time!!!!!
If you want to make this {spin-able} then simply put a { right at the start of the list and } at the end of the list, and to add the | between the lines simply use the line manipulation feature!
Enjoy and let me know if it saves you some time
