"Output"? HTML is not a programming language.

Anyway, it's indeed bad practice. "Please click here" is foolish for many
reasons, though less foolish outside link text than inside it. Consider what
it looks like on paper, or in a browsing environment without anything to
click with. It also distracts from the context.

Why would that be better?

It seems that by "structured" you mean "prettyprinted". In that case, the
rules of HTML constitute a limitation. Spaces are significant as separators.

You are kidding, aren't you?

It's not simple enough. And the onmouseover stuff most probably causes just
annoyance and distractions. But this does not affect the basic problem.
