If you decided to go that route, this should work. Just add this to your themes functions.php file:
// Add Shortcode
function link_inline_styling( $atts , $content = null ) {
// Attributes
extract( shortcode_atts(
array(
'url' => '',
'target' => '',
), $atts )
);
// Code
return '<a href="'.$url.'" target="'.$target.'" ><span style="font-family:Arial,Verdana;font-size:12px;font-weight:12px;color:#337D98;"><strong>'.$content.'</strong></span></a>';
}
add_shortcode( 'link', 'link_inline_styling' );
and then in your content area you can use the shortcode like this:
[link url="http://google.com" target="_blank"]My Anchor text[/link]
The output will be this:
<a href="http://google.com" target="_blank" ><span style="font-family:Arial,Verdana;font-size:12px;font-weight:12px;color:#337D98;"><strong>My Anchor text</strong></span></a>
