Ahh, right, probably what you need to do here, is just manually remove these
lines from the file created by xgettext.
Since these lines arent going to be called with the gettext function.
Ie we dont want to translate html, or for that matter variables.

Hope this makes sense

PS, xgettext was what i was going to suggest in response to your other email.
