Grammar / Web Design question

[Seacrest]

Does one put punctuation inside link tags or outside?

Ex:

Go to the Apple website!

Go to the Apple website!

[deckeda]

Can't vote w/o clarification first. Does innie or outtie refer to how far the link extends, or to where the punctuation lies in relation to the link?

But I vote for just linking text, not punctuation. Why? Easier to read, and intuitively the linked word makes sense to me to not include the punctuation.

[MysteryGuest]

I go back and forth, but really, I just hate the look of that stray punctuation in another color, logic be damn'd.

[bik]

Punctuation outside.

I prefer it like:
Go to the Apple web site!

[Dick Moore]

I need a "don't care" option.

[JoeM]

For me, if link is word or words within a sentence, it's an innie:
Go to the Apple website!

If the whole sentence is the link, outtie:
Go to the Apple website!

[testcase]

... My "outie" in her "innie" ...

[trisho.]

JoeM has it right. Or at least that's the style I use. I'm there is an official web style guide for copywriters you could consult.
