Formula to create hyper link with display text defined

I want to be able to clean up/simplify how a link is displayed in a cell. 

Column A: the text I'd like to use for the link display

Column B: the long URL with lots of URL tokens, folder locations, etc..

Column C: a clean, short, hyperlink made from A&B



Example values

A: Profile

B: http://www.domain.com/peeps/folks/active/profile.php&ThisDude=2341235

C: Profile

(don't bother clicking the above link, totally made up)



Is it possible to do this with some formula structure in Column C?



I've tried escaping quotes and building an <a href...></a> structure but it just comes out as text and displays the whole HTML tag.

Thanks for any thoughts.
