Original Code

import sublime, sublime_plugin
 
class HelloWorldEventListener(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
    def on_post_save(self, view):
        #print("---- on_post_save ----")
        view.add_phantom(
            "test", 
            view.sel()[0], 
            'Hello World<a href=hide>' + chr(0x00D7) + '</a>', 
            0, 
            on_navigate = lambda href: view.erase_phantoms("test")
        )
