Easy, just make a tuple of item,item and have two %s markers:

print( "<td><b><font color=yellow><a href='%s'>%s</a></td>" % (item, item) )

But you need to concern yourself with escaping. In fact, you already
needed to, just to produce it as text - but it's now even more
important. I strongly suggest you look into that.
