MediaWiki Template Parsing with HTML Tags

Question

How do I parse wiki markup within tags?

For example, I'm creating a template to insert an iframe into my personal wiki page:

Template:iframelink contains:

<html>
<iframe src="http://www.{{{1}}}.com"></iframe>
</html>

However, I can't pass anything to {{{1}}} because it's within the <html> tags.

What work-arounds can I use to be able to expand {{{1}}} within the html tags?

Possibly something like this:

<html>
<iframe src="http://www.</html>{{{1}}}<html>.com"></iframe>
</html>

You may want to investigate a more general solution like:
