Link Tags (<a>)

The <a> tag is used to create links, allowing users to navigate to other pages or sections of the same page. The <a> tag requires the href attribute to define the destination URL.

Internal and External Links

Links can be internal (within the same website) or external (to other websites). Internal links use relative paths, while external links use absolute paths.

Email Links

To create email links, we use mailto: followed by the email address. Clicking the link opens the user's default email client with the address already filled in.

Link Attributes (title, target, etc.)

Besides href, the <a> tag can include several useful attributes. For example, title shows a tooltip when the user hovers over the link, and target defines how the link will open.
