This attribute links the <a> tag it modifies to a specified anchor elsewhere within the eBook. For instance, an anchor link may be linked to additional text or to a footnotes section using this attribute. The #destination syntax allows anchors to link to positions inside documents, which are created by using the <a> tag with the name attribute (see name, below), or by placing an id attribute on any tag.
