- <A name=name>...</A>
  Sets a tag in your document which can be href'd back to. Click here to go to the end of the document
- <A href="[protocol://][hostname/]name">link</a>
  Makes a hypertext link to the named item. If the protocol is missing, The HTML browser will assume file:. If the hostname is missing, the HTML browser will assume that the link is to the same host as the current URL.
  Although Mosaic doesn't care whether the name is quoted, this behaviour can not be guaranteed for all HTML browsers.
  - <A href="name">...</a>
    This makes a link to the named file. eg:
```
     link to a text file
```
    If the leading "/" is omitted, the named file will be assumed to be relative to the current URL.
    Your browser will recognise HTML files automatically, provided that the file has a ".htm" extension [".htm" for Windoze].
    Note Relative references can't be used when imagemaps are used
  - <A href="#name">...</a>
    A hash means that the link is to a tag within the currently loaded document.
```
     link to the top of this file
```
  - <A href="news:newsgroup">...</a>
    Connects to the news-server taken from the environment variable NNTP_SERVERand reads the newsgroup.
```
     link to [www] newsgroup
     link to [all] newsgroups
```
    This use of the environment variable guarantees that a local nntp server will be used. You may specify a specific news server. Make sure it can be accessed by all the people likely to read the URL.
```
     link to specific [news] server
```
  - <A href="wais:name">...</a>
    connects to a wais server.
```
     link to [wais]
```

All tags in HTML have a corresponding terminator. For <IMG>, its terminator is technically </IMG>. It is probably best not to use this terminator as recent versions of Mosaic interpret </IMG> as an inline image that doesnt exist.
Note the image name should be quoted. Although Mosaic may not care whether quotes are present, this behaviour can not be guaranteed in other other HTML browsers.
