The anchor is the way to link to other documents, or to mark places within a document that can be referred to in the same, or other documents. The anchor has the form:
-- <A -|- HREF=" -- url -- " --|- > -- hot text (or image) -- </A> --| | ^ |- NAME=" - string - " -|The "hot text (or image)" is the text (or image, or both) that appears in your document on which you can click to activate the link to another document.
The URL can be either relative to your location on the HTTP server on which both documents reside, or absolute to any HTTP server on the Internet. (The string option refers to anchors within the document that may be a target of a link from elsewhere in your document, or from another document.)
