<LINK> Document Link

Definition:

The <LINK> element indicates a relationship between the document and some other object. A document may have any number of <LINK> elements.

Attributes:

HREF
The HREF attribute implies that the anchor acts as the start of a hypertext link. The destination is designated by the value of the HREF attribute, which is expressed using Universal Resource Identifier (URI) notation.

METHODS

REL
Used to describe the relationship of the linked object specified with the HREF attribute. The set of relationship names is not part of this specification, although "Path" and "Node" are reserved for future use with hypertext paths or guided tours. The REL attribute can be used to support searches for links serving particular relationships.

REV
This defines a reverse relationship. A link from document A to document B with REV=relation expresses the same relationship as a link from B to A with REL=relation. REV=made is sometimes used to identify the document's author, either the author's email address with a mailto URI, or a link to the author's home page. Tables of contents can use anchors with REV="ToC" to allow software to insert page numbers when printing hypertext documents.

TITLE
This is informational only and describes the object specified with the HREF attribute. It can be used for object types that don't possess titles, such as graphics, plain text and Gopher menus.

Context:

<LINK> is legal within:

Suggested style/usage:
