HTML Links
A link lets a visitor go somewhere else. HTML creates links with the <a> tag. The href attribute tells the browser where to go. The words between <a> and </a> are the clickable part. For example: <a href="https://example.com">Visit Example</a>. Links can point to another website, another page in your own site, an email address, a phone number, or a place on the same page. A good link tells the visitor what will happen when they click it.
