Links

• A link takes you to another page when you click it.
• Use the <a> tag (a stands for anchor).
• The web address goes in href: <a href="...">.

<a href="https://example.com">Visit Example</a>

• href="..." is an attribute — extra information inside the opening tag.
• The text between <a> and </a> is what the reader sees and clicks.
• Use the full address, starting with https://.
