An anchor is a piece of text or some other object (for example an
image icon) which marks the beginning and/or the end of a hypertext
link. The <code><A></code> element is used to mark that piece
of text, and to give its hypertextual relationship to other documents.
The text between the opening and closing tags, <code><a
attributes> ...text... </A></code> can be the start or
destination (or both) of a link. Here are some simple examples:</p>
<dl>
<dt> <code> <a href=](dtdguid2.gif)
The string `bla bla' is a hypertext
link to the document `file.html' located
at the indicated URL.
<a href="image.jpeg">
<IMG SRC="icon.gif"> </A>
The image `icon.gif' is a hypertext
link to the image file located in the same directory
as the currently accessed document (unless otherwise
specified by the BASE element).
<A NAME="frxx">textbla</A>
The string `textbla' can be the target
of a link. This link is referenced via the form
"file.html#frxx" where 'file.html' is the file that
contains this anchor and `#frxx' is the anchor NAME. If
you are already in `file.html' the file is implicit, so
it can be left out.
