HTML: The a tag
The
<a> tag is used both for linking to other websites and for linking to parts of the current webpage. It has one required attribute:href: Where the browser should navigate to. If it should go to a new page, then this should be a URL starting with "http://" or "https://". If it should jump inside the current page, then it should start with a "#" and then match the id attribute of the tag to jump to (like "#main").
The a tag should contain whatever the browser should make clickable. That's often text, but it could also be an image or any collection of tags.
