<?DTD2HTML -home- >
This document allows you to navigate through the structure of the HTML
DTD.  The element and attribute descriptions contained within this document
were extracted from the document
<a href="http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/HTML.html">
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)</a>.
<P>
<?DTD2HTML a >
An anchor is a piece of text which marks the beginning and/or the
end of a hypertext link.
Go <a href="http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/Elements/A.html">
here</a> for more information on an anchor.
<p>
<strong>Example</strong>:
<pre>
&lt;A HREF="http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/Elements/A.html"&gt;
</pre>
<P>
<?DTD2HTML a* >
<P>
<?DTD2HTML a*href >
   OPTIONAL. If the HREF attribute is present, the anchor
   is sensitive text: the start of a link. If the reader selects this
   text, (s)he should be presented with another document
   whose network address is defined by the value of the
   HREF attribute.
<P>
<?DTD2HTML a*methods >
   OPTIONAL. The value of this field is a string which if
   present must be a comma separated list of HTTP
   METHODS supported by the object for public use.
<P>
<?DTD2HTML a*name >
   OPTIONAL. If present, the attribute NAME allows the
   anchor to be the destination of a link. The value of the
   attribute is an identifier for the anchor. Identifiers are
   arbitrary strings but must be unique within the HTML
   document. Another document can then make a reference
   explicitly to this anchor by putting the identifier after the
   address, separated by a hash sign.
<P>
<?DTD2HTML a*rel >
   OPTIONAL. An attribute REL may give the relationship
   (s) described by the hypertext link. The value is a
   comma-separated list of relationship values. Values and
   their semantics will be registered by the HTML 
   registration authority . The default relationship if none
   other is given is void. REL should not be present unless
   HREF is present.
<P>
<?DTD2HTML a*rev >
   OPTIONAL. The same as REL , but the semantics of the
   link type are in the reverse direction. A link from A to B
   with REL="X" expresses the same relationship as a link
   from B to A with REV="X". An anchor may have both
   REL and REV attributes.
<P>
<?DTD2HTML a*title >
   OPTIONAL. This is informational only. If present the
   value of this field should equal the value of the TITLE of
   the document whose address is given by the HREF
   attribute.
<P>
<?DTD2HTML a*urn >
   OPTIONAL. If present, this specifies a uniform resource
   number for the document.
