5.3 Linking Document

Once you have the ability to create HTML pages, you’ll want to learn how to create links
between them, so that you can start building a site. Links are the essence of HTML — they are
what makes it unique.
What makes the web so effective is the ability to define links from one page to another, and to
follow links at the click of a button. A single click can take you right across the world!
