Hyperlinks, commonly known as links, are a fundamental aspect of the World Wide Web. They enable users to navigate from one web page to another with a single click. In HTML, hyperlinks are created using the <a> (anchor) element, which can link to another document, an email address, a phone number, or even another section within the same page.

Syntax of a Hyperlink

The basic syntax for creating a hyperlink in HTML involves the <a> tag with the href attribute, which specifies the destination of the link. The text or content placed between the opening <a> tag and the closing </a> tag is what users will interact with to follow the link. Here's an example:

In this example, "Visit Example.com" is the clickable text that users will see, and clicking on it will take them to "https://www.example.com".
