| Anchor
|
An HTML tag that specifies the beginning or end point of a

An anchor may also be a named place in a document that other documents
can form a link to.
An anchor must include a name or href attribute,
and may include both. There are several optional attributes,
but they are rarely encountered.
An anchor includes 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 contents between the opening and closing tags,
<A name=name href="URL"> ...stuff... </A>
is the start of a link to the URL specified, or the target of any
link to the name fragment.
