The link tag is short and simple: <a>. In between the opening and closing tag goes text we want to be visible on the webpage.

<html>
<body>
<a>Take me somewhere!</a>
</body>
</html>
]]>

Easy! The web browser will display anything in between the opening and closing tag as a link.

If a tag contains a / sign, it's a closing tag and should be at the end.
