The LINK element belongs within the HEAD element of an HTML document. It is to be used to indicate a relationship between the document and other documents or objects. Consequently a document may have any number of LINK elements, to indicate all the possible relationships between the document and other, related documents.
The LINK element is empty (i.e, there is no closing
</LINK>) but takes the same attributes
as the Anchor (A) element. Typically,
a LINK element would be used to indicate authorship, related
indexes and glossaries, older or more recent versions, etc.
Links can also indicate the tree structure in which the
document was authored by pointing, for example, to the
"parent", "next" or "previous" documents.
LINK is currently used to referenced external cascading stylesheet
files, using the format
<LINK HREF="url-to-stylesheet" REL="stylesheet">.
<HEAD> <LINK HREF="file2.html" REL="next"> <LINK HREF="/cgi-reg/gloss.pl" REL="glossary"> <LINK HREF="/cgi-bin/index.pl" REL="index"> <LINK HREF="toc.html" REL="contents"> <LINK HREF="file0.html" REL="previous"> </HEAD>
