Hyperlink to another document can be made with the <A> tag and its href attribute, which defines the URL of the target document e.g. <A href =

For e.g. the name to a section can be set up by using a statement like
<A name = “section1″> Section 1</A>
Later a link to this named section can be set up by giving a command like
<A href = “#section1″> Go to Section 1</A>
