To move from one document to another or from one web site to another we have to have links.
The code below produces a link to a web page and if you click on that link you will go to that page.

<a href="links.html">Anchors and Links</a> |
Anchors and Links |
<a is the anchor tag. The HREF ( Hypertext REFerence ) indicates the page or URL ( Universal Resource Locator ) being linked to and
and makes the anchor into a link to the page "links.html".
If you wish to link to another website you just need to have the link point to the name or specific page on that website.
Also we've added a new command target="_blank" in our HTML code.
This will open the page in a new window allowing the current window to remain open.

To create our menu we introduced the <p> and <br> tags.
The <p> tag defines a paragraph and inserts a space.
<br> tag inserts a BReak in the text and starts a new line.
