See also: Internet | Links | HTML
A very common method of linking documents created to generate a potentially never-ending document. Hyperlinks are usually text like this or a picture that, when selected, redirects the user to another part of the document or a different place entirely.
Interconnecting documents is how the Internet began and, for the most part, still is. Hyperlinks are the core of the World Wide Web and their ease of use for “tagging” or “marking up” simple words make up this wiki.
A hyperlink may not work because of Linkrot.
Examples
- Gopher
- URL
- Javascript, Java and Flash animations
- One of the most simple and familiar hyperlinks comes from the HTML HREF tag:
- <code><a href=”http://takedown.net/wiki">Wiki</a></code>
- <code><a href=”ed2k://|file|Emperor.of.the.Fading.Suns.zip|13824241|046AB702683F9CF39CDBBF33431E3DE3|/”>Emperor of the Fading Suns.zip</a></code>
