The <a> tag defines a hyperlink, which is used to link from one page to another.
download ; value: filename ; specifies that the target will be downloaded when a user clicks on the hyperlink.
href ; value: url; specifies the URL of the page the link goes to.
hreflang ; value: language code; specifies the language of the linked document.
media ; value: media_query; specifies what media/device the linked document is optimized for.
ping ; value: list_of_URLs; specifies a space-separated list of URLs to which, when the link is followed, post requests with the body ping will be sent by the browser (in the background). Typically used for tracking.
referrerpolicy ; value: no-referrer, no-referrer-when-downgrade, origin, origin-when-cross-origin, same-origin, strict-origin-when-cross-origin, unsafe-url; specifies which referrer information to send with the link.
rel ; value: alternate, author, bookmark, external, help, license, next, nofollow, noreferrer, noopener, prev, search, tag; specifies the relationship between the current document and the linked document.
target ; value: _blank, _parent, _self, _top; specifies where to open the linked document.
type ; value: media_type; specifies the media type of the linked document.
The most important attribute of the <a> element is the "href" attribute, which indicates the link's destination. By default, links will appear as follows in all browsers: an unvisited link is underlined and blue, a visited link is underlined and purple, an active link is underlined and red. If the <a> tag has no "href" attribute, it is only a placeholder for a hyperlink.
A linked page is normally displayed in the current browser window, unless you specify another target. Use CSS to style links.
An image as a link:
code:
<p class="spec">An image as a link: <a href="https://www.lwitters.com">
<img border="0" alt="my website" src="../pics/cartoon.jpg" width="100" height="100">
</a></p>
If you set the target attribute to "_blank", the link will open in a new browser window or a new tab.
code:
<a class="spec" href="https://www.lwitters.com" target="_blank">Visit my website!</a>
<p class="spec">If you set the target attribute to "_blank", the link will open in a new
browser window or a new tab.</p>
To create a link that opens in the user's email program (to let them send a new email), use mailto: inside the href attribute.
code:
<p class="spec">To create a link that opens in the user's email program (to let them send a new email), use mailto:
inside the href attribute.</p>
<p class="spec"><a href="mailto:someone@example.com">Send email</a></p>
code:
<a class="spec" href="#top">Go to top of the page</a>
code:
<a class="spec" href="javascript:alert('Hi there, how are you!');">execute JavaScript</a>
The<abbr> tag defines an abbreviation or an acronym, like "HTML", "CSS", "Mr.", "Dr.", "ASAP", "ATM".
Use the global title attribute to show the description for the abbreviation/acronym when you mouse over the element.
It is not necessarily a requirement to use the <abbr> when presenting an abbreviation. It is simply a tag that can be useful in many cases when doing so (for example, using the title attribute to expand on the abbreviation, or using style sheets to apply to the <abbr> element).

Code:
<p>The <abbr title="World Health Organization">WHO</abbr> was founded in 1948.</p>

The <address> tag defines the contact information for the author/owner of a document or an article. The contact information can be an email address, URL, physical address, phone number, social media handle, etc. The text in the <address> element usually renders in italic, and browsers will always add a line break before and after the <address> element.
Code:
<address style="margin-left:4vw;">

The <area> tag defines an area inside an image map (i.e. an image with clickable areas). <area> elements are always nested inside a <map> tag. The "usemap" attribute in <img> is associated with the <map> element's "name" attribute, and creates a relationship between the image and the map.

The <article> tag specifies independent, self-contained content. An article should make sense on its own and it should be possible to distribute it independently from the rest of the site.
The <article> HTML element represents a self-contained composition in a document, page, application, or site, which is intended to be independently distributable or reusable (e.g., in syndication). Examples include: a forum post, a magazine or newspaper article, or a blog entry, a product card, a user-submitted comment, an interactive widget or gadget, or any other independent item of content.

The <aside> tag defines some content aside from the content it is placed in. The <aside> content should be indirectly related to the surrounding content. It is often placed as a sidebar in a document. The <aside> element does not render as anything special in a browser. However, you can use CSS to style the element.
Salamanders are a group of amphibians with a lizard-like appearance, including short legs and a tail in both larval and adult forms.
Several species of salamander inhabit the temperate rainforest of the Pacific Northwest, including the Ensatina, the Northwestern Salamander and the Rough-skinned Newt. Most salamanders are nocturnal, and hunt for insects, worms and other small creatures.
Code:
<style>

The <audio> tag is used to embed sound content in a document, such as music or other audio streams. The <audio> tag contains one or more <source> tags with different audio sources.
