Chapter 6. Links and Webs
Up to this point, we've dealt with HTML and XHTML
documents as standalone entities, concentrating on the language
elements you use for structure and to format your work. The true
power of these markup languages, however, lies in their ability to
join collections of documents together into a full library of
information and to link your library of documents with other
collections around the world. Just as readers have considerable
control over how the document looks onscreen, with hyperlinks they
also have control over the order of presentation as they navigate
through your information. It's the
"HT" in HTML and
XHTML — hypertext — and it's the twist that
spins the Web.
