Hyperlinks

What is hyperlinks?

A characteristic or property of an element (e.g.: -

symbol, word, phrase, sentence or image) in a document that

points to and causes to display another document when the user

clicks it with a mouse.
In a hypertext system, such a linked element

is underlined, bolded, or otherwise emphasized to indicate to

the user that a link to another document is available.

Hyperlinks are

created through the use of programming languages such as
SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) and HTML

(Hypertext Markup Language).
