` tag.You use `link` for the unvisited state and `vlink` for visited. `vlink` stands for “visited link.” If you set both to the same color, the link won’t change appearance after being clicked. This can be good for design consistency, though it makes it harder for users to track what they’ve already read.Example:
“This forces the text to stay green regardless of interaction history. It’s a blunt tool, but it works.### Email HyperlinksWant readers to contact you without typing out your address? Use the `mailto:` protocol. It triggers the user’s default email client.The structure is similar to a web link. You put `mailto:` followed by the email address in the `href` attribute. The visible text can be anything you want.Example:
` E-mail Me `Rendered:
E-mail MeClicking this opens a new email draft addressed to that inbox. It’s the quickest way to reduce friction in contact forms.### Internal and Anchor LinksYou don’t need to link to external sites. You can use the same `` tag to navigate within your own HTML document. Just omit the domain and protocol. Use the file name instead.Example:
` Company Information `This links to another page in your site. But what if you want to jump to a specific section on the *same* page? You need anchor points.First, you create a named anchor. Place this tag immediately before the section you want to link to. The `name` attribute holds the identifier. It can be almost any string.Example:
``Then, in your navigation link, you reference that name using a hash symbol (`#`).If the target is on the current page:
` Jump to Section 5 `If the target is in a different HTML file, you combine the filename and the hash.Example:
` Company Information `This sends the user straight to that specific spot. It’s useful for long articles or documentation.We’ll look at images next.
