Both the start- and end-tags are required for this element.
Description
Hypertext link.
It may contain in-line elements
and has EndTerm, Linkend, and Type attributes.
Processing Expectations
The optional Endterm attribute specifies
text that is to be fetched from elsewhere in the document
to appear in the Link. Text for the same purpose
may be supplied directly as
the content of the Link, in which case the value of the
Endterm attribute is to be ignored.
In some contexts, additional elements may be allowed
by inclusions in parent elements.
Similarly, in some contexts, some of these elements
may be invalid due to exclusions in parent elements.
Attributes
Endterm
Endterm holds the ID of an element that contains
text and which is to be fetched from elsewhere in the document
to appear as the content of this element.
Linkend
ID of target pointed to by this element.
Type
Type indicates how the Members of the SimpleList
should be formatted: Inline (Members separated by
commas, etc., inline), Vert (top to bottom in the number of
columns indicated by the Columns attribute), or Horiz (right
to left or left to right, depending on current text flow)
in the number of
columns indicated by the Columns attribute). The default
is Vert. If Column is 1 or #IMPLIED, Type=Vert and
Type=Horiz give the same results.
Examples
<PARA><MODESPEC ID="mo123" APPLICATION="FAX">usenumericipaddr</MODESPEC>
To warm up, we provide a <ANCHOR ID="proan123"> target in
<PHRASE ID="proan124">the same place</PHRASE>, pretty much.
To go there,
<LINK LINKEND="proan123" TYPE="info">click here</LINK>
and say goodbye. Or click to go to
<LINK LINKEND="proan123" ENDTERM="proan124"></LINK>.
You may prefer to
<ULINK URL="http://foo.bar.com/index.html" TYPE="alternate">click
here</ULINK> instead. And if that doesn't work, just
<OLINK TARGETDOCENT="foobar" LINKMODE="mo123"
LOCALINFO="noretry" TYPE="desperate">click here</OLINK>
and give up all hope.
