An anchor can point to any resource on the Web: an HTML page, an image, a sound file, a movie, etc.

The syntax of creating an anchor:

<a href="url">Text to be displayed</a>

The <a> tag is used to create an anchor to link from, the href attribute is used to address the document to link to, and the words between the open and close of the anchor tag will be displayed as a hyperlink.

This anchor defines a link to W3Schools:

<a href="http://blog.uad.ac.id/onggo">Visit my blog!</a>

The line above will look like this in a browser:

Visit my blog!

Normally HTML will truncate spaces in your text. If you write 10 spaces in your text HTML will remove 9 of them. To add spaces to your text, use the &nbsp; character entity.

The Most Common Character Entities:

Result Description Entity Name Entity Number
non-breaking space &nbsp;
< less than &lt; <
> greater than &gt; >
& ampersand &amp; &
“ quotation mark &quot; “
‘ apostrophe &apos; (does not work in IE) ‘

Some Other Commonly Used Character Entities:

Result Description Entity Name Entity Number
¢ cent &cent; ¢
£ pound &pound; £
¥ yen &yen; ¥

If we want the browser to actually display these characters we must insert character entities in the HTML source.

A character entity has three parts: an ampersand (&), an entity name or a # and an entity number, and finally a semicolon (;).

To display a less than sign in an HTML document we must write: < or <

The advantage of using a name instead of a number is that a name is easier to remember. The disadvantage is that not all browsers support the newest entity names, while the support for entity numbers is very good in almost all browsers.

Note that the entities are case sensitive.
