Compiled content remains separate and is rendered by a compilier
HTML uses a compiled approach; the browser is the program that compiles the HTML pages + any content that they link to
in order to render the page as coded
HTML uses pointers to locate content--these are tags that have attributes that are the location
of the resource being linked to
When creating links, you need 2 components:
Something to link to--a hyperlink reference (for example, the complete URL for an external website)
Something on the HTML page that will be linked, the anchor (for example, linked text)
Definitions: Types of Links
External links
links to content outside of your website. They typically start with http:// or
https://
Referential links
links to content within your website. Using referential links in your website is best practice
Bookmarks
links from one part of a webpage to another part of that same page
