All the HTML tags presented up to now had to do with the structure or appearance of a document. One of the major strengths of HTML, however, is the ability to create links to other documents or to different sections within a document. This capability is called hypertext. You've been seeing examples of this as you work through this guide. The table of contents at the beginning of each chapter, for example, takes you to files which contain the different sections. Links are generally indicated by text highlighted with a different color or underlining.

In this section, we'll create another sample document and place some links in it. Once again, we'll use Notepad to edit our HTML files. If Notepad is closed, you should open it now. If you don't remember how, go back to Chapter 2 for instructions (that's a link, by the way).

If Notepad is open with your first.html file, save that file and then use the File New command to start a new document.
