HTML: insert link - how it works

To insert a link via HTML code that leads to another website, you only need to know the right day. In our practical tip you can read how it works.

Insert a link using HTML code

You can easily insert links in the HTML body. The day for this encloses the text that should be displayed as a link - so you must not forget the beginning or the end of the code for the link to work.

• The right day is link text.
• For example, it looks like this: Click here to go to the CHIP homepage!
• You can not only link to external websites, but also within your own website, for example.
• If you want to create a table of contents through which the reader can jump directly to individual chapters, define an ID in each heading, which you specify in the code instead of a hyperlink.
• For example, a heading could read:

  Chapter 3: Creating an HTML index

• Then link to it as follows: Chapter 3: Creating an HTML index
