WML TAG: a
<a href=... > ... </a>
The
a
tag is used with the mandatory
href
attribute to set a hypertext link (usually just referred to as a hyperlink or link). The link allows you to travel from one XML card or deck to another.
You cannot nest link elements inside of other link elements. However, you can nest the
br
and
img
tags in a link element.
The
anchor
tag can also perform the exact same task as the
a
tag, but the
anchor
tag requires the use of the
go
tag to effect the link. It is strongly recommended that you use the
a
rather than the
anchor
tag for links.
Nested Tags: br img
Attributes
class
The optional
class
core attribute is used to assign one or more classes to the element. Multiple classes are separated by white space. The class name is case sensitive (i.e.,
Stocks
and
stocks
are not the same).
href
The mandatory
href
attribute provides the URL for the destination of the link. It can be the URL of a deck or card. The URL usually cannot exceed 255 characters in length.
id
The optional
id
core attribute is used to assign an identifying name to a tag. The name must be unique to the entire deck and not just unique to a card. The first character of the name can be any letter or the underscore. The remaining characters can be any combination of letters, numbers, or underscores.
title
The optional
title
attribute provides a string or text used to describe or provide additional information about the link.
xml:lang
The optional
xml:lang
attribute sets the language, such as English or Greek, used in the element. For example, in the U.S. the default value is
en-US
.
