Links

What makes the internet a “web” of pages
Browsers (mainly just Chrome) use your navigation habits for targeted advertisement
Web pages are not linear—links are used to explore different topics and sites
- IE: On Wikipedia, you can navigate from Baseball to Baseball Bat

`<a>`

By default, anchor tags have blue text, and are underlined
Link to another place, including internal pages and external websites
External links use absolute URLs
- IE: https://wikipedia.org
Internal links use relative URLs, relative to current page (or start with / to be relative to root)
- You can also link to specific IDs within the same page with #id
- IE: index.html, ../../index.html, /index.html, #footer

Images

No one likes a website with just text; images make websites more appealing to everyone
“A picture is worth ten thousand words” — Confucius

`<img>`

Alt text is for accessibility and as fallback text if the image fails to load
You can also use images as a link for <a> tags, but you need the target="_blank" attribute
There are three common image formats, along with many others
- .gif → animated images
- .jpg or .jpeg → smaller, no alpha channel, lossy
- .png → larger, transparency, lossless
- Many more, including .jxl, .avif, .webp (and vector graphics such as .svg)

`<figure>`

Captions that appeals under images
Typically explain images or give credit to the image source
<figcaption> includes the actual text within the figure:

<figure>
    <img src="..." alt="...">
    <figcaption>Some Image</figcaption>
</figure>
