Links and Images
Links (Anchor Tag)
The <a> tag creates clickable links:
<a href="https://example.com">Click here</a>
<a href="about.html">About Us</a>
<a href="mailto:info@example.com">Send Email</a>Images
The <img> tag embeds images. It is a self-closing tag:
<img src="photo.jpg" alt="A beautiful sunset" width="400">📌 Always include alt text!
The alt attribute describes the image for screen readers and if the image fails to load.
