Editing Hyperlink (section)

==Links==

===Inline links===
An [[Inline linking|inline link]] displays remote content without the need for embedding the content. The remote content may be accessed with or without the user following the link.

An inline link may display a modified version of the content; for instance, instead of an image, a [[thumbnail]], [[Image resolution|low resolution]] [[Preview (computing)|preview]], [[Cropping (image)|cropped]] section, or [[magnification|magnified]] section may be shown. The full content is then usually available on demand, as is the case with [[desktop publishing|print publishing]] software{{snd}} e.g., with an [[external link]]. This allows for smaller file sizes and quicker response to changes when the full linked content is not needed, as is the case when rearranging a [[page layout]].

An anchor hyperlink (anchor link) is a link bound to a portion of a document,<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BoiMpnq5bmUC&q=%C2%A0An+anchor+hyperlink+is+a+link+bound+to+a+portion+of+a+document&pg=PA28|title=Multimedia, Hypermedia, and Virtual Reality: Models, Systems, and Application: First International Conference, MHVR'94, Moscow, Russia September (14–16), 1996.

The fragment is generally a portion of text or a heading, though not necessarily. For instance, it may also be a [[Screen hotspot|''hot area'']] in an image ([[image map]] in [[HTML]]), a designated, often irregular part of an image.

Fragments are marked with ''anchors'' (in any of various ways), which is why a link to a fragment is called an anchor link (that is, a link to an anchor). For example, in [[XML]], the element <code><anchor id="name" />"</code> provides anchoring capability (as long as the [[Document type definition|DTD]] or schema defines it), and in [[wiki markup]], <code><nowiki>{{anchor|name}}</nowiki></code> is a typical example of implementing it<!--which is how en.Wikipedia's implementation of MediaWiki provides it-->. In [[word processor]] apps, anchors can be inserted where desired and may be called ''bookmarks''<!--which is what Microsoft Word calls them-->. In [[URLs]], the hash character (#) precedes the name of the anchor for the fragment.

One way to define a hot area in an image is by a list of coordinates that indicate its boundaries. For example, a [[Politics of Africa|political map of Africa]] may have each country hyperlinked to further information about that country. A separate invisible hot area interface allows for swapping [[Skin (computing)|skins]] or labels within the linked hot areas without repetitive embedding of links in the various skin elements.

'''Text hyperlink.''' Hyperlink is embedded into a word or a phrase and makes this text clickable.

'''Image hyperlink.''' Hyperlink is embedded into an image and makes this image clickable.

'''Bookmark hyperlink.''' Hyperlink is embedded into a text or an image and takes visitors to another part of a web page.

'''E-mail hyperlink.''' Hyperlink is embedded into e-mail address and allows visitors to send an e-mail message to this e-mail address.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Anchor element – HTML: HyperText Markup Language|url=https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a|url-status=live|access-date=2021-10-13|website=Mozilla Developer Network|archive-date=2022-08-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220830154353/https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/A}}</ref>
