In this article, we will learn how to specify the location of the linked document in HTML5. This can be done by using a href attribute in the <link> element. This has various uses. Most commonly it is used to link stylesheets or favicons to the document.

Syntax:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">

The below examples illustrate the use of the href attribute.

Example 1: In this example, an external stylesheet's location is specified using the href attribute.

HTML 
<html> <head>    <!-- Bootstrap CSS from CDN -->   <link rel="stylesheet"         href= "https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">    <!-- Custom styling -->   <style>     h1 {       color: green;     }      h1, h2 {       text-align: center;     }   </style> </head> <body>   <h1>GeeksforGeeks</h1>   <h2>     How to specify the location of the     linked document in HTML5?   </h2> </body> </html>

Output:

Example 2: In this example, the <a> tag is used to link the document using the href attribute.

HTML 
<html> <head>   <style>     h1 {       color: green;     }      body {       text-align: center;     }   </style> </head> <body>   <h1>GeeksforGeeks</h1>   <h2>     How to specify the location of     the linked document in HTML5?   </h2>   <a href="https://ide.geeksforgeeks.org/">     Click to open in the same tab   </a> </body> </html>
