A URL is a standardized address that identifies a web page or network endpoint. In HTML, the <a> element uses its href attribute to store the address a browser should open. section 6.2.1
URLs can point to files on the same site or to external pages. A filename can identify a nearby page, while a directory path or complete web address identifies a different location. section 6.2.1
Linking to pages
Use a relative URL for a nearby page: <a href="about.html">About</a>. For a page in the site's root-level faq directory, use <a href="/faq/index.html">FAQ</a>. An external page can use a complete URL: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutabaga">Rutabaga</a>. section 6.2.1
