<a href="URL"></a>

Creates a link to the specified URL.
ex. <a href="http://www.law.berkeley.edu">Boalt</a>

<a href="mailto:e-mail"></a>

Creates a link to send e-mail to the specified e-mail address.
ex. <a href="mailto:bob@law.berkeley.edu">E-Mail Bob</a>

<a name="anchorname" ></a>

Used to create internal anchor links, or bookmarks, on a page so that links can jump to certain sections of a page. These tags usually do not surround any text or images so that they remain invisible anchors.
ex. <a name="section1"></a>

<a href="#anchorname" ></a>

Used to link to the internal anchor link created with <a name=?">. Works the same way as normal links, but jumps to wherever the anchor link is located rather than simply to the beginning of that page. If the anchor link is on another page, then the name of that page goes before the "#".
ex. <a href="page.html#section1">View Section 1</a>
