link
A hypertext link
The link
element is a general purpose hypertext element. Usually, link
surrounds the text that should be made “hot” (unlike xref
which must generate the text) but the endterm
attribute can be used to copy text from another element.
If the link
element has content, then that content is processed for output as the “hot” text. If the link
element has content and an endterm
attribute, then the content is used and the endterm
is ignored. If the link
element has an endterm
attribute and no content, then the content of the element pointed to by endterm
should be repeated at the location of the link
and used as the “hot” text.
