Building web pages with XHTML 1.1 | |
The rel and rev attributes,
used in the link and a
elements, describe the relationship between two resources
(such as web pages and stylesheets).
Here is a list of the recognized link types. When used
as a rel attribute, each link type defines
the relationship between the current document, denoted as C, and
some referenced resource, denoted
as R. (The rev attribute defines the same relationship but in reverse
order; in that case, C is
the referenced document, while R is the current document.)
stylesheet |
R is a stylesheet to be used
in rendering C.
This is probably the most common use of the link element. Here's an example.
Suppose you have a CSS stylesheet named gothic.css. To apply that stylesheet to
the current document, you would use this element:
<link rel='stylesheet' href='gothic.css' type='text/css'/> |
alternate |
R is another version of
C, perhaps in a different
language, or set up for a different media type.
