<link>
Available in versions: 2.0, 3.2, 4.0
The <link> tag is used to establish a relationship between the current document
and one or more other related documents.
For example, if you have a Cascading Style Sheets .css file that defines the style for an entire
web site, then each file in the site would be linked to the .css file using the link tag.
This tag can be used more than once (i.e., one link per tag).
Each occurrence of this tag must be placed inside the head element.
A value for the href attribute is required.
There is no closing tag.

Attributes
charset
The charset attribute is used to specify the character encoding used on the page that
is the target of the link.
Character encoding defines how a sequence of bytes is to be converted into characters for display.
href
The href attribute is a valid URL address for another document.
This attribute is required.
hreflang
The hreflang attribute can only be used when the href attribute is also being used.
It specifies the language of the page that is the target of the link.
rel
The rel attribute is currently not fully supported by most browsers.
It is a space-separated list of one or more values that specify the relationship
from the source page to the target for a link.
Some of the proposed values are, appendix, bookmark, chapter, contents, copyright,
glossert, help, index, next, prev, section, stylesheets, and subsection.
rev
The rev attribute is currently not fully supported by most browsers.
It is a space-separated list of one or more values that specify the relationship
from the target page to the source for a link.
Perhaps the most useful value is relation.
target
The target attribute specifies the name of the frame or window in which the
target page should appear when a link is clicked.
The four reserved names are _blank, _parent, _self, and _top.
This example demonstrates the code for creating two different types of links.
Code:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="include/StylesDefinitions.css">
<link rev="relation" href="http://www.fly-by-day-computing.com">
<title> Fly-By-Night-Computing </title>
</head>
