<lzelement title="a">

        HTML hypertext link.
    </lzshortdesc>
    <lztag>tag-a.xml</lztag>
</lzelement>

<p>HTML hypertext link.  This tag can only occur inside XHTML
text containers such as <tagname>text</tagname>.</p>

<example>
&lt;canvas height="30"&gt;
  &lt;text&gt;A &lt;a href="http://www.openlaszlo.org" target="_blank"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/text&gt;
&lt;/canvas&gt;
</example>

<p>Unlike HTML, the text in the link is not automatically styled.  To style the text, use the <tagname>u</tagname> and <tagname>font</tagname> tags:</p>

<example>
&lt;canvas height="30"&gt;
  &lt;text&gt;
    A &lt;font color="#0000FF"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;a
      href="http://www.laszlosystems.com" target="_blank"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
  &lt;/text&gt;
&lt;/canvas&gt;
</example>
