<LINK>

The LINK element is a directive in the HEAD section of your HTML document that indicates related documents and where to find them. This is not rendered as content on your page but serves as a helper for special user-agents.

One possible use is to link to other language versions of the page. Another possible use is to provide navigation links that might be rendered as a menubar by some browsers.
