==Overview== Anchor text usually gives the user relevant descriptive or contextual information about the content of the link's destination. The anchor text may or may not be related to the actual text of the [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] of the link. For example, a hyperlink to the [[English Wikipedia|English-language Wikipedia]]'s [[homepage]] might take this form: :<code><nowiki><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page">Wikipedia</a></nowiki></code> "Wikipedia" is the anchor text in this example. The URL it points to is <code><nowiki>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page</nowiki></code>. The entire hyperlink appears on a web page as {{srlink|Main Page|Wikipedia}}.
