<link> Defines a resource reference
Mostly placed in the <head> section, the <link> indicates the relationship between two linked documents. The link element is regularly an empty element, it contains only attributes.
Note that this element must be properly closed.

For example, <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /> is defined the link to external stylesheet.
