A (Anchor Tag)
The A tag denotes an anchor - a hypertext link or the destination of a link. This section will only deal with the additional functionalities of the anchor tag created by BMC Software. For more information about the anchor tag's standard functions refer to a general HTML 4.0 reference. Contrary to the general anchor tag of the standard HTML versions, the BMC Software extended anchor tag does not use the href parameter to define links in the source file. It uses a tag called htmlfile with additional parameters and variables to pass the necessary information about to the Chilli programming language. Chilli will then translate this information into the standard href parameter.
