<a href="just a template">here you can make a title for the link< /a>

My first impulse was I'm afraid patronizing . . . until I remembered that I posted for years before I learned how to do links. And I still don't do images.

Note that I've displayed the < symbol above in quoting DainBramage; ordinarily you might get into trouble doing that because the HTML parser would try to do something with it - like trying to make a literal link to "just a template." The reason I'm sure of getting the < to display is that what you see is not what I typed in but rather an HTML code for it. That code is &lt; (makes sense, because "lt" stands for "less than," which is what the"<" symbol stands for).

. . . and how did I get HTML to display &lt; as such rather than as < ? Why, by using the &amp; code to display the & for you. I think that there are many other "& . . . ;" HTML codes; I mostly only use &lt; - in things like </sarcasm> tags. The &gt; symbol also is properly be used to display >, - but I find that HTML doesn't usually give any trouble with > if it isn't preceded by <.
