Questions on links

Postby Steve Comstock » Tue May 01, 2012 9:10 pm

Right now I'm writing the lecture notes for 'link' for
my class about hosting websites on the IBM mainframe.
And I "get" link types ('rel's) of alternate, icon, prefetch,
and stylesheet; but I'm baffled by types author, help,
license, next, prev, and search.

The doc says these create a hyperlink. But they reside
in the <head> section: the user never sees them to
interact with them. So here's my question: how are
these kinds of links used / activated by the user?

If the user can't drive the connection, what's the
point of those links? If they are just documentation
for the webpage creator, they could just be comments.

I've done a fair amount of searching but find no good
explanation or examples.

Well … for example opera may show additional menu for such links.

And by the way this links not for end user usually.
