< a href="url" >text< /a >

Where:
url is the URL to which the link points;
text is the text of the link, which will appear blue & underlined [1] in the browser

But leave out the spaces after each '<' and before each '>'

If you want to quote a URL and have it as a "live" link, the url and text would be the same.

Some examples (in MSIE, use 'View Source' to see the "raw" HTML):
