To break this down, we open with <a
<a href="https://web.mst.edu/~cottrell/ME240/Resources/Temperature/Temperature.pdf" target="blank" >Introduction</a>\

<a href="https://web.mst.edu/~cottrell/ME240/Resources/Temperature/Temperature.pdf" target="blank" >Introduction</a>

<a href="https://web.mst.edu/~cottrell/ME240/Resources/Temperature/Temperature.pdf" target="blank" > Introduction</a>
We then close this off with >
<a href="https://web.mst.edu/~cottrell/ME240/Resources/Temperature/Temperature.pdf" target="blank" > Introduction</a>
Next, we add the text that will display. In this case the word Introduction
<a href="https://web.mst.edu/~cottrell/ME240/Resources/Temperature/Temperature.pdf" target="blank" > Introduction</a>
Then finally close out the link with </a>
<a href="https://web.mst.edu/~cottrell/ME240/Resources/Temperature/Temperature.pdf" target="blank" > Introduction**</a>**
