Hint

Hints allow you to provide additional context to any element in an activity.

In most cases, this will be basic text:

However, you may want to link to a web page or a shared file in your business ecosystem in this note as well.

Here, the hint starts with plain text Refer to Introduction:

Next we add

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

To break this down, we open with <a

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

Then we add href="", inserting the URL of the webpage, or file, we wish to link to between the quotation marks.

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

To make sure this opens in a new window, this is followed by target="blank", which is the instruction to open the link in a new.

<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>**

From the operator's perspective, this is what we see the following text in the hint:
