Basic HTML and HTML5: Link to External Pages with Anchor Elements

Contributors

On the anchor element intro page, it says:

The text, “link to freecodecamp.org”, within the anchor element called anchor text, will display a link to click:
link to freecodecamp.org

This sentence is a bit of a mess. It would be best corrected thusly:
“The text “link to freecodecamp.org” (found between the opening and closing tags: ) is called “anchor text”, and it will be displayed as a link to click:”

Segue: Why didn’t W3C call it link text instead? :wink:

FreeCodeCamp’s issues tracker would be a better place for suggestions like this. Posts on the forum aren’t actionable and there isn’t a lot of crossover between the people who are in charge of the forum and the people in charge of the code base. Just make sure to search the issues before creating a new one.
