You need to use <a> (anchor) not the <link> tag.

<link> is basically metadata to include things like preloading and stylesheets

<a href="/path/to/file.html">This is a link</a>

this would create a clickable link that will bring you to another page

@paulinbacana ohh.. do you mean like copying and pasting the file into index.html?

You can:

use a web framework like ejs or danjo (requires extra setup)
use some Javascript:

// this is the element to put the HTML in
const element = document.querySelector('body');


// this will fetch the HTML from the file and then put it inside that element
fetch('/path/to/file.html').then(async r => {
  element.innerHTML = await r.text();
});

Uh no... you can put all your html in one file. If you want to use html extending like you seem to be trying to do here, you can use a web framework, like flask or django, and use html extending from there.

@LAMAQDAHODWALA I don't know how to do this, so i'm thinking to put the body tag in the index.html file
