The <a href="../index.html">Jeanine
Meyer's Academic Activities</a>
displays information on my current
and past courses, along with
publications and other activities.
This text will be subject to the style specified. It includes
an
a
element. Notice that the value for the
href
attribute is
a relative reference: it says: go to the parent folder of the
current folder and then to the index.html file. Two periods
(..) is computer-speak for “go back a folder level”, so if we
were in the tree/fruit/apple folder, then ../index.html would
take us back to the fruit folder to find the index file, and
../../index.html would take us back to the tree folder.
