What does <link> tag do besides including stylesheets?

Question

I know that the HTML tag is used for attatching stylesheets, but looking at the W3CSchools tag reference, it has many other values for the rel attribute. I\'ve looked

Answer 1

I know two prominent common uses:

• With rel="stylesheet" to reference external CSS style sheets

• With rel="favicon" to reference browser favicons

Additionally, there are

• Forward and reverse links (rel="next")

• Links to alternative resources for search engines (rel="alternate")

Check the W3C Reference: Links in HTML documents for details on stylesheet, and the latter two.
