What is type Attribute in HTML <link> Tag?

With the `type` attribute, we can set the media type of the target document set in the `href` attribute.

This type then helps browsers to know how to deal with the target document (interpretation and display)

For example, if the type of the target document is CSS, then we set the value of this attribute to “text/css”.

HTML type Attribute in <link> Tag Syntax:
