# This class encapsulates links.  It contains the text and the URI for
# 'a' tags parsed out of an HTML page.  If the link contains an image,
# the alt text will be used for that image.
#
# For example, the text for the following links with both be 'Hello World':
#
#   <a href="http://example">Hello World</a>
#   <a href="http://example"><img src="test.jpg" alt="Hello World"></a>
