<nav> Tag Examples

Examples of the nav tag in HTML 5
<nav>
   <a rel="up up" href="../../index.html">HTML 5</a>&#160;&gt;&#160;
   <a rel="up" href="../index.html">HTML Tags</a>&#160;&gt;&#160;
   <b>HTML &lt;nav&gt; tag</b>
</nav>

As shown in the example above, the value up may be specified more than once in the <a rel> attribute: rel="up" points to the parent document, rel="up up" points to the grandparent, and so forth.
