<p>The <code title=rel-alternate><a href=#link-type-alternate>alternate</a></code> keyword may be
used with <code><a href=#the-link-element>link</a></code>, <code><a href=#the-a-element>a</a></code>, and <code><a href=#the-area-element>area</a></code>
elements. For <code><a href=#the-link-element>link</a></code> elements, if the <code title=attr-link-rel><a href=#attr-link-rel>rel</a></code> attribute does not also contain the
keyword <code title=rel-stylesheet><a href=#link-type-stylesheet>stylesheet</a></code>, it creates a
<a href=#hyperlink-link title="hyperlink link">hyperlink</a>; but if it
<em>does</em> also contain the keyword <code title=rel-stylesheet><a href=#link-type-stylesheet>stylesheet</a></code>, the <code title=rel-alternate><a href=#link-type-alternate>alternate</a></code> keyword instead modifies the
meaning of the <code title=rel-stylesheet><a href=#link-type-stylesheet>stylesheet</a></code>
keyword in the way described for that keyword, and the rest of this
subsection doesn't apply.</p>

<p>The <code title=rel-alternate><a href=#link-type-alternate>alternate</a></code> keyword
indicates that the referenced document is an alternate
representation of the current document.</p>

<p>The nature of the referenced document is given by the <code title=attr-hyperlink-media><a href=#attr-hyperlink-media>media</a></code>, <code title=attr-hyperlink-hreflang><a href=#attr-hyperlink-hreflang>hreflang</a></code>, and <code title=attr-hyperlink-type><a href=#attr-hyperlink-type>type</a></code> attributes.</p>

<p>If the <code title=rel-alternate><a href=#link-type-alternate>alternate</a></code> keyword is
used with the <code title=attr-hyperlink-media><a href=#attr-hyperlink-media>media</a></code>

<p>If the <code title=rel-alternate><a href=#link-type-alternate>alternate</a></code> keyword is
used with the <code title=attr-hyperlink-hreflang><a href=#attr-hyperlink-hreflang>hreflang</a></code>
attribute, and that attribute's value differs from the <a href=#root-element>root
element</a>'s <a href=#language>language</a>, it indicates that the
referenced document is a translation.</p>
<p>The meaning of this keyword depends on the values of the other
attributes.</p>

modifies the meaning of the <code title=rel-stylesheet><a href=#link-type-stylesheet>stylesheet</a></code> keyword in the way
