Jean Jordaan 33edc072b9 Use the correct element name in <code> blocks, gloss it seperately (#35616)
* Update link-to-external-pages-with-anchor-elements.english.md

If you write "`anchor` element" instead of "`a` element", you should also write "`hyperreference` attribute", instead of "`href` attribute".
Suggestion: write "`a` (_anchor_) element", or "anchor (`a`) element", to communicate the element name explicitly and gloss it at the same time.
The `<code>` sections should be valid code as far as possible.

* Change md to html

* Don't mark up 'anchor' as code

The tag is `a`, the name is _anchor_.

* Revert "Don't mark up 'anchor' as code"

This reverts commit 50c6a3a7c9.

* Don't mark up 'anchor' as code

The tag is `a`, the name is _anchor_.

## Description
<section id='description'>
You can use <code>a</code> (<i>anchor</i>) elements to link to content outside of your web page.
<code>a</code> elements need a destination web address called an <code>href</code> attribute. They also need anchor text. Here's an example:
<code>&#60;a href="https://freecodecamp.org">this links to freecodecamp.org&#60;/a&#62;</code>
Then your browser will display the text <strong>"this links to freecodecamp.org"</strong> as a link you can click. And that link will take you to the web address <strong>https://www.freecodecamp.org</strong>.
</section>
## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Create an <code>a</code> element that links to <code>http://freecatphotoapp.com</code> and has "cat photos" as its <code>anchor text</code>.
</section>
## Tests
<section id='tests'>
```yml
tests:
- text: Your <code>a</code> element should have the <code>anchor text</code> of "cat photos".
testString: assert((/cat photos/gi).test($("a").text()), 'Your <code>a</code> element should have the <code>anchor text</code> of "cat photos".');
- text: You need an <code>a</code> element that links to <code>http&#58;//freecatphotoapp<wbr>.com</code>
testString: assert(/http:\/\/(www\.)?freecatphotoapp\.com/gi.test($("a").attr("href")), 'You need an <code>a</code> element that links to <code>http&#58;//freecatphotoapp<wbr>.com</code>');
- text: Make sure your <code>a</code> element has a closing tag.
testString: assert(code.match(/<\/a>/g) && code.match(/<\/a>/g).length === code.match(/<a/g).length, 'Make sure your <code>a</code> element has a closing tag.');
