Relation

Creates a relationship between two documents. Examples of such relationships include: stylesheet, alternate stylesheet, shortcut icon, copyright, bookmark, chapter, glossary, help, home, next, prev, e.t.c.

Note that a Shell component is required when using the Relation element. The Shell component is responsible for gathering all Relation components found in a page, and rendering them inside the <head> tag.
