<apex:outputLink>
A link to a URL. This component is rendered in HTML as an anchor tag with an href attribute. Like its HTML equivalent, the body of an < apex:outputLink > is the text or image that displays as the link. To add query string parameters to a link, use nested < apex:param > components.
<apex:outputLink value="https://www.salesforce.com" id="theLink">www.salesforce.com</apex:outputLink>
This tag supports following attributes:

coords
|
The position and shape of the hot spot on the screen used for the output link (for use in client-side image maps). The number and order of comma-separated values depends on the shape being defined. For example, to define a rectangle, use coords="left-x, top-y, right-x, bottom-y". To define a circle, use coords="center-x, center-y, radius". To define a polygon, use coords="x1, y1, x2, y2, ..., xN, yN", where x1 = nN and y1 = yN. Coordinates can be expressed in pixels or percentages, and represent the distance from the top-left corner of the image that is mapped. See also the shape attribute.
