WHAT DOES HYPERTEXT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

hypertext

Hypertext

Hypertext is text displayed on a computer display or other electronic devices with references to other text which the reader can immediately access, or where text can be revealed progressively at multiple levels of detail. The hypertext pages are interconnected by hyperlinks, typically activated by a mouse click, keypress sequence or by touching the screen. Apart from text, hypertext is sometimes used to describe tables, images and other presentational content forms with hyperlinks. Hypertext is the underlying concept defining the structure of the World Wide Web, with pages often written in the Hypertext Markup Language. It enables an easy-to-use and flexible connection and sharing of information over the Internet. Note how hypertext is not just flat text with highlights or paragraphs omitted during display, but rather, the text is hyper-structured with hyperlinks or other structures embedded inside a page, including hidden search words, to control the display and connection with other pages or hypertext nodes.

4 QUOTES WITH «HYPERTEXT»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word hypertext.
1
Robert Cailliau
The Web is actually a coming together of three technologies, if you like: the hypertext, the personal computer, and the network. So, the network we had, and the personal computers were there, but people didn't use them, because they didn't know what to use them for, except maybe for a few games.
2
Robert Cailliau
What is hypertext? It is a method of giving a text more depth, structuring it, and letting the computer help you explore it. Links, like we know today - you see some blue underlined word and you click on it and it takes you somewhere else. That's the simplest definition of hypertext.
3
Ted Nelson
So, that notion of hypertext seemed to me immediately obvious because footnotes were already the ideas wriggling, struggling to get free, like a cat trying to get out of your arms.

Thomas Watson, Jr.
The serendipitous nature of hypertext links is just brilliant for a curious mind. I love it.
