Hypertext and Intertext

Hypertext is a non-linear way of presenting information using interconnected text and references (hyperlinks) that allow the reader to immediately access other related text. Hypertext documents are interconnected by hyperlinks that can be activated by clicking or touching. The World Wide Web is a global hypertext system where information resides on servers linked across the internet. Hypertext allows readers to access information suited to their needs by following hyperlinks to definitions or additional background details.

HYPERTEXT

AND
INTERTEXT
HYPERTEXT
- is a non- linear way to present information
- usually accomplished using “links”.
- is text displayed on a computer display or other electronic devices with
reference to other text that the reader can immediately access.
- documents are interconnected by hyperlinks , which are typically
activated by a mouse click key press set or by touching the screen.
Hypertext is text displayed on a 
computer display or other electronic devices with
references (hyperlinks) to other text that the
reader can immediately access.[1] Hypertext
documents are interconnected by hyperlinks,
which are typically activated by a mouse click,
keypress set, or screen touch. Apart from text,
the term "hypertext" is also sometimes used to
describe tables, images, and other
presentational content formats with integrated
hyperlinks.
 The World Wide Web (www) is a global hypertext system of information residing on servers linked across the
internet.

 The term hypertext was coined by Ted Nelson in 1963.

 Hypertext allows readers to access information particularly suited to their needs. For example, if a reader still
needs more background on a particular item that a text is discussing such as when a reader does not know a
particular term being used, the reader can choose to highlight that term and access a page that defines the term
and describes it.

 Conversely, a Uniform Resources Locator (URL), colloquially termed a web address, is a reference to a web
resource that specifices it’s location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it. URLs occur most
commonly to reference web pages (http), but are also used for file transfer (ftp), email (mailto), datebase access
(JDBC), and many other application.
Why hypertext?
• In a hypertext system, the reader is free to navigate information by exploring
the connections provided.
• Hypertext is a very different way of presenting information than the usual
linear form.
• Text no longer flows in a straight line through a book. Instead, it is broken
down into many smaller units (lexias, to borrow a term from literary
criticism), each addressing a few issues.

It acts as a bridge between two basic, opposite, and complementing elements


that may be called gender of knowledge representation: free and shortcut
