 Definitions for hypertext: WordNet (r) 2.0
:
hypertext
n : machine-readable text that is not sequential but is
organized so that related items of information are
connected; "Let me introduce the word hypertext to mean a
body of written or pictorial material interconnected in
such a complex way that it could not conveniently be
presented or represented on paper"--Ted Nelson
The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03)
:
hypertext
A term coined by Ted Nelson around 1965 for a
collection of documents (or "nodes") containing
cross-references or "links" which, with the aid of an
interactive browser program, allow the reader to move easily
from one document to another.
The extension of hypertext to include other media - sound,
graphics, and video - has been termed "hypermedia", but
is usually just called "hypertext", especially since the
advent of the {World-Wide Web} and HTML.
