	Hypertext - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Therefore, a well-constructed hypertext system can encompass, incorporate or supersede many other user interface paradigms like menus and command lines, and can be used to access both static collections of cross-referenced documents and interactive applications.
		Foreshadowing hypertext was a simple technique used in various reference works (dictionaries, encyclopedias, etc.), consisting of setting a term in small capital letters, as an indication that an entry or article existed for that term (within the same reference work).
		Nelson coined the word "hypertext" in 1965 and helped Andries van Dam develop the Hypertext Editing System in 1968 at Brown University; Engelbart had begun working on his NLS system in 1962 at Stanford Research Institute, although delays in obtaining funding, personnel and equipment meant that its key features were not completed until 1968.

	Future of Hypertext 1998-2015 (As Predicted in 1995)
		The simulation is hooked into the hypertext system in such a way that the user can jump from the simulated information about a state to the actual historical information about a state to understand why the voters in that state have reacted as they have to the candidate's speeches.
		There are also hypertext links from the meetings with various possible supporters and famous people in the simulation to the hypertext's information about these people and from the issues in the simulation to the discussion about these issues in the real election.
		The professor may claim that there was a hypertext link to the information in question, but the students may be justified in their counter-claim that the link was almost invisible and not likely to be found by a person who was not already an expert in the subject matter.

		The direct benefits of using a hypertext publishing medium should bring emergent benefits, helping to form intellectual communities, to build consensus, and to extend the range and efficiency of intellectual effort.
		Hypertext publishing must support links across a distributed network of machines, and these links must be visible regardless of the wishes of the linked-to author.
		First Amendment rights in hypertext publishing, we should recognize that the participants are authors, publishers, libraries, and readers; we should avoid commercial terms such as information providers, vendors, and buyers.

	Hypertext, the Next Generation: A Review and Research Agenda by Alex Soojung-Kim (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		"Hypertext" is not just an abstract or theoretical term: its primary writers speak of it as a real technology, and base their predictions on the assumption that most, or all, of what they describe already exists.
		Hypertexts are accessed by readers via a computer, and they often use software that is identical - or possesses many of the same properties - to that used by authors.
		Hypertext theory is thus entirely correct to say that the concept of the solitary author is a construct based on patterns of labor, ideas about intellectual property, and the relationship between publication and professional advancement.

	The Rationale of Hypertext
		Hypertexts allow one to navigate through large masses of documents and to connect these documents, or parts of the documents, in complex ways.
		HyperText provides the means for establishing an indefinite number of "centers", and for expanding their number as well as altering their relationships.
		With hypertext, as with the Net, the separate parts of the ensemble (nodes on the Net, files in a hypertext) are independently structured units.

	Hypertext
		Hypertext, made famous by the World Wide Web, is most simply a way of constructing documents that reference other documents.
		Hypertext's original idea was to take advantage of electronic data processing to organize large quantities of information that would otherwise overwhelm a reader.
		Hypertext's limiting factor appears not to be the physical size of some books, but rather the ability of the reader to navigate increasingly complex search structures.

		Hypertext gives us a goto link which we know from software engineering gives "spaghetti." van Dam noted that it could be that we have also discovered the equivalent of if-then-else in the form of hierarchies, but we also need new forms of flow of control in structures that users recognize.
		Also, in hypertext the burden of deciding when to read what has been moved from the writer to the reader even though structuring the material is one of the most important functions of an author.

	John Lavagnino: "Reading, Scholarship, and Hypertext Editions"
		Other literary scholars assemble hypertexts that are intended only as teaching aids, seldom as research tools; literary critics often talk about hypertext, but very few have taken it seriously enough that they've abandoned print and started publishing their work in hypertextual form only.
		Hypertext editions of the kind I'm going to discuss have a specifically textual focus because they're all prepared to deal with more than one version of a work--with variants of individual words and passages, or with whole variant texts.
		Hypertext editions have sought to make it possible for readers to perform all versions of a work, an action that was not possible with most printed editions.
