What is hypertext

Hypertext and writing Hypertext and writing: An overview of the hypertext mediumby IntroductionThere is literally a glut of information available about hypertext. Hundreds of articles announce and hail the "phenomena" of hypertext--a system of non-sequential writing. But most seem to be caught up in the technology of hypertext. Many books talk about the development of the software and hardware, while magazine articles proclaim the glories of the latest hypertext software system. There's quite a bit of theorizing about the applications of hypertext to education, and even making analogies to literary issues (such as an essay by John Slatin in "Text, Context and Hypertext" that calls hypertext a "literary concept," citing problems similar to intertextuality in poetry). Quite honestly, though, not much has been written on how to write for this new medium. Besides trying to overcome the mechanics of "marking up" documents to appear properly in hypertext, professional writers should be equally, if not more concerned over the application of their writing to this different medium. After all, we know that writing a movie script requires a much different style and approach than if we were going to write a novel. Why then, should we not investigate this concept of writing for hypertext as well? In this article, I have attempted to answer some common questions about hypertext, specifically for writers not familiar with the medium. But readers familiar with the concept, history, and re...

With URL is one of the key concepts of the Web. It is the mechanism used by URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. A URL is nothing more than the address of a given unique resource on the Web. In theory, each valid URL points to a unique resource. Such resources can be an HTML page, a CSS document, an image, etc. In practice, there are some exceptions, the most common being a URL pointing to a resource that no longer exists or that has moved. As the resource represented by the URL and the URL itself are handled by the Web server, it is up to the owner of the web server to carefully manage that resource and its associated URL. Here are some examples of URLs: https://developer.mozilla.org https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/ https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=URL Any of those URLs can be typed into your browser's address bar to tell it to load the associated page (resource).
