What is hypertext? It's one of those things that make the web so wonderful, but how many of us have stared into the various, intricate patterns in the rich tapestry of hypertext and pondered them? We've certainly come a long way from the 'click here' days of old. The term hypertext was coined by Ted Nelson in 1965, according to the World Wide Web Consortium. The W3C org describes hypertext as, "Hypertext is text which is not constrained to be linear. Hypertext is text which contains links to other texts." Simple, huh? Well, at least on the surface.
