What is Hypertext?

The language that makes the Web work is Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). The essence of hypertext documents are links. A link is a portion of the text that connects or points to another file (or position within a file). Typically, links are indicated by different colored text and/or underlining. Graphical images can also be links. When your pointer runs over a link it becomes a hand so you know it is a link; simply click once on the linked text or graphic and you will move forward to the linked document. In addition to web pages, help files are commonly constructed as hypertext documents. Hypermedia is a subset of hypertext. This means users can access not only text, but also graphics, sounds, movies, and animation.
