hypertext

hypertext
noun /ˈhaɪpərˌtɛkst/
a) Digital text in which the reader may navigate related information through embedded hyperlinks.

We do not read hypertext the same way we read a novel, and browsing the Web is a different experience from reading a book or newspaper.

b) A hypertext document.

Further, hypertext systems, because of their ease of construction, are very rich in text, graphics and visual illustrations.

Syn: non-linear text
See Also: hyperlink
