| | Hypertext - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. | | | The development of this branch of electronic literature coincided with the growth and proliferation of hypertext development software and the emergence of electronic networks. | | | Guide was the first hypertext system for personal computers, but it was not very successful. |

| | Hypertext'87 Trip Report |
| | 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. | | | The original hypertext editing system ran in an 128 K machine timeshared with other users on a computer which was slower than a Macintosh. | | | In the long term he would assume that hypertext would become a standard inside computer systems and that all information in computers would become network/link based. |

| | Hypertext, the Next Generation: A Review and Research Agenda by Alex Soojung-Kim |
| | 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. | | | Contrary to the arguments of hypertext theorists, who see electronic media as perfectly malleable and moveable ones and zeros - content as a kind of frictionless superfluid - multimedia content is often more tightly connected to the material world of technology and software than the printed word is to the page. | | | It will also be essential for future students of hypertext to look beyond the electronic writer's garret - which has been the exclusive focus of hypertext theorists to date - and consider the work of all the varied contributors to the enterprise of electronic content creation, be they authors, editors, artists, programmers, or interface designers. |

| | 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. | | | More generally integrated hypertext features must await the fully object-oriented operating systems that are currently being developed by most leading computer vendors. | | | Several of the current practical problems with hypertext documents should be expected to be solved in the medium-term future. |

| | The better computer conferencing systems have much in common with hypertext publishing systems, though all presently lack one or more essential characteristics. | | | A bare hypertext system would become useless precisely where its content is most interesting. | | | Since they are diverse and rapidly evolving, it seems better to describe what they might become than to try to take a snapshot of their present state. |

| | John Lavagnino: "Reading, Scholarship, and Hypertext Editions" |
| | Good commercial hypertext systems exist, suitable for use in creating hypertext editions, but almost all of the worthwhile text-collation software, for example, has been written by literary scholars; and writing such software is a costly task, not one that can be slipped in around the edges. | | | What makes a hypertext system on a computer different from such a book is the provision of mechanical aids to following such links: with a book you have to leaf back and forth to get to the places where the links point, but in a computer hypertext the machine can take you there at once. | | | We must consider whether these hypertext systems are readable but not usable: performable in a way that conventional scholarly editions are not, but not usable for study in the ways that conventional editions are, or in the new ways that will be necessary with works constituted of multiple versions. |

| | The Rationale of Hypertext |
| | With hypertext, as with the Net, the separate parts of the ensemble (nodes on the Net, files in a hypertext) are independently structured units. | | | In these respects the HyperText is always structured according to some initial set of design plans that are keyed to the specific materials in the HyperText, and the imagined needs of the users of those materials. | | | Of course that is a metaphoric way of putting the matter: files in a hypertext, like documents in a library, are not active agents. |

| | Hypertext |
| | Early experience with hypertext suggests that it may ultimately yield an additional order of magnitude increase, by making directly accessible information that would otherwise be relegated to a bibliography. | | | Augmenting basic hypertext with graphics, more complex user input fields and dynamically generated documents adds considerable power and flexibility to this concept. | | | The great advantage of hypertext is that it permits readers to explore to a breadth and depth that is simply not feasible in print. |
