The term "hypertext" is often used where the term "hypermedia" might seem appropriate. It signifies the overcoming of the previous linear constraints of written text. It enables an easy-to-use and flexible connection and sharing of information over the Internet.Įtymology The English prefix hyper- comes from the Greek prefix "ὑπερ-" and means "over" or "beyond" it has a common origin with the prefix "super-" which comes from Latin. Hypertext is the underlying concept defining the structure of the World Wide Web. Apart from text, hypertext is sometimes used to describe tables, images and other presentational content forms with hyperlinks.
