Hypertext

Hypertext is viewed as a system for linking related text documents that allows the participation of multiple users [3]. It represents a new, non-linear form of writing and reading, in which readers are engaged as active creators of meaning [2]. Hypertext is obviously very intertextual as not only websites are linked together by portions of text on each page, the information on the pages is expected to conform and agree with information on other pages [1]. Hypertext is also viewed as a set of messages that are united by a common topic and differ in a source and time of allocating on the Web, with transitions from one message to another being supported technically. It integrates the links of various media, such as sites, television channels, radio broadcasts, and social networks. Hypertext can be static (prepared and stored in advance) or dynamic (continually changing in response to user input).
