<p><b>Hypertext</b> is text displayed on a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_display" title="Computer display" class="mw-redirect">computer display</a> or other <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_devices" title="Electronic devices" class="mw-redirect">electronic devices</a> with references (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlinks" title="Hyperlinks" class="mw-redirect">hyperlinks</a>) to other text which the reader can immediately access, or where text can be revealed progressively at multiple levels of detail (also called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StretchText" title="StretchText">StretchText</a>). The hypertext pages are interconnected by hyperlinks, typically activated by a <b>mouse click</b>, <b>keypress sequence</b> or by <b>touching the screen</b>. Hypertext is the underlying concept defining the structure of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web" title="World Wide Web">World Wide Web</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a></sup> with pages often written in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Markup_Language" title="Hypertext Markup Language" class="mw-redirect">Hypertext Markup Language</a> (aka HTML). It enables an easy-to-use and flexible connection and sharing of information over the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet" title="Internet">Internet</a>.</p>
<p>In 1941, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jorge_Luis_Borges" title="Jorge Luis Borges">Jorge Luis Borges</a> created "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Garden_of_Forking_Paths" title="The Garden of Forking Paths">The Garden of Forking Paths</a>", a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_story" title="Short story">short story</a> that is often considered an inspiration for the concept of hypertext.<sup id="cite_ref-inspiration_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-inspiration-2"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p>In 1945, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vannevar_Bush" title="Vannevar Bush">Vannevar Bush</a> wrote an article in <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Atlantic_Monthly" title="The Atlantic Monthly" class="mw-redirect">The Atlantic Monthly</a></i> called "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_We_May_Think" title="As We May Think">As We May Think</a>", about a futuristic proto-hypertext device he called a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memex" title="Memex">Memex</a>. This was a microfiche that stopped where you told it to, but not a punctuation nor a network document standard.</p>
<p>In 1963, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Nelson" title="Ted Nelson">Ted Nelson</a> coined the terms 'hypertext' and 'hypermedia' in a model he developed for creating and using linked content (first published reference 1965).<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span>[</span>4<span>]</span></a></sup> He later worked with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andries_van_Dam" title="Andries van Dam">Andries van Dam</a> to develop the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Editing_System" title="Hypertext Editing System">Hypertext Editing System</a> (text editing) in 1967 at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_University" title="Brown University">Brown University</a>. Ted Nelson said in the 1960s that he began implementation of a hypertext system he theorized which was named <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Xanadu" title="Project Xanadu">Project Xanadu</a>, but his first and incomplete public release was finished much later, in 1998.<sup id="cite_ref-wiredwired_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-wiredwired-3"><span>[</span>3<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
