Hypertext and Intertext
Hypertext is text
that links to other information. By clicking on a link in a hypertext document,
a user can quickly jump to different content. Though hypertext is usually
associated with Web pages, the technology has been around since the 1960s.
Software programs that include dictionaries and encyclopedias have long used
hypertext in their definitions so that readers can quickly find out more about
specific words or topics. Apple Computer's HyperCard program also used
hypertext, which allowed users to create multi-linked databases. Today, the Web
is where hypertext reigns, where nearly every page includes links to other
pages and both text and images can be used as links to more content.
Intertext is coherent
text document which is related to another text document, where “text” is
understood to mean any type of communicative content, typically forming a
connected piece of work (includes images, sounds, video, etc). For example, the
Latin Vulgate version of the Bible is related to the King James Version. Or as
another example, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is intertext to Star Wars: The
Last Jedi.
