Hypertext Types

The Markup Language that hypertext pages are written in.

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)

> "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. It signifies the overcoming of the previous linear constraints of written text.

> "'Hyper-' is used in the mathematical sense of extension and generality (as in 'hyperspace,' 'hypercube') rather than the medical sense of 'excessive' ('hyperactivity'). There is no implication about size— a hypertext could contain only 500 words or so. 'Hyper-' refers to structure and not size."

Hypertext Etymology

Hypertext is the infrastructure of the content on the World Wide Web, where often webpages are Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) files.
