Document-centered is one of the hypertext node-link models that nodes are the holders of content, and links are the means by which the content is given context. In this model, users follow the direction of the links to navigate and focus while reading.

Document-centered hypertext

Browser-based is portrayed graphically. Authors and readers interact with the hypertext using a map. In early conceptions of browser-based hypertext, boxes or other icons symbolized nodes and lines represented the links among them; hypertext browsers were oriented toward presenting a graph representation of a network.

Spacial hypertext nodes are moving more freely. Nodes are distinguished by color, shape, and size.

In hypertexts, leads will allow readers to focus on the texts and create better situational models to represent their learning.

Leads in Hypertexts

A Hyperlink is an element in a hypertext page that anchors to other hypertext pages. Users can mouse click, key press, or screen touch a hyperlink to navigate to the corresponding pages.

Although it is conventionally called "Hypertext," other types of content, such as tables, images, video, ... are usually included in hypertext pages. For this purpose, some people use the term "Hypermedia."

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.
