Hypertext is text that provides a link to other text, which can be located on another web page, on the same page, or within a document. The prefix “hyper” means that the text has additional information other than what appears to the reader. To create hypertext special formatting code is added in the text that connects the hypertext to a new document when you click or tap on the hypertext. Hypertext is also referred to by the term “hypertext link,” since all hypertext includes a link to another location.
