- LINK
- ====
-
- ======= A visible or explicit connection established between at
- WHAT IS least one file and one or more other files. <3A263A5 FILE>
- A LINK? This connection is (as variously labelled) "built" or
- ======= "embedded" or "inserted" into a clean ASCII file by the
- hypertext builder. The links are denoted by way of
- brackets, which look like this: <>. The brackets serve
- as file name delimiters which enclose the names of
- specific files included in the system.
-
- ======= For example, when the user sees on a screen brackets
- EXAMPLE enclosing data, like this, <3A263>, it signifies that
- ======= file "3A263" is connected to this file (which is file
- 3A263A3), and hence can be accessed from this file.
-
-
-
-
-
- ====== Links can also be called "jump-point" labels or
- JUMP buttons. <3A263A1 JUMP> When the hypertext network user
- POINTS invokes a link, which is like pressing a button,
- ====== <3A263A2 INVOKE> he or she in effect "jumps" to another
- node <3A263A4 NODE> or file from the highlighted file
- names contained in the brackets.
-
- ======= For example, file <3A263> can be called the
- EXAMPLE label/button of jump-point "3A263." When jump-point
- ======= "3A263" is invoked, the computer brings up the
- information linked to the jump-point labelled "3A263";
- this file name - 3A263 - is found between the angle
- brackets.
-
- ========= In addition, any information in the angle brackets will
- HIGHLIGHT be highlighted whether or not it refers to an actual
- ========= file or node.
