hyperlink

hypertext A reference (link) from some point in one

hypertext document to (some point in) another document or

another place in the same document. A browser usually

displays a hyperlink in some distinguishing way, e.g. in a

different colour, font or style. When the user activates the

link (e.g. by clicking on it with the mouse) the browser

will display the target of the link.
