In computing, a hyperlink (or link) is a reference to data that the reader can directly follow, or that is followed automatically.[1] A hyperlink points to a whole document or to a specific element within a document. Hypertext is text with hyperlinks. A software system for viewing and creating hypertext is a hypertext system, and to create a hyperlink is to hyperlink (or simply to link). A user following hyperlinks is said to navigate or browse the hypertext.

A hyperlink has an anchor, which is the location within a certain type of a document from which the hyperlink can be followed only from the homepage; the document containing a hyperlink is known as its source code document. For example, in an online reference work such as Wikipedia, many words and terms in the text are hyperlinked to definitions of those terms. Hyperlinks are often used to implement reference mechanisms, such as tables of contents, footnotes, bibliographies, indexes, letters, and glossaries.

In some hypertext, hyperlinks can be bidirectional: they can be followed in two directions, so both ends act as anchors and as targets. More complex arrangements exist, such as many-to-many links.

The effect of following a hyperlink may vary with the hypertext system and may sometimes depend on the link itself; for instance, on the World Wide Web, most hyperlinks cause the target document to replace the document being displayed, but some are marked to cause the target document to open in a new window. Another possibility is transclusion, for which the link target is a document fragment that replaces the link anchor within the source document. Not only persons browsing the document follow hyperlinks; they may also be followed automatically by programs. A program that traverses the hypertext, following each hyperlink and gathering all the retrieved documents is known as a Web spider or crawler.

Why do so many World Wide Webs terms begin with hyper?

HTTP : Hyper-text tranfert protocol HTML : Hyper-text markup language In most of those terms, you find "hyper-text". Hyper comes from the greek and means "superior at". So, "hyper-text" is superior than text, in the sense that it has other functions such as markup (color, bold, italic…). HTTP is a protocol to transfert hyper-text, and HTML is a language to define the theses functions : <b> for bold, <i> for italic… Hyper-card, hyper-link… are other words with "hyper", so : hyper-links are superior than juste links : because you have (on a screen) to clic on it and that provides you the linked information instantly (wheareas a link in a book is only the link, eg: number of the line, a page).
