written. It allows the images to be combined with text and offers wide range of
formatting capabilities. One of the most important features of HTML is

Hypermedia expands the hypertext concept to embrace all digital
media. The WWW is a hypermedia environment because it allows
multiple media types to all be available in the same document.
Hyperspace
Hyperspace refers to the total number of individual locations and
all of their interconnections in a hypertext environment. It also
connotes a perceived sense of this potentially confusing totality.
Hyperspace can be considered the hypertextual or architectural
aspect of cyberspace, a term that has even richer connotations.
Hypertext
Text that can be read in a non-linear fashion, by following a series

for hypertext include reference works such as encyclopedias or
dictionaries, where interesting or useful explanations of
highlighted words in the text can be reached by clicking on them
with a mouse.
Hz / Hertz
Hertz is a unit of frequency of one cycle per second. Broadcast
transmission is at much higher frequency rates, usually expressed in
kilohertz (KHz) or megahertz (MHz).

year.Minimize your website expenses
