   HyperTalk
  
      A verbose semicompiled language by Bill Atkinson and Dan
      Winkler, with loose {syntax} and high readability.
  
      HyperTalk uses {HyperCard} as an object management system,
      development environment and interface builder.   Programs are
      organised into "stacks" of "cards", each of which may have
      "buttons" and "fields".   All data storage is in
      zero-terminated strings in fields, local, or global variables;
      all data references are through "chunk expressions" of the
      form:
  
      'last item of background field
      "Name List" of card ID 34217'.
  
      Flow of control is {event-driven} and uses message-passing
      among scripts that are attached to stack, background, card,
      field and button objects.
  
      {Apple Computer} has taken back distribution and maintenance of
      HyperCard from {Claris} Corporation
  
      ["HyperTalk Language Reference Manual", A-W 1988].

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   hypertext
  
      A term coined by Ted Nelson around 1965 for a
      collection of documents (or "nodes") containing
      cross-references or "links" which, with the aid of an
      interactive {browser} program, allow the reader to move easily
      from one document to another.
  
      The extension of hypertext to include other media - {sound},
      {graphics}, and {video} - has been termed "{hypermedia}", but
      is usually just called "hypertext", especially since the
      advent of the {World-Wide Web} and {HTML}.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Hypertext Markup Language
  
      (HTML) A {hypertext}
      document format used on the {World-Wide Web}.   HTML is built
      on top of {SGML}.   "Tags" are embedded in the text.   A tag
      consists of a "<", a "directive" (case insensitive), zero or
      more parameters and a ">".   Matched pairs of directives, like
      "" and "" are used to delimit text which is to
      appear in a special place or style.
  
      Links to other documents are in the form
  
         foo
  
      where "A" and "/A" delimit an "anchor", "HREF" introduces a
      hypertext reference, which is most often a {Uniform Resource
      Locator} (URL) (the string in double quotes in the example
      above).   The link will be represented in the browser by the
      text "foo" (typically shown underlined and in a different
      colour).
  
      A certain place within an HTML document can be marked with a
      named anchor, e.g.:
  
        
  
      The "fragment identifier", "baz", can be used in an HREF by
      appending "#baz" to the document name.
  
      Other common tags include

for a new paragraph, ..
      for bold text,

    for an unnumbered list,
     for
          preformated text,

    ,

    ..

    for headings.
      
          {HTML} supports some standard {SGML} {national characters} and
          other non-{ASCII} characters through special {escape
          sequences}, e.g. "é" for a lower case 'e' with an acute
          accent.   You can sometimes get away without the terminating
          semicolon but it's bad style.
      
          The {World-Wide Web Consortium} (W3C) is the international
          {standards} body for HTML.

      (HTTP) The {client-server} {TCP/IP} {protocol} used

      Current version: HTTP 1.1, defined in {RFC 2068}, as of May

   HyperText Transmission Protocol, Secure
  
      (HTTPS) A variant of {HTTP} used by {Netscape} for
      handling secure transactions.
  
      The {Netscape Navigator} supports a {URL} {access method},
      "https", for connecting to {HTTP} {server}s using {SSL}.
  
      "https" is a unique protocol that is simply {SSL} underneath
      {HTTP}.   You need to use "https://" for HTTP {URL}s with
      {SSL}, whereas you continue to use "http://" for HTTP URLs
      without SSL.   The default "https" {port} number is 443, as
      assigned by the {Internet Assigned Numbers Authority}.
