StretchText is a hypertext feature which hasn't gain mass adoption in systems like the WWW, but which gives more control to the reader in determining what level of detail to read at. Authors write content to several levels of detail in a work. StretchText is similar to outlining, however instead of drilling down lists to greater detail, the current node is replaced with a newer node. This "stretching" to increase the amount of writing, or to contract it gives the feature it's name. This is analygous to zooming in to get more detail. Ted Nelson coined the term around 1967.

  • StretchText is a hypertext feature which hasn't gain mass adoption in systems like the WWW, but which gives more control to the reader in determining what level of detail to read at. Authors write content to several levels of detail in a work. StretchText is similar to outlining, however instead of drilling down lists to greater detail, the current node is replaced with a newer node. This "stretching" to increase the amount of writing, or to contract it gives the feature it's name. This is analygous to zooming in to get more detail. Ted Nelson coined the term around 1967. Conceptually StretchText is similar to existing hypertext system where a link provides a more descriptive or exhaustive explanation of something, but there is a key difference between a link and a piece of stretchtext. A link completely replaces the current piece of hypertext with the destination, whereas stretchtext expands or contracts the content in place. Thus the existing hypertext serves as context.
