Hi Vineet Ji HyperText is the method by which you move around on the web — by clicking on special text called hyperlinks which bring you to the next page. The fact that it is hyper just means it is not linear — i.e. you can go to any place on the Internet whenever you want by clicking on links — there is no set order to do things in. Markup is what HTML tags do to the text inside them. They mark it as a certain type of text ( italicised text for example). HTML is a Language  as it has code-words and syntax like any other language. Refer the below link http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/starthere/whatishtml.html Thanks

The article that Satyapriya Nayak refers to seems inaccurate to me. It says that the fact that it is hyper just means it is not linear but I cannot find any authoritative that says that. See hyper and Hyper . The hyper article says that hyper- means over above.
