Abstract

This chapter offers recommendations for potential authors of hypertextdocuments based on the experience of designing a hypertext system and
of creating a series of substantial hypertext databases on personal
computers and larger workstations. Advice on choosing projects,
identifying useful author tool features, and structuring knowledge is
presented. Additional issues such as the design of the root document,
article size, and conversion from existing databases are covered. While
hypertext has exciting potentials, the dangers of poor design must
be overcome to create attractive and effective products.
