%0 Journal Article %J Technical Reports of the Computer Science Department %D 1998 %T Reflections on authoring, editing and managing hypertex %A Shneiderman, Ben %K Technical Report %X 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.
