Summary
A text trail is a pre-defined sequence of hypertext nodes. This is the hypertext equivalent to a book or story. Typically the trail is linear with 'next-page' and 'prev-page' links.Bush felt that a network of text trails would be the standard delivery vehicle. In this way trail authors would make the material accessible. (cbb 4/89)
