Beverly Kolosseus New Mexico State University ; Dan Bauer New Mexico State University ; Stephen A. Bernhardt New Mexico State University

It examines the new grammar and rhetoric of hypertext, discusses the importance of document planning within an emergent design, and argues for a functional aesthetic.
