Internal links on a wiki owe a debt to Ted Nelson.
'''Ted Nelson''' was one of the pioneers of [[software engineering]], taking the interests of users to heart with an unmatched passion, plenty of common sense and a keen focus on good design. His book ''Computer Lib'' is considered a classic in the field.

Nelson coined the term "[[hypertext]]", building on Vannevar Bush's original idea (see [[memex]]), and which led to Apple Computer's [[HyperCard]]. But he disliked the one-way links of [[HTML]] and spent the bulk of his professional life on his proposed [[Xanadu]] system.
