The '''Hypertext Editing System''', or '''HES''', was an early [[hypertext]] research project conducted at [[Brown University]] in 1967 by [[Andries van Dam]], [[Ted Nelson]], and several Brown students<ref>Brown University Department of Computer Science, 23 May 2019. [http://cs.brown.edu/events/halfcenturyofhypertext/ A Half-Century of Hypertext at Brown]</ref>. It was the first hypertext system available on commercial equipment that novices could use.<ref>[http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/vol/4/1/000081/000081.html Belinda Barnet. Crafting the User-Centered Document Interface: The Hypertext Editing System (HES) and the File Retrieval and Editing System (FRESS)]</ref>
HES organized data into two main types: links and branching text. The branching text could automatically be arranged into menus and a point within a given area could also have an assigned name, called a label, and be accessed later by that name from the screen. Although HES pioneered many modern hypertext concepts, its emphasis was on text formatting and printing.
