The digital medium, especially after the combined development of hypertext and large-scale computer networks, has led to the creation of literary genres that are specifically digital, i.e., genres that adopt the properties of the software and of the means of computational display as structural elements of poetic and narrative forms. Moreover, the digital medium has enabled authors to formalize the intra-textual and inter-textual connections, and it has also permitted the development of certain textual virtualities that are inherent to various typographical genres.
