Expectations formed by print

Electronic literature arrives on the scene after five hundred years of print literature (and, of course, even longer manuscript and oral traditions).


Readers come to digital work with expectations formed by print, including extensive and deep tacit knowledge of letter forms, print conventions, and print literary modes. Of necessity, electronic literature must build on these expectations even as it modifies and transforms them. At the same time, because electronic literature is normally created and performed within a context of networked and programmable media, it is also informed by the powerhouses of contemporary culture, particularly computer games, films, animations, digital arts, graphic design, and electronic visual culture.

Convention and language


"We must give up the idea of a clearly defined shared structure which language-users acquire and then apply to cases. And we should try again to say how convention in any important sense is involved in language; or, as I think, we should give up the attempt to illuminate how we communicate by appeal to conventions".

Presentational markup


Presentational markup is an attempt to infer document structure from cues in the encoding.


For example, in a text file, the title of a document might be preceded by several newlines and/or spaces, thus suggesting leading spacing and centering. Word-processing and desktop publishing products sometimes attempt to deduce structure from such conventions, but, as the enormous variety of Wiki plain-text conventions prove, this is, as of yet, an unresolved problem.
