Lynx still has important uses, but in limited contexts. > In fact, if you look through the src/DefaultStyle.c file > at the number of spaces in the various structures, > you'll find that information very useful in understanding web pages. i'm not the slightest interested in "understanding web pages". i use Lynx for a couple of practical everyday purposes, where the actual text is important & structure largely irrelevant. sorry if i'm being a bit harsh -- it's not personal (smile) -- , but i really am irritated by the narrow-minded attitude of some replies. what's needed is a choice in lynx.cfg & the Options menu, when i can suppress the indentation & you can set it how you want. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
