lynx does a couple things frustrating when entering text and I wondered whether there are any thoughts on ways around them.
1. lynx decides to break long text lines. This sometimes causes problems with the resulting html page. For instance, on wiki.tcl.tk, text on one long line can be formatted as a bulleted (numbered, for instance) paragraph. Breaking the text breaks the paragraph numbering... 2. Just recently, I've begun to notice that, when entering a textarea containing text, making a change, and then submitting it (via post) for update, the resulting block sent sometimes has additional white space added. Now, again talking about wiki.tcl.tk, leading white space is significant for formatting. Another issue is that the change then shows up as if I had added the spaces when someone looks at the revision history. Here's a diff from a change this morning. I made the first change intentionally - lynx made the remaining changes: :q srv29 (14211) $ ls -l ~/*.2? /home/lwv27/*.2?: No such file or directory srv29 (14212) $ ls ~ 15280.txt.20.txt X-backgrounds l032 --- /home/lwv27/15280.txt.20.txt Thu Jun 21 10:12:36 2007 +++ /home/lwv27/15280.txt.21.txt Thu Jun 21 10:12:25 2007 @@ -9,3 +9,3 @@ -[http://mini.net/files/e2.jpg] +[http://tclerswiki.googlepages.com/e2.jpg] @@ -128,9 +128,9 @@ set x [.t.t get 1.0 "end - 1c"] - set y {} + set y {} #26Apr2007,gold - foreach l [split $x "\n"] { - set space " " - set y "$y $space $l\n" - } - .t.t insert @0,0 $y + foreach l [split $x "\n"] { + set space " " ] { + set y "$y $space $l\n" + } + .t.t insert @0,0 $y } ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ -- Tcl - The glue of a new generation. <URL: http://wiki.tcl.tk/ > Larry W.
