Thanks for the explanation.

In the following partial list, my edited link names are on the upper
line, and the new names, generated by NetSurf, are on the lower line.

iBurst Africa in Ghana: internet connection account balance
coinmill dollar / cedi
Chart for the United States Dollar and the Ghanaian Cedi: Rate Table
exchange-rates pound / cedi
Convert British Pounds (GBP) to Ghanaian Cedi (GHS) - Exchange Rates
I don't understand how NetSurf generates the new names because, since
installing r10903, I have not visited any of the links, and the data is
not present in the old Hotlist html file. eg the old Hotlist html for
the last item above is:
<li><a href="http://www.exchange-rates.org/rate/gbp/ghs";>exchange-rates
pound / cedi</a></li>
The link name generated by NetSurf appears to be the page title so,
given time, will NetSurf fetch the current page title for every link? If
so, it would seem that there is no point in editing the link name,
because NetSurf will change it back to the page title.

Thank you for the link. I had not previously seen that page.

Noted.
