this may well be a good idea, but it feels like much of norm's problem was that the relevant configuration is done at build time. if the default mhshow-show-text/html entry pointed to a helper script, rather than to a specific browser, that script could search for and run an appropriate browser at run-time, probably using the same list we currently look through at build time. (how do pre-built nmh packages handle this? simply with dependencies on the necessary text browsers? if we were to provide our own simple renderer as lyndon suggests, those dependencies could become suggestions.) paul > > It performs *very* basic rendering of HTML, but in practice it > seems to work well enough to get the gist of the message across. > > http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/1/fmt > > Note that there are patches available that address the table > formatting bug. > > --lyndon > > > _______________________________________________ > Nmh-workers mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers =---------------------- paul fox, [email protected] (arlington, ma, where it's 66.4 degrees) _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
