Hi, The text-mode web browser w3m does a nice job of indenting threaded comments in the "Hacker News" forum (whereas ELinks displays these comments flat with no indentation).
This indenting shows up nicely when running w3m in the Linux console, but not so well when launching w3m inside a GNU Screen tty inside a Linux console. In that case there is some indentation, but after maybe one or two levels, the comments become flat. Try for example: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1540036 Any ideas as to why w3m doesn't work so well in this regard where $TERM=screen.linux , but does better where $TERM=linux ? Within an xterm the comments & indenting show up fine regardless of whether w3m is running inside GNU Screen or not. Also, `w3m -dump` behaves this way (some indentation, but after one or two levels the comments become flat) regardless of whether $TERM= linux, screen.linux, xterm or screen. I posted a question about this to the w3m list a while back [1] but didn't receive a reply, so I thought I'd check here to try and get an idea of how Screen might be affecting w3m's rendering of these threaded comments.
