If you can set the WWW_HOME environment variable, lynx will use that as the startfile. If you can edit your lynx.cfg file, you can specify the startfile in that, as in: STARTFILE:http://thesitethatyouwant.com I suppose a command line method would be something like entering WWW_HOME='http://thesitethatyouwant.com'; lynx on the command line or exporting the WWW_HOME environment variable from your .profile or .bash_profile i.e. ensuring that the line export WWW_HOME='http://thesitethatyouwant.com' is in your .profile (or wherever bash looks for environment variables), in which case when you launch lynx it will go to that site There is also an option to launch lynx with the '-book' switch which will use the bookmark page (if set) as the startfile.

The address https://m.medicalxpress.com/page2.html opens fine for me in lynx here. A link on that page, titled "load more", appears to add the './', leading to a 404.

Thank you. My lynx shows: Lynx Version 2.8.9rel.1 (08 Jul 2018) libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 1.0.2p, ncurses 5.7.20081102 So it seems I have a slightly newer version openssl than you. You could try compiling lynx against a newer version of openssl. If openssl is installed by your linux distribution's package manager, you could check and see if there is a newer version available, and recompile lynx. Otherwise, I imagine that you would have to download and compile openssh, and point lynx to that during lynx compilation.

You should be able to toggle between lynx's TagSoup and SortaSGML rendering with ^V (ctrl-V) (by default, unless it has been remapped.) I can interact with the links under "Featured Blog Posts" with TAGSOUP enabled, I can not interact with them with it disabled.

To recap: I understand your issue to be an inability to interact with certain links, examples of which can be found under "Featured Blog Posts" on the page at https://digital.canada.ca/.

From Lynx_users_guide.html, which can be found online at http://lynx.invisible-island.net/lynx_help/Lynx_users_guide.html if it is not available to your local lynx installation HTML error recovery Lynx often has to deal with invalid HTML markup. It always tries to recover from errors, but there is no universally correct way for doing this. As a result, there are two parsing modes: "SortaSGML" attempts to enforce valid nesting of most tags at an earlier stage of processing, while "TagSoup" relies more on the HTML rendering stage to mimic the behavior of some other browsers. You can also switch between these modes with the CTRL-V key, and the default can be changed in lynx.cfg or with the -tagsoup command line switch. The "SortaSGML" mode will often appear to be more strict, and makes some errors apparent that are otherwise unnoticeable. One particular difference is the handling of block elements or .. inside ... Invalid nesting like this may turn anchors into hidden links which cannot be easily followed, this is avoided in "TagSoup" mode. See the [62]help on following links by number for more information on hidden links. Often pages may be more readable in "TagSoup" mode, but sometimes the opposite is true. Most documents with valid HTML, and documents with only minor errors, should be rendered the same way in both modes. If you are curious about what goes on behind the scenes, but find that the information from the -trace switch is just too much, Lynx can be started with the -preparsed switch; going into SOURCE mode (“\” key) and toggling the parsing mode (with CTRL-V) should then show some of the differences. see also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_soup ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev

Version (as per config output) appears to be 6.0.20160910; homebrew (osx package manager) unhelpfully just puts it in a dir named '6.0_3', which I read it from! ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
[Lynx-dev] Lynx 2.8.9dev.12 - entered link numbers don't echo to screen
Hi
I built and installed Lynx 2.8.9dev.12 (on Darwin, OS X "Yosemite"
10.10.5) this morning.
Entering a link number opens the
'Follow link (or goto link or page) number:'
dialog, but without 'pre-filling' it with the number that has been
entered. All subsequently entered numbers do not echo to the dialog
prompt. Hitting return selects the entered link number correctly.
configure and make output follow...
(ncurses is version 6.0_3)

[Lynx-dev] -xhtml-parsing vs -xhtml_parsing
Hi (Lynx 2.8.9dev.11) As per `man lynx`, -xhtml_parsing should work: -xhtml_parsing tells Lynx that it can ignore certain tags which have no content in an XHTML 1.0 document. For example "" will be discarded. $ lynx -xhtml_parsing http://lynx.invisible-island.net/current/ lynx: Invalid Option: -xhtml_parsing USAGE: lynx [options] [file] Options are: ... ... -xhtml-parsingenable XHTML 1.0 parsing (off) I imagine that it would be 'better' to get -xhtml_parsing working correctly, rather than simply amend man page to include -xhtml-parsing, as all(?) other options seem to be -foo_bar, not -baz-qux. That said, however, -xhtml-parsing seems to date from 2008-09-21 (2.8.7dev.10) (in CHANGES), so perhaps the intention is to use hyphen, not underscore? ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
Re: [Lynx-dev] options

Look in lynx.cfg (which is in ~/.lynx/ on my machine) for the ENABLE_LYNXRC options. From the preamble to those options: # The forms-based O'ptions menu shows a (!) marker beside items which # are not saved to ~/.lynxrc -- the reason for disabling some of # these items is that they are likely to cause confusion if they are # read from the .lynxrc file for each session. However, they can be # enabled or disabled using the ENABLE_LYNXRC settings. The default # (compiled-in) settings are shown below. The second column is the # name by which a setting is saved to .lynxrc (which is chosen where # possible to correspond with lynx.cfg). Use "OFF" to disable writing a # setting, "ON" to enable it. Settings are read from .lynxrc after the # corresponding data from lynx.cfg, so they override lynx.cfg, which is # probably what users expect. ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
