Re: [Lynx-dev] Problems accessing wikipedia with lynx 2.8.8
Is this problem related (but not quite similar) to the failure to send non trivial attachments (80kBytes or more) or long mails (15kBytes) with lynx to gmail and to Zimbra's webmails ? This has been the case for at least 6 years, and still is a problem happening today. Below I forward a private mail discussing the matter.

I thought gmail and my boss's webmail made impossible to me to send attachments. But I just thinked again about that: I just successfully sent my first attachment with lynx on a webmail on https, an attachment of 8885 bytes. So I think this bug is here since at least three or four years, when gmail started to use https.

Re: [Lynx-dev] Is there a swift fix for this problem?
Jude, your indication to look for link "Text-only version" in header of
Wikipedia pages cached by Google is wonderful !
A boldface letter x from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_programming is
thanks to your tip shown as
x {\displaystyle \mathbf {x} } \mathbf {x}
instead of[1]
[MATH: x
{\displaystyle \mathbf {x} } :MATH] \mathbf {x}
This is significant progress, thanks again. "\mathbf {x}" would be even better,
but I digress...

If Meetup is reluctant to alter they page by adding a "submit" button, they can
also use the following non-javascript html code:
https://www.meetup.com";>
This will make "enter" submit the comment, without adding a submit buttin,
without asking lynx user to manually submit with ":submit".

If someone can patch lynx to hide all them, it might be the best solution out there to Martin's problem. A different question to Martin McCormick: When you open your bookmark file (with key "v"), does your screen reader list aloud all bookmarks, or only the bookmarks on first page of screen ? If yes, did you find a way to have "v" and the command "a" to use different files, so that "v" only show a slim list of bookmarks ? ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev

Tmux and Screen have copy-paste included, use the shortcuts '[' and ']' (square brackets). They are also fooled by these spaces at linewraps. I just tested that what is printed by command echo averyvery[...]longline can be mouse selected by one double click, inside tmux. > In Lynx I never use the mouse--never need to--one reason why > I like it. When your lynx is showing a web page sounding like the included video is interesting, or a web page malfunctionning because it need javascript for what you want to do, how do you usually react ?

Re: [Lynx-dev] Wrapping line behavior
Hi to all, I am a very long time lynx happy user. I started before 2006. I would take this occasion to voice a feature request: When using the equal key (=), the URL after "Action:" of this page titled "Information about the current document" can be, when too long to fit, wrapped respecting the margins. This is unfortunate because it is not easy to select that URL with a mouse or with other standard copy-paste behaviors. If the margins were not respected in that URL, i.e. if there was no space at end and beginning of lines where the URL wraps, it would be a good enhancement to my personnal experience. Each time I want to refer the URL to someone, I have to open an editor to delete the whites spaces contained in the mouse buffer. I do that a dozen time a day. It would be very nice from you. 2017-01-19 7:25 UTC+01:00, patak...@users.sourceforge.jp : >> For the unconditional wrapping - I suppose it's possible that lynx is >> confused about the width of the terminal.
