Subject: [elinks-users] bookmarks
Message-ID: <1b30fd140805060912q29a57643l262fd7c9ee752d81@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I have been using elinks for a couple of weeks now and I love it. It
seems to have a few small things that other browsers don't have but
you really miss having! Such as session save.

I have been fine not using my bookmarks up until now, and when I have
needed something I have opened up my firefox bookmarks as an html
page. I was wondering if anyone has written a script that will put the
firefox bookmarks into elinks (non xml) bookmarks format?

David

Subject: [elinks-users] -force-html option not working in ELinks 0.11.1
Message-ID: <20080507133953.GA30962@th-shell-1.gradwell.net>

I am running ELinks 0.11.1 (I can't update, it's not my system, just a
shell login on my hosting account) and I can't get the -force-html
option to work at all.

I have an HTML file which I have renamed to 'fred', when I do:-

    elinks -force-html fred

I get the pop-up saying "What would you like to do with the file
'fred' (type: application/octet-stream)?".

On my work system (Fedora 7) it works perfectly, even *without* the
-force-html (this is ELinks 0.11.3).


What might be wrong, or is there a bug in ELinks 0.11.1?

It was *something* in my elinks.conf file, I deleted it and now
-force-html is working as expected.  I had looked at elinks.conf
before and it looked innocuous, there was hardly anything in it
(nothing needing saving anyway!).

Just an aside, what do the [0|1] bits mean in the help?  Some I can
understand as on/off but not all, for example:-

    -dump [0|1]           Print formatted versions of given URLs to stdout

what does the [0|1] do there?  Ooh, I've just tried it, if I do
"elinks -dump 0 test.html" it *doesn't* dump the file.  How wierd!
