>I think you can't do it anyway - LYNX is not support HTML as graphic >browsers do it. It not support any "barocco" in HTML. >It can only read text (content) and understand there is "form" and >"hyprlink" and "title" without any formatting. This is an understatement. While I've never seen color support from Lynx, the version I'm running (2.7.1 for Linux) recognizes the EM, STRONG, B, I and U tags, and renders each of them as underlined text to indicate the emphasis. In addition, it marks up the contents of the S, STRIKE and DEL tags [DEL: like this :DEL]. (INS is similarly supported.) It also renders a frameset as a series of links to the frame contents (in addition to displaying the contents of the NOFRAMES tag), and produces a menu of links associated with a client-side imagemap. The table support could be better (I'm learning the issues involved by writing a TABLE-to-PRE conversion script myself), but it does offer limited support by inserting a line break at the end of each row and collapsible space at the end of each cell. There is no stylesheet or client-side scripting support. John T. Whelan whelan@iname.com http://www.slack.net/~whelan/
