No; backporting doesn't mean downgrading, it means building packages in newer distributions for older distributions.

Meantime I'm extremely happy with w3m which enables to switch by key to alternativ browsers. The tables are displayed perfecty.

lynx wraps table cells inproperly
This is a problem relating to lynx 2.8.3 out of the stable potato branch: Having html code describing a 2 column table like this: table tr tdvery_long_line_very_long_line_very_long_line tdvery_long_line_very_long_line_very_long_line tr /table .. is displayed in this manner if xterm does not provide enough space in width: very_long_line_very_long_line_very_long_line very_long line_very_long_line_very_long_line - in words the cells do not wrap up properly, the text in the right most cell continues on the left side on the next line instead of keeping in the belonging cell. Using end-tags does not help. Is this a common behaviour of the lynx text browser? Robert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

If you want something that doesn't smash tables into term width, go grab links-ssl.

Although it has different keybindings, you could try w3m. -- Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
