Checked already. I prefer elinks output. I did a quick test as well and noticed that ELinks does a better job with bulleted lists, and in my setup jutifies the text - which I don't mind since I read lots of man pages, but I guess some would find this questionable with fixed-width fonts. Elinks also has some color options, that might be significant for highlighting and such but I haven't tested that yet. These days it can be difficult to find a web page that renders correctly w/o js and css.

The ELinks from the master branch draws nice looking frames in dumps. ___ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users

Now you're telling me.. :-) I indeed see it in the NEWS file: * enhancement: ``elinks --dump'' uses box-drawing characters if * supported by the charset. I haven't tried it, but this looks promising. Thanks for the good news. CJ -- Hi! My name is bobby... ___ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users

Not sure how it would know it should fill the gaps left between line drawing character though. Only other thing that comes to mind is that if it's just the tables bothering you, you might be able to write a script to postprocess the output of ?elinks -dump? and replace the pluses and dashes by the better-looking line-drawing characters and add it as a filter to the pipe above. Yes. Sounds a bit challenging with + used in table corners as well as within table etc. (for example).

Does elinks have interface with it? I have tried html2ps as well as printing to pdf from firefox etc. Point is getting _same_ view as in elinks. -dump comes close to it, though does not exactly match. E.g. there will be gaps in | symbol that draws vertical lines in text dump. When elinks renders it visually, there are no gaps.
