I think that makes sense. It'd also make things less confusing when a cluster of 2 or 3 links all point to the same place. > 2. if the entirety of the text of the element is numeric [and short > :-)], use that as the link number.

The only problem I see with this is that you'd have to scan the page once first which would add to the already long link numbering process. > I'm guessing this is a bit of work to doLinkNodes, and has to be > pretty tight to run on every page, so it might be challenging.

They seem like good ideas. -Shawn _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror
