I use the browser w3m-el, which is a text browser that uses the "console" browser w3m as the back end. It does not display LINK metadata at the top of the page; instead it has the following effects: - if I use <space> to scroll down, and I'm at the bottom of the page, it goes to the rel=next URL. - if I use <backspace> to scroll up, and I'm at the top of the page, it goes to the rel=prev URL. - if I use <u>, which normally goes from http://foo/bar/baz to http://foo/bar/, it instead goes to the rel=toc URL. When using the html2ps browser, I can use these links to generate a single printable document of a large document, without having to specify the URL of every file individually. These behaviours are enormously useful for reading large documents; if lynx and links do "ugly" things with this metadata then I think you should be complaining to the developers of those programs, not the content providers (such as debiandoc-sgml). Probably they should make the "ugliness" an option. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
