Using vimdiff, I see the following differences: * links prints '-', while elinks prints '--' * In some lines, links prints out more leading spaces than elinks. * Hence, the reason of the extra lines, is that for some sentences/paragraphs, links renders it in X lines, while elinks renders it in X-1 lines. > Are we sure that we are not dropping anything?

Actually I found elinks output to be better, if you notice that some author names that got european characters are rendered as follows using links: o Bjo:rn Jacke <bja...@suse.com> o Jimmy Ma:kela: <j...@flashback.net> while elinks renders it as follows: o Bjoern Jacke <bja...@suse.com> o Jimmy Maekelae <j...@flashback.net> And the output of elinks would be more correct if the option '-dump-charset utf8' is passed to elinks. -- أحمد المحمودي (Ahmed El-Mahmoudy) Digital design engineer GPG KeyID: 0xEDDDA1B7 (@ subkeys.pgp.net) GPG Fingerprint: 8206 A196 2084 7E6D 0DF8 B176 BC19 6A94 EDDD A1B7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
