Browser scripting and preformat html hook is good for this.
Here is an example in Python:
# BEGIN EXAMPLE
import os
def preformat_html_def pre_format_html_hook(url, html):
"""Rewrite the body of a document before it's formatted.
This function should return a string for ELinks to format, or None
if ELinks should format the original document body. It can be used
to repair bad HTML, alter the layout or colors of a document, etc.
Arguments:
url -- The URL of the document.
html -- The body of the document.
"""
if url.find("elinks.cz") != -1:
os.system('play -q /home/users/witekfl/.elinks/doorbell.wav &')
elif html.find('{SOUND}') != -1:
os.system('play -q /home/users/witekfl/.elinks/doorbell.wav &')
#END EXAMPLE
This function plays sound when user has visited the elinks.cz site or in the
body of a webpage there is text: {SOUND}.
play is part of the sox package.
path to the doorbell.wav is an example
For Python scripting --with-python must be added to the ./configure script.
The file hooks.py with hook functions must placed in /etc/elinks/ or ~/.elinks/
I hope, you got the idea.
