Lynx is seriously challenged (politically correct enough?) by tables. There are things you can do: use a PRINTER or EXTERNAL definition in lynx.cfg, or use Lynx's pseudoproxy mechanism. There are undoubtedly other ways. I realize that Lynx is new to you and these methods will seem unreachable at first, but in time (years) you will come to under- stand that Lynx's remarkable power resides in these rich mechanisms. Another possibility is to just give in and use another browser such as "w3m" which handles tables better. I suspect you could call w3m from Lynx with a PRINTER define, but I'm not confident enough to direct you. Maybe `` PRINTER:View page with w3m:/usr/local/bin/w3m "%s":FALSE" ''. (Perhaps Chuck can give us a good one.) Generally, my method to view tables in a throw-away sense, i.e., just read it once and move on, is the following: PRINTER:Display a table.:gawk -f /usr/local/bin/t2thtml <%s >%s:TRUE This might be limited to use on a Unix system; I don't know. Rather than use Tom Zerucha's original "t2html", I'd recommend: http://www.t3.rim.or.jp/~patakuti/lynx/enhanced/t2thtml.
