Hi Lynx, I'm running Lynx Version 2.8.8dev.2 (25 Nov 2009) libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1,, ncurses 5.7.20090803(wide) Built on linux-gnu Jan 5 2010 06:23:04
I would write my personal documents in plain text except that I want tables and to some degree lists. So I write (x)html in a text editor and view it in a browser. I would like to instead both edit and view the (x)html in a text editor. In Lynx terms I would like to merge the -dump and -source streams as much as possible on a line basis, then hide the source stream by folding it out of sight in the editor (I use jEdit). To update the document I open the fold containing the relevant source and edit that source. To refresh the document I strip the old generated text. I would like to then pass the (x)html to Lynx and have Lynx generate a merged -dump and -source stream. I might then have to post-process the Lynx output to set up the folding for the editor. This extends my text editor into a poor man's whysiwyg html editor. small table example <table> <tr><td>11</td><td>12</td></tr> <tr><td>21</td><td>22</td></tr> </table> Lynx output would appear as: <table> 11 12 <tr><td>11</td><td>12</td></tr> 21 22 <tr><td>21</td><td>22</td></tr> </table> I think of this as similar to debug output from a compiler. In fact if the Lynx -dump can output pointers to line numbers in the input file or the source file then I could do my own merge. Perhaps there is already a Lynx debug parameter which will produce something like this. If not, I understand that if I really want this I might have to write the function myself. Would you be willing to accept it as a valid feature request? I.e. if I wrote it, would you integrate it into Lynx? Do you think there are better ways to skin this cat? Thanks for your work on Lynx. I have used Lynx to convert a matrix of numbers in an xhtml table to plain text and then used awk/sed to add up the columns. Perhaps an extreme attempt to avoid using a spreadsheet. However, if anyone appreciates the power of text, it would be a team that writes a text browser! -- thanks Greg _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
