The original request was clearly wrong, but there is a reasonable thought behind it. It's reasonable to ask for a way to dump a page starting at a particular fragment; it just should not be an automatic behavior.
That is, lynx could do the following: Dump whole document: lynx -dump http://foo.bar/baz.html#bletch Dump starting at the specified fragment: lynx -dump -start_at_fragment http://foo.bar/baz.html#bletch Dump only the specified fragment (i.e. stop immediately before the next fragment anchor, if any, in the document): lynx -dump -one_fragment http://foo.bar/baz.html#bletch And of course these could be set in a user's .lynxrc so that if they think the default should be something other than "dump the whole thing", they have control over that. This implies one other thing: lynx -dump -start_at_fragment http://foo.bar/baz.html lynx -dump -one_fragment http://foo.bar/baz.html -- these commands should dump the whole document even if it does have fragment anchors; else you can't leave them turned on in your .lynxrc. I'm not proposing to implement this myself, just trying to defend the original poster a little help and guide a sensible implementation, if anyone decides to do it. The request seems reasonable to me because there currently is no way to see fragment anchors in dumped output. They leave no footprints in the dump, so there's no sensible way to postprocess `lynx -dump` output to achieve the requested effect. So, another way to meet the request would be to add a flag that causes fragment anchors to be visually denoted in the dump. Then a simple script could postprocess a dump to do whatever you want. An advantage of this approach is that it could also be applied to interactive use: Here we are talking about blah blah blah. [#config] Configuring the blah blah server ... [#shutdown] Stopping the blah blah server ... I've seen plenty of documents where it would have been instructive to see the author's fragment anchors inlined in the document. >Bela< ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
