lynx shows 50 links (plus 160 links).  Use 'L' to see the available links.

only 28 links here.

Going back to the original report,

https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Frue89bordeaux.com%2F

shows a few problems.  I'd rather spend time fixing problems where
the w3 validator says the page is correct, while lynx doesn't render
it in an accessible manner.

Hi Samuel,

thanks for the bug report. This seems to be a known issue upstream...

It seems as if that was invalid HTML for a long time and is valid
under HTML5 or so.

Both URLs do contain some links for me. Anyways, there seem to be less
links than expected. But at least pressing Ctrl-V as suggested on
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lynx-dev/2016-05/msg6.html
seems to unhide the remaining ones.

Regards, Axel
