Thanks for the tip, Thomas. I still find the behavior confusing; i.e. that the name is important rather than the content. "-dump dumps the formatted output of the default document" implies the document is HTML, does not mention other possible interpretations or file formats, and does not mention -force_html or the *.html convention or why there is a need for -force_html.
If you do not wish to change the behavior, please consider updating the man page to document the conventions/assumptions that lynx -dump makes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1112568 Title: lynx -dump fails if filename is not *.html To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lynx/+bug/1112568/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
