ELinks - an advanced web browser
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
ELinks is an advanced and well-established feature-rich text mode web
|
||||
(HTTP/FTP/..) browser. ELinks can render both frames and tables, is highly
|
||||
customizable and can be extended via scripts. It is very portable and runs
|
||||
on a variety of platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
The ELinks official website is available at
|
||||
|
||||
http://elinks.cz/
|
||||
|
||||
Please see the SITES file for mirrors or other recommended sites. If you
|
||||
want to install ELinks on your computer, see the INSTALL file for further
|
||||
instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
A good starting point is documentation files available in doc/, especially the
|
||||
file index.txt.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to request features or report bugs, see community information at
|
||||
http://elinks.cz/community.html and feedback information available at
|
||||
http://elinks.cz/feedback.html.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to write some patches, please first read the doc/hacking.txt
|
||||
document.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to add a new language or update the translation for an existing
|
||||
one, please read po/README document.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to write some documentation, well, you're welcome! ;)

Historical notes
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Initially, ELinks was a development version of Links (Lynx-like text WWW
|
||||
browser), with more liberal features policy and development style. Its purpose
|
||||
was to provide an alternative to Links, and to test and tune various new
|
||||
features, but still provide good rock-solid releases inside stable branches.
|
||||
|
||||
Why not contribute to Links instead? Well, first I made a bunch of patches for
|
||||
the original Links, but Mikulas wasn't around to integrate them, so I started
|
||||
releasing my fork. When he came back, a significant number of them got refused
|
||||
because Mikulas did not like them as he just wouldn't have any use for them
|
||||
himself. He aims to keep Links at a relatively closed feature set and merge
|
||||
only new features which he himself needs. It has the advantage that the tree is
|
||||
very narrow and the code is small and contains very little bloat.
|
||||
|
||||
ELinks, on the contrary, aims to provide a full-featured web browser, superior
|
||||
to both lynx and w3m and with the power (but not slowness and memory usage) of
|
||||
Mozilla, Konqueror and similar browsers. However, to prevent drastic bloating
|
||||
of the code, the development is driven in the course of modularization and
|
||||
separation of add-on modules (like cookies, bookmarks, ssl, scripting etc).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
If you are more interested in the history and various Links clones and versions,
|
||||
you can examine the website at
|
||||
|
||||
http://links.sf.net/
|
||||
|
||||
Old ELinks team lost interest in ELinks development somehow. felinks is
|
||||
continuation of elinks based on the master branch of the original elinks repo
|
||||
with main releases (new features and other incompatible changes) no more often
|
||||
than 1 yearly, and point releases (bugfixes) no more often than once a month.
|
||||
|
||||
Repository was renamed to elinks on 2020-12-01 with Petr's approval.
|
||||
|
||||
Main repo is at
