elinks.conf(5) ============== :Description: ELinks configuration file NAME ---- elinks.conf - ELinks configuration file SYNOPSIS -------- [verse] set "<option>" = <value> unset "<option>" = <value> bind "<keymap>" "<key>" = "<action>" include "<file>" DESCRIPTION ----------- The `elinks.conf` file contains configuration information for ELinks. It can be used to configure the behaviour of ELinks in a wide variety of ways: protocol behaviour, keybindings, colors used for rendering and for the user interface. It is read at startup and saved only when requested. All options described in this document can be fully configured from within ELinks so no editing of elinks.conf is needed. Note that MIME-related options used for specifying handlers of various MIME types are NOT described in this document. Documentation for these options can be found at the ELinks homepage. Keybindings can also be specified in elinks.conf. This is described in man:elinkskeys[5]. SYNTAX ------ The syntax of the configuration file is very simple. The elinks.conf file is a free-form ASCII text file. The file may contain extra tabs and newlines for formatting purposes. Keywords in the file are case-sensitive. Comments may be placed anywhere within the file (except within quotes). Comments begin with the # character and end at the end of the line. EXAMPLES -------- Some sample settings: # Use asynchronous DNS resolver? set connection.async_dns = 1 # horizontal text margin. set document.browse.margin_width = 3 # Default document codepage. set document.codepage.assume = "ISO-8859-1" # User defined protocol handlers set protocol.user.mailto.unix = "mutt %h -s \e\*(lq%s\e\*(rq" OPTIONS ------- include::option-config.txt[] SEE ALSO -------- man:elinks[1], man:elinkskeys[5]
