: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"
