ELinks for Debian
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
ELinks is a code fork of Links, the original character mode browser of
|
|
Mikulas Patocka. ELinks provides lots of new features over the original
|
|
Links codebase, and changes are more rapid. Some believes that Links is
|
|
more stable because of the few feature change. YMMW.

|
ELinks is a character mode world wide web browser. It supports colors,
|
|
correct table and frames rendering, international codepages and user
|
|
interfaces, background downloads, multiple connected instances, small and
|
|
fast.
|
|
|
|
ELinks supports password authentication (it works almost in every cases),
|
|
SSL, cookies, and bookmarks, and new features appear from time to time.
|
|
|
|
Please do not report that you cannot cut&paste with gpm - you can. Use
|
|
SHIFT+MOUSE together and it'll behave as without gpm.
|
|
|
|
Do not forget to setup after the first install: press F9, go to the Setup
|
|
menu, and set Linux console, default display character set and others. (An
|
|
example default config is provided in the examples directory.)
|
|
|
|
With the mailcap.pl you can convert the /etc/mailcap file to
|
|
elinks.conf format, and append to your config, until it gets supported. You
|
|
can find an example default config in the examples directory. (This is a
|
|
static suboptimal solution.) [this section is outdated as ELinks now uses a
|
|
different config format, I work on this.]
|
|

Some questions from bugreports:
|
|
===============================
|
|
Q: Where did the download manager/proxy settings/whatever disappear?
|
|
A: Please check the menus. Download manager is under Tools>Download, proxy
|
|
settings is at Setup>Options>Protocols>HTTP>Proxy>Host and port.
|
|
Familiarize yourself with the options manager. :-)

|
|

|
|
to learn how to use this unintuitive feature.
