I checked that readme, and there was information in there about contributing in general, but nothing really specific. So I was wondering if there really was a large (or small) scale effort to clean up (or rewrite) the user manual to make it more user friendly and homogenus. If so, I'd like to help. I'm not a programmer, but by golly I can write stuff...! -David _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users&lt; at &gt;linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users </pre> David Goss 2012-05-21T17:12:18 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.elinks.user/2065 <pre> I did a quick test as well and noticed that ELinks does a better job with bulleted lists, and in my setup jutifies the text - which I don't mind since I read lots of man pages, but I guess some would find this questionable with fixed-width fonts. Elinks also has some color options, that might be significant for highlighting and such but I haven't tested that yet. These days it can be difficult to find a web page that renders correctly w/o js and css.

CJ </pre> Chris Jones 2012-05-18T17:36:16 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.elinks.user/2062 <pre> Will try that out. Thanks. Not sure how it would know it should fill the gaps left between line drawing character though. Yes. Sounds a bit challenging with + used in table corners as well as within table etc. (for example).

Probably an expected question - when would it come out in a release/rc so that distros can pick it up?

I haven't tried it, but this looks promising. Thanks for the good news. CJ </pre> Chris Jones 2012-05-18T07:37:18 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.elinks.user/2059 <pre>The ELinks from the master branch draws nice looking frames in dumps. _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users&lt; at &gt;linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users </pre> witekfl 2012-05-18T07:04:10 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.elinks.user/2058 <pre> Yes, it looks like ‘elinks -dump’ replaces unicode line drawing characters by their ascii equivalents. When I browse with ELinks and I'm looking at tables at www.w3schools.com I see nice line-drawing characters in the U+2500 range or thereabout, but when I do an ‘elinks -dump.. ’ of the URL, all I get is the old Ascii stuff (with dashes and plus signs ‘+------------+-----------+’ e.g. The dump options are under ‘Options Manager-&gt;Document-&gt;Dump Output’ but I don't see anything that looks like it would let you change this setting. But apart from that, and issues related to the page width, everything else looks OK. Anyway, to answer your other question there is no ‘interface’ that I know of between ELinks and the printing system. What I had in mind was more prosaically something along the lines of: | $ elinks -dump-width nnn -dump URL | lpr -P PDF That should give you the exact image of the ‘Elinks -dump command’ in printable form. Only other thing that comes to mind is th</pre> Chris Jones 2012-05-18T04:51:18 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.elinks.user/2057 <pre> How would that print as it appears in elinks? Does elinks have interface with it? I have tried html2ps as well as printing to pdf from firefox etc. Point is getting _same_ view as in elinks. -dump comes close to it, though does not exactly match. E.g. there will be gaps in | symbol that draws vertical lines in text dump. When elinks renders it visually, there are no gaps.

CJ </pre> Chris Jones 2012-05-17T19:18:49 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.elinks.user/2055 <pre>elinks rendering pages with tables etc is quite pleasing to the eyes. Wish it can be printed that way by converting to ps/pdf. Yes, there are other ways to convert html to ps/pdf. However getting same effect of elinks rendering is difficult (or I don't know how to get it). If dumped as text, the smoothness of visual rendering with elinks goes away. Also tried "save formatted document" which looks nearly same as dump option. Any way to print "as it appears" in elinks?

After closing elinks completely and reopening it, it loaded hooks.js and did a lot of stuff :-) Yours, Jonas -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- From: Jonas Bechtel Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2012 11:13 PM To: elinks-users&lt; at &gt;linuxfromscratch.org Subject: Manually reload hooks.js Hello, I'm trying to work with hooks.js but when I copied it to ~/.elinks/hooks.js nothing changed in the behaviour of elinks.

That didn't actually work for me, but it pointed me in the right direction. The Lua console actually did nothing at first; I got an error for all commands I entered. To fix this, I needed to define the lua_console_hook() in my hooks.lua like so: function lua_console_hook(expr) return "eval", expr end After this, I could use the console, but reload() gives me the error: "[strong "reload()"]:1: attempt to call global `reload' (a nil value)". Using dofile("/path/to/hooks.lua"), howver, works with the cavate that I need to use the full path to the file; using ~/.elinks/hooks.lua returns "file not found". Anyway, the dofile("hooks.lua") works. I look forward to butchering the HTML of sites more quickly :) _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users&lt; at &gt;linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users </pre> David Goss 2012-02-17T02:15:36 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.elinks.user/2048 <pre>[...] Yes: Using the default hooks.lua file, you can enter "reload()" at the Lua console to reload the hooks file. Open the console with the "," key. "reload()" is actually defined in the default hooks.lua file. Later on in hooks.lua, you can see that the Lua console just calls the lua_console_hook function, which allows the user to call the reload() function or run arbitrary Lua code.

It's trial and error for me to get the results I want (I'm not a programmer and I've never touched Lua before this). It seems that Elinks only reads my hooks.lua file on start-up though, which makes my trial and error experiments a bit slow. Is there a way to get Lua to reload this file after I make changes? Or perhaps there is a better way to perform this type of experimentation other than the pre_format_html function? Advise would be much appreciated! -David _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users&lt; at &gt;linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users </pre> scribblemacher 2012-02-16T20:35:02 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.elinks.user/2046 <pre>Hi! I realize that this reply might come a wee bit late, but I haven't really been looking at the mailinglist for some time. If you have found another solution or don't need it anymore---well, the archive might still be happy about it. :o) * Saurabh Singh on Tue, Dec 06, 2011 at 04:53:34PM +0530: Basically you want to use the '-dump' command-line switch, which tells Elinks to format the page and just dump it as text onto the standard output. I'm using this for much the same reasons as you, to feed it to my trusted dot-matrix printer. If your HTML is a text file, then the incantation looks like this: % elinks -dump $filename This works just as well using a pipeline: % some_command | elinks -dump There are additional options that control how wide the output should be, whether to enumerate links and so on. They are listed in the output of `elinks -help`.
