Weird characters

I had the same problem recently on both Debian and WattOS_R4 (a low-energy use *buntu derivative) drives.

After some searching the advice I found was that it was a gnome-terminal error, easily fixed by typing 'reset' at prompt
to reset the display, or else closing and re-opening gnome-terminal.

Since then, so good .. so far.

Adam.

Terminal problems after upgrading to Fedora 15

Hi

After upgrading from Fedora 14 to Fedora 15, I was able to compile
ELinks-0.13-GIT, although I had to disable ECMAscript support. Now, I
have strange terminal problems that only occures within a screen session
(I don't use any X). I've read somewhere that the screen program from
Fedora 14 is not compatible with the same program from Fedora 15. What's
happening, is that, for every new page that ELinks loads, the terminal
beeps. After that, the terminal beeps also if I change screen window.
Also, I notice that sometimes the terminal get stuck, and missdisplay
the page. Noticable is the top line, which shows the information too
long to the left.

Are some of you able to tell me how to fix this problem? I'm used to
ELinks, and don't want to miss it.

Thanks and regards,
Lars

Weird characters

Good day guys,

I'm having a bit of display trouble when using Elinks from Putty:

http://i.imgur.com/omWJZ.png

Would anyone happen to know why?

System:
- Ubuntu Server 10.10
- Installing elinks from apt-get repo (no modification/customization)
- Using Putty

The odd part is that if I use the console directly, elinks will display borders as expected

Cheers

I use Fedora 15, and I think the relevant packages are
js-1.8.5-6.fc15.i686 and js-devel-1.8.5-6.fc15.i686.

I tried to update my elinks source files, but it seems that they was last
updated in 2010. Any ideas how to get elinks work again, after upgrading
from Fedora 14 to Fedora 15?

Thanks,
Lars

Newbie: Using elinks to convert html table to text file for printing on dot matrix printer

Hi All,

I have just discovered elinks in my hunt for a Html->PrettyText solution.

A little background of my use-case:

My java application is formatting some data as html tables (basically simple reports) and sending them to my users' browser.
This is shown nicely in their graphical browsers (firefox etc) but when someone wishes to print it on text only (dot matrix) printer, the printer sees the data as a graphical image and proceeds to print it very slowly.
eg: character C would be printed in 3-4 passes by the printer - making it very very slow

I am trying to pass this html string via a converter which will convert it to text, keeping intact the column alignment for tables (i.e. keeping intact the vertical alignment of cell data across the rows - by adding extra spaces or wrapping text as required).

  • Can I use elinks in a way where I give it a 'string' which is fully formed html page and get the text output which I can then send to the user's browser for fast printing?
I am using java code running in tomcat on linux.

Thanks in advance,
S.Singh

What is x11 config option about

I see an option "x11" in the list of configurable options of elinks.

I did not see any difference in elinks by building with and without this
options.

How exactly is this option supposed to be used?

Mayuresh.

make Title-bar also show the URL

Hello!

First of all many thanks for the absolutely great Elinks. It's by far my most favorit browser, console based
but with many many features to even make modern browsing possible.
I'm wondering though if it is possible to also have the URL being shown in the Title-bar, e.g. first the
web-page Title then the URL (and then the amount of pages). So far the only way to see the current page's URL
seems to be by presseing G, which I find a bit anoying. Is there a way to enable showing the URL of the
currently displyed web-page in the Title bar or would that need changes to the code?

Thanks for any help or hints
Lynx

Esperanto translation of ELinks

This is a translation I did.  It's not quite finished, because I got
tired of doing it, but it's better than nothing and I wouldn't want the
work I've already done go to waste.

Local CGI Help

Folks,


  I would surely appreciate some help with getting local CGI going on my Linux boxes.

  I have tried everything I can think of to make Elinks 0.11.7 parse my ~/.elinks/elinks.conf file.  It simply does not like the following lines:

    set protocol.file.cgi.policy = 1
    set protocol.file.cgi.path = "/home/mqalton/cgic205"

  Elinks says:

/home/mqalton/.elinks//elinks.conf:1135: unknown option
/home/mqalton/.elinks//elinks.conf:1136: unknown option

  I configured the source with:

./configure --prefix=/opt/MGLN --enable-cgi  --disable-uri-rewriting

  The results are the same without the "--disable-uri-rewriting" option.  That was just the last thing I tried.

  Thanks.
