  • MacLynx beta 4: now with scrollbars and dialogue boxes
    Thanks for mentioning elinks (http://elinks.or.cz/). I was about ¾ of the way through that article and thinking "as an academic exercise, sure. otherwise this just looks like 'its been done a thousand times before... But not by me.'" which was leading me to share the page for elinks. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • SW etc needed.
    Some text browser like elinks or a converter like pandoc. Hopefully you have Linux. :). Source: over 1 year ago
  • The what?
    Time to audit firefox code, compile it manually, application firewalls, full content inspections to avoid any private data leaking. Get stressed and move to elinks. Source: about 2 years ago
  • /etc/elinks.conf can't display images
    ELinks is a text browser (unmaintained since 2012) and according to your description the setting appears to be working just as described in the fine manual, i. e. The browser always displays the text "IMG" and not the filename, title, or alternate text when rendering tags. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • Knowledgebase tools
    Tiddlywiki is a wiki in a single file (ie it updates the file itself) - if you can make that work with a text mode browser such as elinks (http://elinks.or.cz/) then that could be a direction worth exploring. Source: almost 3 years ago
