+This is a short summary of code metrics showing how lynx has grown from
+release to release.  It also shows how the original codebase has
+been almost completely replaced by contributors after the release of
+lynx 2.4.2 in 1996.  The numbers shown are for lines of text, to keep
+the presentation simple.

+Beginning with 2.8.6, the fraction of remaining original codebase is an
+estimate, since all C source code is automatically indented using the
+indent.sh script.  That added 7216 lines of change since it was not possible
+to completely match the hand-edited indention scheme.
+
+Current lynx releases contain a large amount of text other than C code.
+That includes plain text, html, message libraries, custom and generated
+scripts.
