Otherwise you will only affect settings for your -individual session; they aren't remembered next time you use lynx, (since you -actually did not tell lynx to remember them). - -This disk write to .lynxrc is not default behaviour for [O]ptions -configurations. The lynx browser tends to tread lightly at first. Note that -you must first have permission on your system to create, write to and read -from a .lynxrc file in your home directory. - -Using some of the menu items: - -User mode controls the amount of "on screen" help at the bottom of the screen. -You get the familiar view of the link target you are on when you use ADVANCED -user mode, and this also gives you the most top to bottom screen area. -ADVANCED user mode also allows for sub bookmark functionality (see below). - -The (for now) command line only option --nomargins provides the largest -readable left to right screen coverage. - -Editor is for jumping to vi or whatever you prefer during local file edits -and for textarea editing with ^Xe if you are filling out a form while browsing. - -Please see README.cookies for a brief cookie handling discussion. - -Multi-bookmarks allows several files to be your bookmarks; it will introduce -a browse list of them if they are defined as below. - -Once the Multi-bookmarks setup on Options is done and has been written out to -your .lynxrc (remember to Accept Changes and to Save Changes to disk), -in .lynxrc you will see a list of 25 possible "other" bookmark files -(26 letters minus "A") - you need to then associate some of them with -(meaningful) filenames to get the Multi-bookmark menu. - -Note that the files must be relative to your home directory. - -The best way to create and manage them is by using the MultiBookmarkMenu (MBM) -configuration tool selectable from the [O]ptions menu. - -The MBM allows you to describe the sub bookmark, and name a file relative -to your home directory that will contain the html for the saved links. -You populate one of the lettered sub bookmarks, describe it, and provide a -filename. ">" saves the edits, and ^G cancels edits. - -The sub bookmarks will be accessible by pressing the associated key from a -menu when invoking the bookmark choice (lynx -book, or 'V' in a session), or -when saving new bookmarks. You can directly access your sub bookmarks by letter -key alone by defining sub_bookmarks=ADVANCED in .lynxrc or lynx.cfg, if you -have ADVANCED general user mode selected as well. -The Multi-bookmark submenu can still be seen in ADVANCED by pressing "=", and -is always seen in STANDARD mode. - -They are seen in your .lynxrc like so: - -multi_bookmarkB=cars,Cars -multi_bookmarkC=news,News -multi_bookmarkD=sports,Sports - -Filename precedes description in .lynxrc, whereas in the MBM configuration -utility, the description is the left column, and the filename is in the right -column displayed. - - -Stef Caunter -http://caunter.ca/contact.html -http://caunter.ca/README.options - |
