Otherwise, -they remain mapped to their configured bindings (normally UP_TWO lines, -DOWN_TWO lines, NEXT_PAGE and PREV_PAGE respectively). -<p>Note: setting emacs keys does not affect the line-editor bindings. - -<H1><A NAME="LL">Execution links</A></H1> - -If set to 'ALWAYS ON', Lynx will locally execute commands contained -inside any links. This can be HIGHLY DANGEROUS, so it is recommended -that they remain 'ALWAYS OFF' or 'FOR LOCAL FILES ONLY'. - -<H1><A NAME="KM">Keypad mode</A></H1> - -This gives the choice between navigating with the keypad (as arrows; -see Lynx Navigation) and having every link numbered (numbered links) -so that the links may be selected by numbers instead of moving to them -with the arrow keys. You can also number form fields. - -<H1><A NAME="LE">Line edit style</A></H1> - -This allows you to set alternate key bindings for the built-in line editor, -if <A HREF="alt_edit_help.html">Alternate Bindings</A> have been installed. -Otherwise, Lynx uses the <A HREF="edit_help.html">Default Binding</A>. - -<H1><A NAME="PM">Personal Mail Address</A></H1> - -You may set your mail address here so that when mailing messages -to other people or mailing files to yourself, your email address can be -automatically filled in. Your email address will also be sent -to HTTP servers in a `from:' field. - -<H1><A NAME="PU">Pop-ups for select fields</A></H1> - -Lynx normally uses a pop-up window for the OPTIONs in form SELECT fields -when the field does not have the MULTIPLE attribute specified, and thus -only one OPTION can be selected. The use of pop-up windows can be disabled -by changing this setting to OFF, in which case the OPTIONs will be rendered -as a list of radio buttons. Note that if the SELECT field does have -the MULTIPLE attribute specified, the OPTIONs always are rendered -as a list of checkboxes. - -<H1><A NAME="ST">Searching type</A></H1> - -If set to 'case sensitive', user searches invoked by '/' will be -case-sensitive substring searches. Default is 'Case Insensitive'. - -<H1><A NAME="SC">Show color</A></H1> - -This will be present if color support is available. -<ul> -<li>If set to ON or ALWAYS, -color mode will be forced on if possible. If (n)curses color support -is available but cannot be used for the current terminal type, selecting ON -is rejected with a message. -<li>If set to OFF or NEVER, color mode will be -turned off. -<li>ALWAYS and NEVER are not offered in anonymous accounts. -If saved to a '.lynxrc' file in non-anonymous accounts, ALWAYS will cause Lynx -to set color mode on at startup if supported. -</ul> -If Lynx is built with slang, -this is equivalent to having included the -color command line switch -or having the COLORTERM environment variable set. If color support is -provided by curses or ncurses, this is equivalent to the default behavior -of using color when the terminal type supports it. If (n)curses color support -is available but cannot be used for the current terminal type, the preference -can still be saved but will have no effect. - -<p>A saved value of NEVER will -cause Lynx to assume a monochrome terminal at start-up. It is similar -to the -nocolor switch, but (when the slang library is used) can be overridden -with the -color switch. If the setting is OFF or ON when the current options -are saved to a '.lynxrc' file, the default start-up behavior is retained, -such that color mode will be turned on at startup only if the terminal info -indicates that you have a color-capable terminal, or (when slang is used) -if forced on via the -color switch or COLORTERM variable. This default -behavior always is used in anonymous accounts, or if the 'option'_save -restriction is set explicitly. If for any reason the start-up color mode -is incorrect for your terminal, set it appropriately on or off via this option. - -<H1><A NAME="CL">Show cursor for current link or option</A></H1> - -Lynx normally hides the cursor by positioning it to the right and if possible -the very bottom of the screen, so that the current link or OPTION is indicated -solely by its highlighting or color. If show cursor is set to ON, the cursor -will be positioned at the left of the current link or OPTION. This is helpful -when Lynx is being used with a speech or braille interface. It is also useful -for sighted users when the terminal cannot distinguish the character attributes -used to distinguish the current link or OPTION from the others in the display. - -<H1><A NAME="UM">User Mode</A></H1> - -<dl> -<dt><EM>Novice</EM>: Shows 2 extra lines of help at the bottom of the screen -for beginners. -<dt><EM>Intermediate (normal)</EM>: Normal status-line messages appear. -<dt><EM>Advanced</EM>: The URL is shown on the status line. -</dl> - -<H1><A NAME="AD">Assumed document character set</A></H1> - -This changes the handling of documents which do not explicitly specify -a charset. Normally Lynx assumes that 8-bit characters in those documents -are encoded according to iso-8859-1 (the official default for HTTP protocol). -Unfortunately, many non-English web pages forget to include proper charset -info; this option helps you browse those broken pages if you know somehow -what the charset is. When the value given here or by an -assume_charset -command-line flag is in effect, Lynx will treat documents as if they were -encoded accordingly. Option is active when 'Raw 8-bit or CJK Mode' is OFF. - -<H1><A NAME="JK">Raw 8-bit or CJK mode</A></H1> - -This is set automatically, but can be toggled manually in certain cases: -it toggles whether 8-bit characters are assumed to correspond with the display -character set and therefore are processed without translation -via the chartrans conversion tables. ON by default when the display -character set is one of the Asian (CJK) sets and the 8-bit characters -are Kanji multibytes. OFF for the other display character sets, -but can be turned ON when the document's charset is unknown -(e.g., is not ISO-8859-1 and no charset parameter was specified -in a reply header from an HTTP server to indicate what it is), -but you have no better idea than viewing it as from display character set -(see 'assumed document character set' for best choice). Should be OFF -when an Asian (CJK) set is selected but the document is ISO-8859-1 -or another 'assumed document character set'. The setting can also be toggled -via the RAW_TOGGLE command, normally mapped to '@', and at startup -via the -raw switch. - -<H1><A NAME="tagsoup">HTML error recovery</A></H1> - -Lynx often has to deal with invalid HTML markup. It always tries to -recover from errors, but there is no universally correct way for doing -this. As a result, there are two parsing modes: -"<DFN>SortaSGML</DFN>" attempts to enforce valid nesting of most tags -at an earlier stage of processing, while "<DFN>TagSoup</DFN>" relies -more on the HTML rendering stage to mimic the behavior of some other -browsers. -You can also switch between these modes with the CTRL-V key, and the -default can be changed in lynx.cfg or with the -tagsoup command line -switch. - -<P> -The "SortaSGML" mode will often appear to be more strict, and makes -some errors apparent that are otherwise unnoticeable. One particular -difference is the handling of block elements or -<li>..</li> inside <a HREF="some.url">..</a>. -Invalid nesting like this may turn anchors into hidden links which -cannot be easily followed, this is avoided in "TagSoup" mode. See the -<a href="follow_help.html">help on following links by -number</a> for more information on hidden links. Often pages may be -more readable in "TagSoup" mode, but sometimes the opposite is true. -Most documents with valid HTML, and documents with only minor errors, -should be rendered the same way in both modes. - -<P> -If you are curious about what goes on behind the scenes, but find that -the information from the -trace switch is just too much, Lynx can be -started with the -preparsed switch; going into SOURCE mode ('\' key) -and toggling the parsing mode (with CTRL-V) should then show some of -the differences. - -<!-- -LP's version - for reference - TD - -While the proper HTML markup should be canonical, badly nested HTML pages -may be recovered in different ways. There are two error recovery modes -in Lynx: SortaSGML with the recovery at SGML stage and TagSoup mode -with the recovery at HTML parsing stage, the latter gives more -recovery and was the default in Lynx 2.7.2 and before, -and the first may be useful for page validation purposes. -One particular difference is known for <li>..</li> -or similar strong markup inside <a HREF="some.url">..</a> -anchor text - those links are not reachable in SortaSGML -(such markup should be placed outside <a>..</a> indeed). -Default recovery mode can also be switched with CTRL-V key, -from lynx.cfg or command line switch. ---> - - -<H1><A NAME="SI">Show Images</A></H1> - -This option combines the effects of the `*' & `[' keys as follows: -<pre> - <em>ignore</em> all images which lack an ALT= text string, - <em>show labels</em>, e.g. [INLINE] -- see `Verbose Images' below -- , - <em>use links</em> for every image, enabling downloading. -</pre><p> -This option setting cannot be saved between sessions. -See <A HREF="../Lynx_users_guide.html#Images">Users Guide</A> -& <em>lynx.cfg</em> for more details. - -<H1><A NAME="VB">Verbose Images</A></H1> - -This allows you to replace [LINK], [INLINE] and [IMAGE] --- for images without ALT -- with filenames: -this can be helpful by revealing which images are important -& which are merely decoration, e.g. <em>button.gif</em>, <em>line.gif</em>. -See <A HREF="../Lynx_users_guide.html#Images">Users Guide</A> -& <em>lynx.cfg</em> for more details. - - -<H1><A NAME="VI">VI keys</A></H1> - -If set to 'ON' then the lowercase h, j, k and l keys will be mapped -to left-arrow, down-arrow, up-arrow and right-arrow respectively. -<p>The uppercase H, J, K, and L keys remain mapped to their configured bindings -(normally HELP, JUMP, KEYMAP and LIST, respectively). -<p>Note: setting vi keys does not affect the line-editor bindings. - -<H1><A NAME="DC">Display Character set</A></H1> - -This allows you to set up the default character set for your specific terminal. -The display character set provides a mapping from the character encodings -of viewed documents and from HTML entities into viewable characters. -It should be set according to your terminal's character set -so that characters other than 7-bit ASCII can be displayed correctly, -using approximations if necessary, -<A HREF="test_display.html">try the test here</A>. -Since Lynx now supports a wide range of platforms -it may be useful to note that cpXXX codepages are used within IBM PC computers, -and windows-xxxx within native MS-Windows applications. - -<H1><A NAME="DV">X DISPLAY variable</A></H1> - -This option is only relevant to X Window users. It specifies -the DISPLAY (Unix) or DECW$DISPLAY (VMS) variable. It is picked up -automatically from the environment if it has been previously set. - -<H1><A NAME="MB">Multi-bookmarks</A></H1> - -Manage multiple bookmark files: -<ul> -<li>When OFF, the default bookmark file is used for the 'v'iew-bookmarks -and 'a'dd-bookmark link commands. -<li>If set to STANDARD, a menu of available -bookmarks is always invoked when you seek to view a bookmark file -or add a link, and you select the bookmark file by its letter token -in that menu. -<li>If set to ADVANCED, you are instead prompted for the letter -of the desired bookmark file, but can enter '=' to invoke the STANDARD -selection menu, or RETURN for the default bookmark file. -</ul> - -<H1><A NAME="BF">Bookmark file</A></H1> - -Manage the default bookmark file: -<ul> -<li>If non-empty and multi-bookmarks is OFF, -it specifies your default '<A HREF="bookmark_help.html">Bookmark file</A>'. -<li>If multi-bookmarks is STANDARD or ADVANCED, -entering 'B' will invoke a menu in which you can specify -filepaths and descriptions of up to 26 bookmark files. -</ul> -The filepaths must be from your home directory and begin with './' -if subdirectories are included (e.g., './BM/lynx_bookmarks.html'). -<P> -Lynx will create bookmark files when you first 'a'dd a link, -but any subdirectories in the filepath must already exist. - -<H1><A NAME="VP">Visited Pages</A></H1> - -This allows you to change the appearance of the -<a href="visited_help.html">Visited Links Page</a> - -Normally it shows a list, in reverse order of the pages visited. -The popup menu allows you these choices: -<dl> -<dt><EM>By First Visit</EM>: -The default appearance, shows the pages based on when they were first visited. -The list is shown in reverse order, to make the current page (usually) at -the top of the list. -<dt><EM>By First Visit Reversed</EM> -The default appearance, shows the pages based on when they were first visited. -The list is shown in order, to make the current page (usually) at -the bottom of the list. -<dt><EM>As Visit Tree</EM> -Combines the first/last visited information, showing the list in order of -the first visit, but using the indentation level of the page immediately -previous to determine indentation of new entries. -That gives a clue to the order of visiting pages when moving around in -the History or Visited Pages lists. -<dt><EM>By Last Visit</EM> -The default appearance, shows the pages based on when they were last visited. -The list is shown in reverse order, to make the current page (usually) at -the top of the list. -<dt><EM>By Last Visit Reversed</EM> -The default appearance, shows the pages based on when they were last visited. -The list is shown in order, to make the current page (usually) at -the bottom of the list. -</dl> - -<H1><A NAME="FT">FTP sort criteria</A></H1> - -This allows you to specify how files will be sorted within FTP listings. -The current options include -`By Filename', `By Size', `By Type', `By Date'. - -<H1><A NAME="LD">List directory style</A></H1> - -Applies to Directory Editing. -Files and directories can be presented in the following ways: -<dl> -<dt><EM>Mixed style</EM>: Files and directories are listed together -in alphabetical order. -<dt><EM>Directories first</EM>: Files and directories are separated -into 2 alphabetical lists: directories are listed first. -<dt><EM>Files first</EM>: Files and directories are separated -into 2 alphabetical lists: files are listed first. -</dl> - -<H1><A NAME="DF">Show dot files</A></H1> - -If display/creation of hidden (dot) files/directories is enabled, -you can turn the feature on or off via this setting. - -<H1><A NAME="PC">Preferred Document Charset</A></H1> - -The character set you prefer if sets in addition to ISO-8859-1 and US-ASCII -are available from servers.
