+++ Follow link (or goto link or page) number Help +++

+ +If a user has set Keypad mode to Links are numbered +as the default or for the current session via the Options menu, +then hypertext links which have visible link names are prefixed with +numbers in square brackets. Entering a keyboard or keypad number is +treated as an F_LINK_NUM command, and should invoke the +Follow link (or goto link or page) number: statusline prompt for +a potentially multiple digit number corresponding to an indicated link +number. If RETURN is pressed to terminate the number entry (e.g., +123), Lynx will retrieve the document for that link as if you +had paged or used other navigation commands to make it the current link +and then ACTIVATE-ed it. The prompt can be invoked via 0, +but it will not be treated as the lead digit for the number entry, +whereas 1 through 9 both invoke the prompt and are +treated as the first digit. + +

If the number entered at the prompt has a 'g' suffix (e.g., +123g), then Lynx will make the link corresponding to that number +the current link, paging as appropriate if the link does not appear in +the currently displayed page. Alternatively, if the number is given a +'p' suffix (e.g., 123p), Lynx will make the page +corresponding to that number the currently displayed page, and the first +link on that page, if any, the current link. The 'g' and +'p' suffixes thus convert the +Follow link (or goto link or page) number: +feature to an advanced navigation aid. + +

If the user has set Keypad mode to Numbers as arrows, +then only '0', rather than every number, will be treated as an +F_LINK_NUM command for invoking the Follow link (or goto link or page) +number: prompt. The '0' will not be treated as the first +digit for the number, or number plus suffix, entry. + +

Note that HTML can be structured so that it includes hidden +links, i.e., without a visible link name intended for ACTIVATE-ing +the link. Such links may be created, for example, by making an IMG element +the sole content of an Anchor element, and including an ALT="" attribute +name/value pair to suppress access to the link when the browser does not +have support for image handling available. They also can be created by +having truly empty Anchor content, in cases for which the value of an +Anchor's HREF attribute is intended as a navigation aid for robots +(typically indexers) and not as content for a browser's rendition of the +document. With the -ismap command line switch, Lynx will +additionally treat a link to a server-side image maps as hidden if +there also is a client-side map for the same image. +Finally, in some cases links which are not intended to be hidden +may effectively become hidden links because of bad HTML. +The hidden links differ from Anchors which have only a +NAME or ID attribute name/value pair (intended as positioning targets from +other links which do have HREF attributes and values that include a +fragment). + +

Lynx respects instructions for hidden links and normally does +not include them in the rendition of the document. However, if the command +line switch -hiddenlinks=merge is used, such links will still be +numbered in sequence with other links which are not hidden, and if Links +are numbered mode is also on, link numbers will appear for them in the +displayed text (except for links to image maps which are hidden because of +-ismap). If -hiddenlinks=listonly or +-hiddenlinks=ignore is in effect, hidden links will not be +shown in the text even in links are numbered mode. Not using a +-hiddenlinks flag at all is equivalent to +-hiddenlinks=listonly. + +

If a document includes +hidden links, they will be reported, with appropriate labeling, +in the menu created for the LIST ('l') command, +unless -hiddenlinks=ignore is used. They can then be +ACTIVATE-ed via that menu. Also, if a link was hidden due to an ALT +attribute in an IMG element, it will be converted to a visible link +whenever the IMAGE_TOGGLE ('*') command is used to create links +for SRC attritute values of IMG elements, because this indicates that the +user does have some form of image handling enabled via a helper application, +or wishes to download files for subsequent use with a graphic browsers or +other suitable software. + + diff --git a/lynx_help/keystroke_commands/keystroke_help.html b/lynx_help/keystroke_commands/keystroke_help.html index 8e04b767..6c10aa58 100644 --- a/lynx_help/keystroke_commands/keystroke_help.html +++ b/lynx_help/keystroke_commands/keystroke_help.html @@ -84,8 +84,13 @@ CTRL-U - Erase input line CTRL-G - Cancel input or transfer CTRL-T - Toggle trace mode on and off + ; - View the Lynx Trace Log for the current + session.
