Hi,Anna:
There's a HOWTO file expressly written for people who have DOS and Windows
backgrounds. If that's you, that's a great place to start. Just look for
the word
DOS in the index of HOWTO files.
The Red Hat Getting Started manual is also a great resource for beginners.
It's very well written, and it gives keyboard commands as well as mouse
clicks, so don't worry if you start hearing about clicking a mouse. The
keyboard help will follow shortly.
Let me point out that all of these are probably already on your hard
drive. Do:
locate HOWTO
and you'll see your screen fill up with all the different HOWTO files you
have. The reason to do it this way is that, on the very left of the
screen, it will tell you exactly where these HOWTO files are.
Do a locate like this:
locate rhl-gsg
to see if the compressed file is on your hard disk. If it is, do
tar xzpf rhl-gsg
and the rest of the file name, which you can get by tapping on the tab
key. This last thing, tapping on the tab key, is a very very useful trick
to learn. It's called command completion, and it will save you both typing
effort and frustration.
PS: You should have this file on your Red Hat Documentation CD ROM, if you
got CDROM's.
You can also find it on the Red Hat web site all decompressed and ready to
read online. Goto:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/getting-started-guide/
Last, but very definitely not least, you can read all of these using lynx
on your new computer,but only if you make certain changes in the lynx
configuration file that turn it into a friendly tool for blind users. I
humbly offer my lynx.cfg file to help you do that. You might want to save
it to /etc/lynx.cfg. That way,it will just always be used whenever you
launch lynx. If you want to play it safe, first copy your existing lynx to
another name, so it won't be written over like this:
cp /etc/lynx.cfg /etc/lynx.cfg.bk
You need to be root to do this.

# lynx.cfg file.
# The default placement for this file is /usr/local/lib/lynx.cfg (Unix)
# or Lynx_Dir:lynx.cfg (VMS)
#
#
# Definition pairs are of the form VARIABLE:DEFINITION
# NO spaces are allowed between the pair items.
#
# If you do not have write access to /usr/local/lib you may change
# the default location of this file in the userdefs.h file and recompile,
# or specify its location on the command line with the "-cfg"
# command line option.
#
# Items may be commented out by putting a '#' as the FIRST char of the line
# (Any line beginning with punctuation is ignored). Leading blanks on each
# line are ignored; trailing blanks may be significant depending on the option.
# An HTML'ized description of all settings (based on comments in this file,
# with alphabetical table of settings and with table of settings by category)
# is available at http://www.hippo.ru/~hvv/lynxcfg_toc.html
#
### The conversion is done via the scripts/cfg2html.pl script.
### Several directives beginning with '.' are used for this purpose.
.h1 Auxiliary Facilities
# These settings control the auxiliary navigating facilities of lynx, e.g.,
# jumpfiles, bookmarks, default URLs.
.h2 INCLUDE
# Starting with Lynx 2.8.1, the lynx.cfg file has a crude "include"
# facility. This means that you can take advantage of the global lynx.cfg
# while also supplying your own tweaks.
#
# You can use a command-line argument (-cfg /where/is/lynx.cfg) or an
# environment variable (LYNX_CFG=/where/is/lynx.cfg).
# For instance, put in your .profile or .login:
#
# LYNX_CFG=~/lynx.cfg; export LYNX_CFG # in .profile for sh/ksh/bash/etc.
# setenv LYNX_CFG ~/lynx.cfg # in .login for [t]csh
#
# Then in ~/lynx.cfg:
#
# INCLUDE:/usr/local/lib/lynx.cfg
# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ or whatever is appropriate on your system
# and now your own tweaks.
#
# Starting with Lynx 2.8.2, the INCLUDE facility is yet more powerful. You can
# suppress all but specific settings that will be read from included files.
# This allows sysadmins to provide users the ability to customize lynx with
# options that normally do not affect security, such as COLOR, VIEWER, KEYMAP.
#
# The syntax is
#
# INCLUDE:filename for <space-separated-list-of-allowed-settings>
#
# sample:
.ex
#INCLUDE:~/lynx.cfg for COLOR VIEWER KEYMAP
# only one space character should surround the word 'for'. On Unix systems ':'
# is also accepted as separator. In that case, the example can be written as
.ex
#INCLUDE:~/lynx.cfg:COLOR VIEWER KEYMAP
# In the example, only the settings COLOR, VIEWER and KEYMAP are accepted by
# lynx. Other settings are ignored. Note: INCLUDE is also treated as a
# setting, so to allow an included file to include other files, put INCLUDE in
# the list of allowed settings.
#
# If you allow an included file to include other files, and if a list of
# allowed settings is specified for that file with the INCLUDE command, nested
# files are only allowed to include the list of settings that is the set AND of
# settings allowed for the included file and settings allowed by nested INCLUDE
# commands. In short, there is no security hole introduced by including a
# user-defined configuration file if the original list of allowed settings is
# secure.
.h2 STARTFILE
# STARTFILE is the default starting URL if none is specified
# on the command line or via a WWW_HOME environment variable;
# Lynx will refuse to start without a starting URL of some kind.
# STARTFILE can be remote, e.g. http://www.w3.org/default.html ,
# or local, e.g. file://localhost/PATH_TO/FILENAME ,
# where PATH_TO is replaced with the complete path to FILENAME
# using Unix shell syntax and including the device on VMS.
#
# Normally we expect you will connect to a remote site, e.g., the Lynx starting
# site:
STARTFILE:file:/usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html
#
# As an alternative, you may want to use a local URL. A good choice for this is
# the user's home directory:
.ex
#STARTFILE:file://localhost/~/
#
# Your choice of STARTFILE should reflect your site's needs, and be a URL that
# you can connect to reliably. Otherwise users will become confused and think
# that they cannot run Lynx.
.h2 HELPFILE
# HELPFILE must be defined as a URL and must have a
# complete path if local:
# file://localhost/PATH_TO/lynx_help/lynx_help_main.html
# Replace PATH_TO with the path to the lynx_help subdirectory
# for this distribution (use SHELL syntax including the device
# on VMS systems).
# The default HELPFILE is:
# http://www.trill-home.com/lynx/lynx_help/lynx_help_main.html
# This should be changed to the local path.
#
#HELPFILE:http://www.trill-home.com/lynx/lynx_help/lynx_help_main.html
.ex
HELPFILE:file://localhost/usr/share/doc/lynx-2.8.4/lynx_help/lynx_help_main.html
.h2 DEFAULT_INDEX_FILE
# DEFAULT_INDEX_FILE is the default file retrieved when the
# user presses the 'I' key when viewing any document.
# An index to your CWIS can be placed here or a document containing
# pointers to lots of interesting places on the web.
#
DEFAULT_INDEX_FILE:http://www.google.com/
.h1 Interaction
.h2 GOTOBUFFER
# Set GOTOBUFFER to TRUE if you want to have the previous goto URL,
# if any, offered for reuse or editing when using the 'g'oto command.
# The default is defined in userdefs.h. If left FALSE, the circular
# buffer of previously entered goto URLs can still be invoked via the
# Up-Arrow or Down-Arrow keys after entering the 'g'oto command.
#
#GOTOBUFFER:FALSE
.h2 JUMP_PROMPT
# JUMP_PROMPT is the default statusline prompt for selecting a jumps file
# shortcut. (see below).
# You can change the prompt here from that defined in userdefs.h. Any
# trailing white space will be trimmed, and a single space is added by Lynx
# following the last non-white character. You must set the default prompt
# before setting the default jumps file (below). If a default jumps file
# was set via userdefs.h, and you change the prompt here, you must set the
# default jumps file again (below) for the change to be implemented.
#
#JUMP_PROMPT:Jump to (use '?' for list):
.h1 Auxiliary Facilities
.h2 JUMPFILE
# JUMPFILE is the local file checked for short-cut names for URLs
# when the user presses the 'j' (JUMP) key. The user will be prompted
# to enter a short-cut name for an URL, which Lynx will then follow
# in a similar manner to 'g'oto; alternatively, s/he can enter '?'
# to view the full JUMPFILE list of short-cuts with associated URLs.
# There is an example jumps file in the samples subdirectory.
# If not defined here or in userdefs.h, the JUMP command will invoke
# the NO_JUMPFILE statusline message (see LYMessages_en.h ).
#
# To allow '?' to work, include in the JUMPFILE
# a short-cut to the JUMPFILE itself, e.g.
# <dt>?<dd><a href="file://localhost/path/jumps.html">This Shortcut List</a>
#
# On VMS, use Unix SHELL syntax (including a lead slash) to define it.
#
# Alternate jumps files can be defined and mapped to keys here. If the
# keys have already been mapped, then those mappings will be replaced,
# but you should leave at least one key mapped to the default jumps
# file. You optionally may include a statusline prompt string for the
# mapping. You must map upper and lowercase keys separately (beware of
# mappings to keys which the user can further remap via the 'o'ptions
# menu). The format is:
#
# JUMPFILE:path:key[:prompt]
#
# where path should begin with a '/' (i.e., not include file://localhost).
# Any white space following a prompt string will be trimmed, and a single
# space will be added by Lynx.
#
# In the following line, include the actual full local path to JUMPFILE,
# but do not include 'file://localhost' in the line.
#JUMPFILE:/FULL_LOCAL_PATH/jumps.html
.ex
#JUMPFILE:/Lynx_Dir/ips.html:i:IP or Interest group (? for list):
.h2 JUMPBUFFER
# Set JUMPBUFFER to TRUE if you want to have the previous jump target,
# if any, offered for reuse or editing when using the 'J'ump command.
# The default is defined in userdefs.h. If left FALSE, the circular
# buffer of previously entered targets (shortcuts) can still be invoked
# via the Up-Arrow or Down-Arrow keys after entering the 'J'ump command.
# If multiple jumps files are installed, the recalls of shortcuts will
# be specific to each file. If Lynx was built with PERMIT_GOTO_FROM_JUMP
# defined, any random URLs used instead of shortcuts will be stored in the
# goto URL buffer, not in the shortcuts buffer(s), and the single character
# ':' can be used as a target to invoke the goto URL buffer (as if 'g'oto
# followed by Up-Arrow had been entered).
#
#JUMPBUFFER:FALSE
.h1 Internal Behavior
.h2 SAVE_SPACE
# If SAVE_SPACE is defined, it will be used as a path prefix for the
# suggested filename in "Save to Disk" operations from the 'p'rint or
# 'd'ownload menus. On VMS, you can use either VMS (e.g., "SYS$LOGIN:")
# or Unix syntax (including '~' for the HOME directory). On Unix, you
# must use Unix syntax. If the symbol is not defined, or is zero-length
# (""), no prefix will be used, and only a filename for saving in the
# current default directory will be suggested.
# This definition will be overridden if a "LYNX_SAVE_SPACE" environment
# variable has been set on Unix, or logical has been defined on VMS.
#
#SAVE_SPACE:~/foo/
.h2 REUSE_TEMPFILES
# Lynx uses temporary files for (among other purposes) the content of
# various user interface pages. REUSE_TEMPFILES changes the behavior
# for some of these temp files, among them pages shown for HISTORY,
# VLINKS, OPTIONS, INFO, PRINT, DOWNLOAD commands.
# If set to TRUE, the same file can be used multiple times for the same
# purpose. If set to FALSE, a new filename is generated each time before
# rewriting such a page. With TRUE, repeated invocation of these commands
# is less likely to push previous documents out of the cache of rendered
# texts (see also DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE). This is especially useful with
# intermittent (dialup) network connections, when it is desirable to
# continue browsing through the cached documents after disconnecting.
# With the default setting of FALSE, there can be more than one incarnation
# of e.g. the VLINKS page cached in memory (but still only the most recently
# generated one is kept as a file), resulting in sometimes less surprising
# behaviour when returning to such a page via HISTORY or PREV_DOC functions
# (most users will not encounter and notice this difference).
#
#REUSE_TEMPFILES:FALSE
.h2 LYNX_HOST_NAME
# If LYNX_HOST_NAME is defined here or in userdefs.h, it will be
# treated as an alias for the local host name in checks for URLs on
# the local host (e.g., when the -localhost switch is set), and this
# host name, "localhost", and HTHostName (the fully qualified domain
# name of the system on which Lynx is running) will all be passed as
# local. A different definition here will override that in userdefs.h.
#
#LYNX_HOST_NAME:www.cc.ukans.edu
.h2 LOCALHOST_ALIAS
# localhost aliases
# Any LOCALHOST_ALIAS definitions also will be accepted as local when
# the -localhost switch is set. These need not actually be local, i.e.,
# in contrast to LYNX_HOST_NAME, you can define them to trusted hosts at
# other Internet sites.
#
.ex 2
#LOCALHOST_ALIAS:gopher.server.domain
#LOCALHOST_ALIAS:news.server.domain
.h2 LOCAL_DOMAIN
# LOCAL_DOMAIN is used for a tail match with the ut_host element of
# the utmp or utmpx structure on systems with utmp capabilities, to
# determine if a user is local to your campus or organization when
# handling -restrictions=inside_foo or outside_foo settings for ftp,
# news, telnet/tn3270 and rlogin URLs. An "inside" user is assumed
# if your system does not have utmp capabilities. CHANGE THIS here
# if it was not changed in userdefs.h at compilation time.
#
#LOCAL_DOMAIN:ukans.edu
.h1 Character sets
.h2 CHARACTER_SET
# CHARACTER_SET defines the display character set, i.e., assumed to be
# installed on the user's terminal. It determines which characters or strings
# will be used to represent 8-bit character entities within HTML. New
# character sets may be defined as explained in the README files of the
# src/chrtrans directory in the Lynx source code distribution. For Asian (CJK)
# character sets, it also determines how Kanji code will be handled. The
# default is defined in userdefs.h and can be changed here or via the
# 'o'ptions menu. The 'o'ptions menu setting will be stored in the user's RC
# file whenever those settings are saved, and thereafter will be used as the
# default. For Lynx a "character set" has two names: a MIME name (for
# recognizing properly labeled charset parameters in HTTP headers etc.), and a
# human-readable string for the 'O'ptions Menu (so you may find info about
# language or group of languages besides MIME name). Not all 'human-readable'
# names correspond to exactly one valid MIME charset (example is "Chinese");
# in that case an appropriate valid (and more specific) MIME name should be
# used where required. Well-known synonyms are also processed in the code.
#
# Raw (CJK) mode
#
# Lynx normally translates characters from a document's charset to display
# charset, using ASSUME_CHARSET value (see below) if the document's charset
# is not specified explicitly. Raw (CJK) mode is OFF for this case.
# When the document charset is specified explicitly, that charset
# overrides any assumption like ASSUME_CHARSET or raw (CJK) mode.
#
# For the Asian (CJK) display character sets, the corresponding charset is
# assumed in documents, i.e., raw (CJK) mode is ON by default. In raw CJK
# mode, 8-bit characters are not reverse translated in relation to the entity
# conversion arrays, i.e., they are assumed to be appropriate for the display
# character set. The mode should be toggled OFF when an Asian (CJK) display
# character set is selected but the document is not CJK and its charset not
# specified explicitly.
#
# Raw (CJK) mode may be toggled by user via '@' (LYK_RAW_TOGGLE) key,
# the -raw command line switch or from the 'o'ptions menu.
#
# Raw (CJK) mode effectively changes the charset assumption about unlabeled
# documents. You can toggle raw mode ON if you believe the document has a
# charset which does correspond to your Display Character Set. On the other
# hand, if you set ASSUME_CHARSET the same as Display Character Set you get raw
# mode ON by default (but you get assume_charset=iso-8859-1 if you try raw mode
# OFF after it).
#
# Note that "raw" does not mean that every byte will be passed to the screen.
# HTML character entities may get expanded and translated, inappropriate
# control characters filtered out, etc. There is a "Transparent" pseudo
# character set for more "rawness".
#
# Since Lynx now supports a wide range of platforms it may be useful to note
# the cpXXX codepages used by IBM PC compatible computers, and windows-xxxx
# used by native MS-Windows apps. We also note that cpXXX pages rarely are
# found on Internet, but are mostly for local needs on DOS.
#
# Recognized character sets include:

#
#CHARACTER_SET:iso-8859-1
.h2 ASSUME_CHARSET
# ASSUME_CHARSET 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 the HTTP protocol). When ASSUME_CHARSET
# is defined here or by an -assume_charset command line flag is in effect,
# Lynx will treat documents as if they were encoded accordingly.
# See above on how this interacts with "raw mode" and the Display
# Character Set.
# ASSUME_CHARSET can also be changed via the 'o'ptions menu but will
# not be saved as permanent value in user's .lynxrc file to avoid more chaos.
#
#ASSUME_CHARSET:iso-8859-1
.h2 ASSUMED_DOC_CHARSET_CHOICE
.h2 DISPLAY_CHARSET_CHOICE
# It is possible to reduce the number of charset choices in the 'O'ptions menu
# for "display charset" and "assumed document charset" fields via
# DISPLAY_CHARSET_CHOICE and ASSUMED_DOC_CHARSET_CHOICE settings correspondingly.
# Each of these settings can be used several times to define the set of possible
# choices for corresponding field. The syntax for the values is
#
# string | prefix* | *
#
# where
#
# 'string' is either the MIME name of charset or it's full name (listed
# either in the left or in the right column of table of
# recognized charsets), case-insensitive - e.g. 'Koi8-R' or
# 'Cyrillic (KOI8-R)' (both without quotes),
#
# 'prefix' is any string, and such value will select all charsets having
# the name with prefix matching given (case insensitive), i.e.,
# for the charsets listed in the table of recognized charsets,
#
.ex
# ASSUMED_DOC_CHARSET_CHOICE:cyrillic*
# will be equal to specifying
.ex 4
# ASSUMED_DOC_CHARSET_CHOICE:cp866
# ASSUMED_DOC_CHARSET_CHOICE:windows-1251
# ASSUMED_DOC_CHARSET_CHOICE:koi8-r
# ASSUMED_DOC_CHARSET_CHOICE:iso-8859-5
# or lines with full names of charsets.
#
# literal string '*' (without quotes) will enable all charset choices
# in corresponding field. This is useful for overriding site
# defaults in private pieces of lynx.cfg included via INCLUDE
# directive.
#
# Default values for both settings are '*', but any occurrence of settings
# with values that denote any charsets will make only listed choices available
# for corresponding field.
#ASSUMED_DOC_CHARSET_CHOICE:*
#DISPLAY_CHARSET_CHOICE:*
.h2 ASSUME_LOCAL_CHARSET
# ASSUME_LOCAL_CHARSET is like ASSUME_CHARSET but only applies to local
# files. If no setting is given here or by an -assume_local_charset
# command line option, the value for ASSUME_CHARSET or -assume_charset
# is used. It works for both text/plain and text/html files.
# This option will ignore "raw mode" toggling when local files are viewed
# (it is "stronger" than "assume_charset" or the effective change
# of the charset assumption caused by changing "raw mode"),
# so only use when necessary.
#
#ASSUME_LOCAL_CHARSET:iso-8859-1
.h2 PREPEND_CHARSET_TO_SOURCE
# PREPEND_CHARSET_TO_SOURCE:TRUE tells Lynx to prepend a META CHARSET line
# to text/html source files when they are retrieved for 'd'ownloading
# or passed to 'p'rint functions, so HTTP headers will not be lost.
# This is necessary for resolving charset for local html files,
# while the assume_local_charset is just an assumption.
# For the 'd'ownload option, a META CHARSET will be added only if the HTTP
# charset is present. The compilation default is TRUE.
# It is generally desirable to have charset information for every local
# html file, but META CHARSET string potentially could cause
# compatibility problems with other browsers, see also PREPEND_BASE_TO_SOURCE.
# Note that the prepending is not done for -source dumps.
#
#PREPEND_CHARSET_TO_SOURCE:TRUE
.h2 NCR_IN_BOOKMARKS
# NCR_IN_BOOKMARKS:TRUE allows you to save 8-bit characters in bookmark titles
# in the unicode format (NCR). This may be useful if you need to switch
# display charsets frequently. This is the case when you use Lynx on different
# platforms, e.g., on UNIX and from a remote PC, and want to keep the bookmarks
# file persistent.
# Another aspect is compatibility: NCR is part of I18N and HTML4.0
# specifications supported starting with Lynx 2.7.2, Netscape 4.0 and MSIE 4.0.
# Older browser versions will fail so keep NCR_IN_BOOKMARKS:FALSE if you
# plan to use them.
#
#NCR_IN_BOOKMARKS:FALSE
.h2 FORCE_8BIT_TOUPPER
# FORCE_8BIT_TOUPPER overrides locale settings and uses internal 8-bit
# case-conversion mechanism for case-insensitive searches in non-ASCII display
# character sets. It is FALSE by default and should not be changed unless
# you encounter problems with case-insensitive searches.
#
#FORCE_8BIT_TOUPPER:FALSE
.h2 OUTGOING_MAIL_CHARSET
# While Lynx supports different platforms and display character sets
# we need to limit the charset in outgoing mail to reduce
# trouble for remote recipients who may not recognize our charset.
# You may try US-ASCII as the safest value (7 bit), any other MIME name,
# or leave this field blank (default) to use the display character set.
# Charset translations currently are implemented for mail "subjects= " only.
#
#OUTGOING_MAIL_CHARSET:
.h2 ASSUME_UNREC_CHARSET
# If Lynx encounters a charset parameter it doesn't recognize, it will
# replace the value given by ASSUME_UNREC_CHARSET (or a corresponding
# -assume_unrec_charset command line option) for it. This can be used
# to deal with charsets unknown to Lynx, if they are "sufficiently
# similar" to one that Lynx does know about, by forcing the same
# treatment. There is no default, and you probably should leave this
# undefined unless necessary.
#
#ASSUME_UNREC_CHARSET:iso-8859-1
.h2 PREFERRED_LANGUAGE
# PREFERRED_LANGUAGE is the language in MIME notation (e.g., "en",
# "fr") which will be indicated by Lynx in its Accept-Language headers
# as the preferred language. If available, the document will be
# transmitted in that language. Users can override this setting via
# the 'o'ptions menu and save that preference in their RC file.
# This may be a comma-separated list of languages in decreasing preference.
#
#PREFERRED_LANGUAGE:en
.h2 PREFERRED_CHARSET
# PREFERRED_CHARSET specifies the character set in MIME notation (e.g.,
# "ISO-8859-2", "ISO-8859-5") which Lynx will indicate you prefer in
# requests to http servers using an Accept-Charsets header. Users can
# change it via the 'o'ptions menu and save that preference in their RC file.
# The value should NOT include "ISO-8859-1" or "US-ASCII",
# since those values are always assumed by default.
# If a file in that character set is available, the server will send it.
# If no Accept-Charset header is present, the default is that any
# character set is acceptable. If an Accept-Charset header is present,
# and if the server cannot send a response which is acceptable
# according to the Accept-Charset header, then the server SHOULD send
# an error response with the 406 (not acceptable) status code, though
# the sending of an unacceptable response is also allowed. See RFC 2068

.h2 URL_DOMAIN_SUFFIXES
# URL_DOMAIN_PREFIXES and URL_DOMAIN_SUFFIXES are strings which will be
# prepended (together with a scheme://) and appended to the first element
# of command line or 'g'oto arguments which are not complete URLs and
# cannot be opened as a local file (file://localhost/string). Both
# can be comma-separated lists. Each prefix must end with a dot, each
# suffix must begin with a dot, and either may contain other dots (e.g.,
# .com.jp). The default lists are defined in userdefs.h and can be
# replaced here. Each prefix will be used with each suffix, in order,
# until a valid Internet host is created, based on a successful DNS
# lookup (e.g., foo will be tested as www.foo.com and then www.foo.edu
# etc.). The first element can include a :port and/or /path which will
# be restored with the expanded host (e.g., wfbr:8002/dir/lynx will
# become http://www.wfbr.edu:8002/dir/lynx). The prefixes will not be
# used if the first element ends in a dot (or has a dot before the
# :port or /path), and similarly the suffixes will not be used if the
# the first element begins with a dot (e.g., .nyu.edu will become
# http://www.nyu.edu without testing www.nyu.com). Lynx will try to
# guess the scheme based on the first field of the expanded host name,
# and use "http://" as the default (e.g., gopher.wfbr.edu or gopher.wfbr.
# will be made gopher://gopher.wfbr.edu).
#
#URL_DOMAIN_PREFIXES:www.
#URL_DOMAIN_SUFFIXES:.com,.edu,.net,.org
.h2 FORMS_OPTIONS
# Toggle whether the Options Menu is key-based or form-based;
# the key-based version is available only if specified at compile time.
FORMS_OPTIONS:FALSE
.h2 PARTIAL
# Display partial pages while downloading
#PARTIAL:TRUE
.h2 PARTIAL_THRES
# Set the threshold # of lines Lynx must render before it
# redraws the screen in PARTIAL mode. Anything < 0 implies
# use of the screen size.
#PARTIAL_THRES:-1
.h2 SHOW_KB_RATE
# While getting large files, Lynx shows the approximate rate of transfer.
# Set this to change the units shown:
# TRUE or KB for KB/sec.
# FALSE or BYTES for bytes/sec.
# KB,ETA to show KB/sec with estimated completion time.
# BYTES,ETA to show BYTES/sec with estimated completion time.
# NONE to disable the display of transfer rate altogether.

.h2 INFOSECS
.h2 MESSAGESECS
.h2 ALERTSECS
# The following three definitions set the number of seconds for
# pauses following statusline messages that would otherwise be
# replaced immediately, and are more important than the unpaused
# progress messages. Those set by INFOSECS are also basically
# progress messages (e.g., that a prompted input has been canceled)
# and should have the shortest pause. Those set by MESSAGESECS are
# informational (e.g., that a function is disabled) and should have
# a pause of intermediate duration. Those set by ALERTSECS typically
# report a serious problem and should be paused long enough to read
# whenever they appear (typically unexpectedly). The default values
# are defined in userdefs.h, and can be modified here should longer
# pauses be desired for braille-based access to Lynx.

.h1 Appearance
# These settings category control the appearance of Lynx's screen and the way
# Lynx renders some tags.
.h2 USE_SELECT_POPUPS
# If USE_SELECT_POPUPS is set FALSE, Lynx will present a vertical list of
# radio buttons for the OPTIONs in SELECT blocks which lack the MULTIPLE
# attribute, instead of using a popup menu. Note that if the MULTIPLE
# attribute is present in the SELECT start tag, Lynx always will create a
# vertical list of checkboxes for the OPTIONs.
# The default defined here or in userdefs.h can be changed via the 'o'ptions
# menu and saved in the RC file, and always can be toggled via the -popup
# command line switch.
#
#USE_SELECT_POPUPS:TRUE
.h2 SHOW_CURSOR
# SHOW_CURSOR controls whether or not the cursor is hidden or appears
# over the current link in documents or the current option in popups.
# Showing the cursor is handy if you are a sighted user with a poor
# terminal that can't do bold and reverse video at the same time or
# at all. It also can be useful to blind users, as an alternative
# or supplement to setting LINKS_AND_FIELDS_ARE_NUMBERED or
# LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED.
# The default defined here or in userdefs.h can be changed via the
# 'o'ptions menu and saved in the RC file, and always can be toggled
# via the -show_cursor command line switch.
#
SHOW_CURSOR:TRUE
.h2 BOLD_HEADERS
# If BOLD_HEADERS is set to TRUE the HT_BOLD default style will be acted
# upon for <H1> through <H6> headers. The compilation default is FALSE
# (only the indentation styles are acted upon, but see BOLD_H1, below).
# On Unix, compilation with -DUNDERLINE_LINKS also will apply to the
# HT_BOLD style for headers when BOLD_HEADERS is TRUE.
#
#BOLD_HEADERS:FALSE
.h2 BOLD_H1
# If BOLD_H1 is set to TRUE the HT_BOLD default style will be acted
# upon for <H1> headers even if BOLD_HEADERS is FALSE. The compilation
# default is FALSE. On Unix, compilation with -DUNDERLINE_LINKS also
# will apply to the HT_BOLD style for headers when BOLD_H1 is TRUE.
#
#BOLD_H1:FALSE
.h2 BOLD_NAME_ANCHORS
# If BOLD_NAME_ANCHORS is set to TRUE the content of anchors without
# an HREF attribute, (i.e., anchors with a NAME or ID attribute) will
# have the HT_BOLD default style. The compilation default is FALSE.
# On Unix, compilation with -DUNDERLINE_LINKS also will apply to the
# HT_BOLD style for NAME (ID) anchors when BOLD_NAME_ANCHORS is TRUE.
#
#BOLD_NAME_ANCHORS:FALSE
.h1 Internal Behavior
.h2 DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE
.h2 DEFAULT_VIRTUAL_MEMORY_SIZE
# The DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE specifies the number of WWW documents to be
# cached in memory at one time.
#
# This so-called cache size (actually, number) is defined in userdefs.h and
# may be modified here and/or with the command line argument -cache=NUMBER
# The minimum allowed value is 2, for the current document and at least one
# to fetch, and there is no absolute maximum number of cached documents.
# On Unix, and VMS not compiled with VAXC, whenever the number is exceeded
# the least recently displayed document will be removed from memory.
#
# On VMS compiled with VAXC, the DEFAULT_VIRTUAL_MEMORY_SIZE specifies the
# amount (bytes) of virtual memory that can be allocated and not yet be freed
# before previous documents are removed from memory. If the values for both
# the DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE and DEFAULT_VIRTUAL_MEMORY_SIZE are exceeded, then
# the least recently displayed documents will be freed until one or the other
# value is no longer exceeded. The default value is defined in userdefs.h.
#
# The Unix and VMS (but not VAXC) implementations use the C library malloc's
# and calloc's for memory allocation, but procedures for taking the actual
# amount of cache into account still need to be developed. They use only
# the DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE value, and that specifies the absolute maximum
# number of documents to cache (rather than the maximum number only if
# DEFAULT_VIRTUAL_MEMORY_SIZE has been exceeded, as with VAXC/VAX).
#
DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE:100
DEFAULT_VIRTUAL_MEMORY_SIZE:4096000
.h2 SOURCE_CACHE
# SOURCE_CACHE sets the source caching behavior for Lynx:
# FILE causes Lynx to keep a temporary file for each cached document
# containing the HTML source of the document, which it uses to regenerate
# the document when certain settings are changed (for instance,
# historical vs. minimal vs. valid comment parsing) instead of reloading
# the source from the network.
# MEMORY is like FILE, except the document source is kept in memory. You
# may wish to adjust DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE and DEFAULT_VIRTUAL_MEMORY_SIZE
# accordingly.
# NONE is the default; the document source is not cached, and is reloaded
# from the network when needed.
#
SOURCE_CACHE:MEMORY
.h2 SOURCE_CACHE_FOR_ABORTED
# This setting controls what will happen with cached source for the document
# being fetched from the net if fetching was aborted (either user pressed
# 'z' or network went down). If set to KEEP, the source fetched so far will
# be preserved (and used as cache), if set to DROP lynx will drop the
# source cache for that document (i.e. only completely downloaded documents
# will be cached in that case).
#SOURCE_CACHE_FOR_ABORTED:DROP
.h2 ALWAYS_RESUBMIT_POSTS
# If ALWAYS_RESUBMIT_POSTS is set TRUE, Lynx always will resubmit forms
# with method POST, dumping any cache from a previous submission of the
# form, including when the document returned by that form is sought with
# the PREV_DOC command or via the history list. Lynx always resubmits
# forms with method POST when a submit button or a submitting text input
# is activated, but normally retrieves the previously returned document
# if it had links which you activated, and then go back with the PREV_DOC
# command or via the history list.
#
# The default defined here or in userdefs.h can be toggled via
# the -resubmit_forms command line switch.
#
#ALWAYS_RESUBMIT_POSTS:FALSE
.h1 HTML Parsing
.h2 NO_ISMAP_IF_USEMAP
# If NO_ISMAP_IF_USEMAP is set TRUE, Lynx will not include a link to the
# server-side image map if both a server-side and client-side map for the
# same image is indicated in the HTML markup. The compilation default is
# FALSE, such that a link with "[ISMAP]" as the link name, followed by a
# hyphen, will be prepended to the ALT string or "[USEMAP]" pseudo-ALT for
# accessing Lynx's text-based rendition of the client-side map (based on
# the content of the associated MAP element). If the "[ISMAP]" link is
# activated, Lynx will send a 0,0 coordinate pair to the server, which
# Lynx-friendly sites can map to a for-text-client document, homologous
# to what is intended for the content of a FIG element.
#
# The compilation default, or default defined here, can be toggled via
# the "-ismap" command line switch.
#
#NO_ISMAP_IF_USEMAP:FALSE
.h2 SEEK_FRAG_MAP_IN_CUR
# If SEEK_FRAG_MAP_IN_CUR is set FALSE, then USEMAP attribute values
# (in IMG or OBJECT tags) consisting of only a fragment (USEMAP="#foo")
# will be resolved with respect to the current document's base, which
# might not be the same as the current document's URL.
# The compilation default is to use the current document's URL in all
# cases (i.e., assume the MAP is present below, if it wasn't present
# above the point in the HTML stream where the USEMAP attribute was
# detected). Lynx's present "single pass" rendering engine precludes
# checking below before making the decision on how to resolve a USEMAP
# reference consisting solely of a fragment.
#
#SEEK_FRAG_MAP_IN_CUR:TRUE
.h2 SEEK_FRAG_AREA_IN_CUR
# If SEEK_FRAG_AREA_IN_CUR is set FALSE, then HREF attribute values
# in AREA tags consisting of only a fragment (HREF="#foo") will be
# resolved with respect to the current document's base, which might
# not be the same as the current document's URL. The compilation
# default is to use the current document's URL, as is done for the
# HREF attribute values of Anchors and LINKs that consist solely of
# a fragment.
#
#SEEK_FRAG_AREA_IN_CUR:TRUE
.h1 CGI scripts
# These settings control Lynx's ability to execute various types of scripts.
.h2 LOCAL_EXECUTION_LINKS_ALWAYS_ON
.h2 LOCAL_EXECUTION_LINKS_ON_BUT_NOT_REMOTE
# Local execution links and scripts are by default completely disabled,
# unless a change is made to the userdefs.h file to enable them or
# the configure script is used with the corresponding options
# (--enable-exec-links and --enable-exec-scripts).
# See the Lynx source code distribution and the userdefs.h
# file for more detail on enabling execution links and scripts.
#
# If you have enabled execution links or scripts the following
# two variables control Lynx's action when an execution link
# or script is encountered.
#
# If LOCAL_EXECUTION_LINKS_ALWAYS_ON is set to TRUE any execution
# link or script will be executed no matter where it came from.
# This is EXTREMELY dangerous. Since Lynx can access files from
# anywhere in the world, you may encounter links or scripts that
# will cause damage or compromise the security of your system.
#
# If LOCAL_EXECUTION_LINKS_ON_BUT_NOT_REMOTE is set to TRUE only
# links or scripts that reside on the local machine and are
# referenced with a URL beginning with "file://localhost/" or meet
# TRUSTED_EXEC or ALWAYS_TRUSTED_EXEC rules (see below) will be
# executed. This is much less dangerous than enabling all execution
# links, but can still be dangerous.
#
#LOCAL_EXECUTION_LINKS_ALWAYS_ON:FALSE
LOCAL_EXECUTION_LINKS_ON_BUT_NOT_REMOTE:TRUE
.h2 TRUSTED_EXEC
# If LOCAL_EXECUTION_LINK_ON_BUT_NOT_REMOTE is TRUE, and no TRUSTED_EXEC
# rule is defined, it defaults to "file://localhost/" and any lynxexec
# or lynxprog command will be permitted if it was referenced from within
# a document whose URL begins with that string. If you wish to restrict the
# referencing URLs further, you can extend the string to include a trusted
# path. You also can specify a trusted directory for http URLs, which will
# then be treated as if they were local rather than remote. For example:
#
# TRUSTED_EXEC:file://localhost/trusted/
# TRUSTED_EXEC:http://www.wfbr.edu/trusted/
#
# If you also wish to restrict the commands which can be executed, create
# a series of rules with the path (Unix) or command name (VMS) following
# the string, separated by a tab. For example:
#
# Unix:
# ====
# TRUSTED_EXEC:file://localhost/<tab>/bin/cp
# TRUSTED_EXEC:file://localhost/<tab>/bin/rm
# VMS:
# ===
# TRUSTED_EXEC:file://localhost/<tab>copy
# TRUSTED_EXEC:file://localhost/<tab>delete
#
# Once you specify a TRUSTED_EXEC referencing string, the default is
# replaced, and all the referencing strings you desire must be specified
# as a series. Similarly, if you associate a command with the referencing
# string, you must specify all of the allowable commands as a series of
# TRUSTED_EXEC rules for that string. If you specify ALWAYS_TRUSTED_EXEC
# rules below, you need not repeat them as TRUSTED_EXEC rules.
#
# If EXEC_LINKS and JUMPFILE have been defined, any lynxexec or lynxprog
# URLs in that file will be permitted, regardless of other settings. If
# you also set LOCAL_EXECUTION_LINKS_ON_BUT_NOT_REMOTE:TRUE and a single
# TRUSTED_EXEC rule that will always fail (e.g., "none"), then *ONLY* the
# lynxexec or lynxprog URLs in JUMPFILE (and any ALWAYS_TRUSTED_EXEC rules,
# see below) will be allowed. Note, however, that if Lynx was compiled with
# CAN_ANONYMOUS_JUMP set to FALSE (default is TRUE), or -restrictions=jump
# is included with the -anonymous switch at run time, then users of an
# anonymous account will not be able to access the jumps file or enter
# 'j'ump shortcuts, and this selective execution feature will be overridden
# as well (i.e., they will only be able to access lynxexec or lynxprog
# URLs which meet any ALWAYS_TRUSTED_EXEC rules).
#
#TRUSTED_EXEC:none
.h2 ALWAYS_TRUSTED_EXEC
# If EXEC_LINKS was defined, any lynxexec or lynxprog URL can be made
# always enabled by an ALWAYS_TRUSTED_EXEC rule for it. This is useful for
# anonymous accounts in which you have disabled execution links generally,
# and may also have disabled jumps file links, but still want to allow
# execution of particular utility scripts or programs. The format is
# like that for TRUSTED_EXEC. For example:
#
# Unix:
# ====
# ALWAYS_TRUSTED_EXEC:file://localhost/<tab>/usr/local/kinetic/bin/usertime
# ALWAYS_TRUSTED_EXEC:http://www.more.net/<tab>/usr/local/kinetic/bin/who.sh
# VMS:
# ===
# ALWAYS_TRUSTED_EXEC:file://localhost/<tab>usertime
# ALWAYS_TRUSTED_EXEC:http://www.more.net/<tab>show users
#
# The default ALWAYS_TRUSTED_EXEC rule is "none".
#
#ALWAYS_TRUSTED_EXEC:none
.h2 TRUSTED_LYNXCGI
# Unix:
# =====
# TRUSTED_LYNXCGI rules define the permitted sources and/or paths for
# lynxcgi links (if LYNXCGI_LINKS is defined in userdefs.h). The format
# is the same as for TRUSTED_EXEC rules (see above), but no defaults are
# defined, i.e., if no TRUSTED_LYNXCGI rules are defined here, any source
# and path for lynxcgi links will be permitted. Example rules:
#
# TRUSTED_LYNXCGI:file://localhost/
# TRUSTED_LYNXCGI:<tab>/usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin/
# TRUSTED_LYNXCGI:file://localhost/<tab>/usr/local/www/cgi-bin/
#
# VMS:
# ====
# Do not define this.
#
#TRUSTED_LYNXCGI:none
.h2 LYNXCGI_ENVIRONMENT
# Unix:
# =====
# LYNXCGI_ENVIRONMENT adds the current value of the specified
# environment variable to the list of environment variables passed on to the
# lynxcgi script. Useful variables are HOME, USER, etc... If proxies
# are in use, and the script invokes another copy of lynx (or a program like
# wget) in a subsidiary role, it can be useful to add http_proxy and other
# *_proxy variables.
#
# VMS:
# ====
# Do not define this.
#
#LYNXCGI_ENVIRONMENT:
.h2 LYNXCGI_DOCUMENT_ROOT
# Unix:
# =====
# LYNXCGI_DOCUMENT_ROOT is the value of DOCUMENT_ROOT that will be passed
# to lynxcgi scripts. If set and the URL has PATH_INFO data, then
# PATH_TRANSLATED will also be generated. Examples:
# LYNXCGI_DOCUMENT_ROOT:/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs
# LYNXCGI_DOCUMENT_ROOT:/data/htdocs/
#
# VMS:
# ====
# Do not define this.
#
#LYNXCGI_DOCUMENT_ROOT:
.h1 Cookies
.h2 FORCE_SSL_COOKIES_SECURE
# If FORCE_SSL_COOKIES_SECURE is set to TRUE, then SSL encrypted cookies
# received from https servers never will be sent unencrypted to http
# servers. The compilation default is to impose this block only if the
# https server included a secure attribute for the cookie. The normal
# default or that defined here can be toggled via the -force_secure
# command line switch.
#
FORCE_SSL_COOKIES_SECURE:TRUE
.h1 Internal Behavior
.h2 MAIL_SYSTEM_ERROR_LOGGING
# MAIL_SYSTEM_ERROR_LOGGING will send a message to the owner of
# the information, or ALERTMAIL if there is no owner, every time
# that a document cannot be accessed!
#
# NOTE: This can generate A LOT of mail, be warned.
#
#MAIL_SYSTEM_ERROR_LOGGING:FALSE
.h2 CHECKMAIL
# If CHECKMAIL is set to TRUE, the user will be informed (via a statusline
# message) about the existence of any unread mail at startup of Lynx, and
# will get statusline messages if subsequent new mail arrives. If a jumps
# file with a lynxprog URL for invoking mail is available, or your html
# pages include an mail launch file URL, the user thereby can access mail
# and read the messages. The checks and statusline reports will not be
# performed if Lynx has been invoked with the -restrictions=mail switch.
#
# VMS USERS !!!
# =============
# New mail is normally broadcast as it arrives, via "unsolicited screen
# broadcasts", which can be "wiped" from the Lynx display via the Ctrl-W
# command. You may prefer to disable the broadcasts and use CHECKMAIL
# instead (e.g., in a public account which will be used by people who
# are ignorant about VMS).
#
#CHECKMAIL:FALSE
.h1 News-groups
.h2 NNTPSERVER
# To enable news reading ability via Lynx, the environment variable NNTPSERVER
# must be set so that it points to your site's NNTP server
# (see Lynx Users Guide on environment variables).
# Lynx respects RFC 1738 (http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/uri/rfc1738.txt)
# and does not accept a host field in news URLs (use nntp: instead of news: for
# the scheme if you wish to specify an NNTP host in a URL, as explained in the
# RFC). If you have not set the variable externally, you can set it at run
# time via this configuration file. It will not override an external setting.
# Note that on VMS it is set as a process logical rather than symbol, and will
# outlive the Lynx image.
# The news reading facility in Lynx is quite limited. Lynx does not provide a
# full featured news reader with elaborate error checking and safety features.
#
#NNTPSERVER:news.server.dom
.h2 LIST_NEWS_NUMBERS
# If LIST_NEWS_NUMBERS is set TRUE, Lynx will use an ordered list and include
# the numbers of articles in news listings, instead of using an unordered
# list. The default is defined in userdefs.h, and can be overridden here.
#
LIST_NEWS_NUMBERS:TRUE
.h2 LIST_NEWS_DATES
# If LIST_NEWS_DATES is set TRUE, Lynx will include the dates of articles in
# news listings. The dates always are included in the articles, themselves.
# The default is defined in userdefs.h, and can be overridden here.
#
#LIST_NEWS_DATES:FALSE
.h2 NEWS_CHUNK_SIZE
.h2 NEWS_MAX_CHUNK
# NEWS_CHUNK_SIZE and NEWS_MAX_CHUNK regulate the chunking of news article
# listings with inclusion of links for listing earlier and/or later articles.
# The defaults are defined in HTNews.c as 30 and 40, respectively. If the
# news group contains more than NEWS_MAX_CHUNK articles, they will be listed
# in NEWS_CHUNK_SIZE chunks. You can change the defaults here, and/or on
# the command line via -newschunksize=NUMBER and/or -newsmaxchunk=NUMBER
# switches. Note that if the chunk size is increased, here or on the command
# line, to a value greater than the current maximum, the maximum will be
# increased to that number. Conversely, if the maximum is set to a number
# less than the current chunk size, the chunk size will be reduced to that
# number. Thus, you need use only one of the two switches on the command
# line, based on the direction of intended change relative to the compilation
# or configuration defaults. The compilation defaults ensure that there will
# be at least 10 earlier articles before bothering to chunk and create a link
# for earlier articles.
#
#NEWS_CHUNK_SIZE:30
#NEWS_MAX_CHUNK:40
.h2 NEWS_POSTING
# Set NEWS_POSTING to FALSE if you do not want to support posting to
# news groups via Lynx. If left TRUE, Lynx will use its news gateway to
# post new messages or followups to news groups, using the URL schemes
# described in the "Supported URLs" section of the online 'h'elp. The
# posts will be attempted via the nntp server specified in the URL, or
# if none was specified, via the NNTPSERVER configuration or environment
# variable. Links with these URLs for posting or sending followups are
# created by the news gateway when reading group listings or articles
# from nntp servers if the server indicates that it permits posting.
# The compilation default set in userdefs.h can be changed here. If
# the default is TRUE, posting can still be disallowed via the
# -restrictions command line switch.
# The posting facility in Lynx is quite limited. Lynx does not provide a
# full featured news poster with elaborate error checking and safety features.
#
#NEWS_POSTING:TRUE
.h2 LYNX_SIG_FILE
# LYNX_SIG_FILE defines the name of a file containing a signature which
# can be appended to email messages and news postings or followups. The
# user will be prompted whether to append it. It is sought in the home
# directory. If it is in a subdirectory, begin it with a dot-slash
# (e.g., ./lynx/.lynxsig). The definition is set in userdefs.h and can
# be changed here.
#
LYNX_SIG_FILE:./mail/.signature
.h1 Interaction
# These settings control interaction of the user with lynx.
.h2 SCROLLBAR
# If SCROLLBAR is set TRUE, Lynx will show scrollbar on windows. With mouse
# enabled, the scrollbar strip outside the bar is clickable, and scrolls the
# window by pages. The appearance of the scrollbar can be changed from
# LYNX_LSS file: define attributes scroll.bar, scroll.back (for the bar, and
# for the strip along which the scrollbar moves).
#SCROLLBAR:FALSE
.h2 SCROLLBAR_ARROW
# If SCROLLBAR_ARROW is set TRUE, Lynx's scrollbar will have arrows at the
# ends. With mouse enabled, the arrows are clickable, and scroll the window by
# 2 lines. The appearance of the scrollbar arrows can be changed from LYNX_LSS
# file: define attributes scroll.arrow, scroll.noarrow (for enabled-arrows,
# and disabled arrows). An arrow is "disabled" if the bar is at this end of
# the strip.
SCROLLBAR_ARROW:FALSE
.h2 USE_MOUSE
# If USE_MOUSE is set TRUE, Lynx (when configured with ncurses, PDcurses or
# slang) will allow the user to click with button-1 on links to select them.
# Other mouse-usable operations include: clicking on the top or bottom of a
# page to make it scroll up or down, clicking on the left edge to pop the
# history stack, to move to a text entry field, or manipulate a popup menu.
#
# ncurses and slang have built-in support for the xterm mouse protocol. In
# addition, ncurses can be linked with the gpm mouse library, to automatically
# provide support for this interface in applications such as Lynx. (Please
# read the ncurses faq to work around broken gpm configurations packaged by
# some distributors). PDCurses implements mouse support for win32 console
# windows, as does slang.
USE_MOUSE:FALSE
.h1 HTML Parsing
# These settings control the way Lynx parses invalid HTML
# and how it may resolve such issues.
.h2 COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS
# If COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS is set FALSE, Lynx will not collapse serial BR tags.
# If set TRUE, two or more concurrent BRs will be collapsed into a single
# line break. Note that the valid way to insert extra blank lines in HTML
# is via a PRE block with only newlines in the block.
#
#COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS:TRUE
.h2 TAGSOUP
# If TAGSOUP is set, Lynx uses the "Tag Soup DTD" rather than "SortaSGML".
# The two approaches differ by the style of error detection and recovery.
# Tag Soup DTD allows for improperly nested tags; SortaSGML is stricter.
#TAGSOUP:FALSE
.h1 Cookies
.h2 SET_COOKIES
# If SET_COOKIES is set FALSE, Lynx will ignore Set-Cookie headers
# in http server replies. Note that if a COOKIE_FILE is in use (see
# below) that contains cookies at startup, Lynx will still send those
# persistent cookies in requests as appropriate. Setting SET_COOKIES
# to FALSE just prevents accepting any new cookies from servers. To
# prevent all cookie processing (sending *and* receiving) in a session,
# make sure that PERSISTENT_COOKIES is not TRUE or that COOKIE_FILE does
# not point to a file with cookies, in addition to setting SET_COOKIES
# to FALSE.
# The default is defined in userdefs.h, and can be overridden here,
# and/or toggled via the -cookies command line switch.
#
#SET_COOKIES:TRUE
.h2 ACCEPT_ALL_COOKIES
# If ACCEPT_ALL_COOKIES is set TRUE, Lynx will accept cookies from all
# domains with no user interaction. This is equivalent to automatically
# replying to all cookie 'Allow?' prompts with 'A'lways. Note that it
# does not preempt validity checking, which has to be controlled separately
# (see below).
# The default is defined in userdefs.h and can be overridden here, or
# in the .lynxrc file via an o(ptions) screen setting. It may also be
# toggled via the -accept_all_cookies command line switch.
#
#ACCEPT_ALL_COOKIES:FALSE
.h2 COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS
.h2 COOKIE_REJECT_DOMAINS
# COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS and COOKIE_REJECT_DOMAINS are comma-delimited lists
# of domains from which Lynx should automatically accept or reject cookies
# without asking for confirmation. If the same domain is specified in both
# lists, rejection will take precedence.
# Note that in order to match cookies, domains have to be spelled out exactly
# in the form in which they would appear on the Cookie Jar page (case is
# insignificant). They are not wildcards. Domains that apply to more than
# one host have a leading '.', but have to match *the cookie's* domain
# exactly.
#
#COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS:
#COOKIE_REJECT_DOMAINS:
.h2 COOKIE_LOOSE_INVALID_DOMAINS
.h2 COOKIE_STRICT_INVALID_DOMAINS
.h2 COOKIE_QUERY_INVALID_DOMAINS
# COOKIE_LOOSE_INVALID_DOMAINS, COOKIE_STRICT_INVALID_DOMAINS, and
# COOKIE_QUERY_INVALID_DOMAINS are comma-delimited lists of domains.
# They control the degree of validity checking that is applied to cookies
# for the specified domains.
# Note that in order to match cookies, domains have to be spelled out exactly
# in the form in which they would appear on the Cookie Jar page (case is
# insignificant). They are not wildcards. Domains that apply to more than
# one host have a leading '.', but have to match *the cookie's* domain

.h2 DEFAULT_BOOKMARK_FILE
# DEFAULT_BOOKMARK_FILE is the filename used for storing personal bookmarks.
# It will be prepended by the user's home directory.
# NOTE that a file ending in .html or other suffix mapped to text/html
# should be used to ensure its treatment as HTML. The built-in default
# is lynx_bookmarks.html. On both Unix and VMS, if a subdirectory off of
# the HOME directory is desired, the path should begin with "./" (e.g.,
# ./BM/lynx_bookmarks.html), but the subdirectory must already exist.
# Lynx will create the bookmark file, if it does not already exist, on
# the first ADD_BOOKMARK attempt if the HOME directory is indicated
# (i.e., if the definition is just filename.html without any slashes),
# but requires a pre-existing subdirectory to create the file there.
# The user can re-define the default bookmark file, as well as a set
# of sub-bookmark files if multiple bookmark file support is enabled
# (see below), via the 'o'ptions menu, and can save those definitions
# in the .lynxrc file.

# first prompt the user to select an active sub-bookmark file or the
# default bookmark file. FALSE is the default so that one (the default)
# bookmark file will be available initially. The definition here will
# override that in userdefs.h. The user can turn on multiple bookmark
# support via the 'o'ptions menu, and can save that choice as the startup
# default via the .lynxrc file. When on, the setting can be STANDARD or
# ADVANCED. If SUPPORT is set to the latter, and the user mode also is
# ADVANCED, the VIEW_BOOKMARK command will invoke a statusline prompt at
# which the user can enter the letter token (A - Z) of the desired bookmark,
# or '=' to get a menu of available bookmark files. The menu always is
# presented in NOVICE or INTERMEDIATE mode, or if the SUPPORT is set to

# them externally, you can set them at run time via this configuration file.
# They will not override external settings. The no_proxy variable can be used
# to inhibit proxying to selected regions of the Web (see below). Note that on

.h2 PRINTER
.h2 DOWNLOADER
.h2 UPLOADER
# PRINTER, DOWNLOADER & UPLOADER DEFINITIONS:
# Lynx has 4 pre-defined print options & 1 pre-defined download option,
# which are called up on-screen when `p' or `d' are entered;
# any number of options can be added by the user, as explained below.
# Uploaders can be defined only for UNIX with DIRED_SUPPORT:
# see the Makefile in the top directory & the header of src/LYUpload.c .
#
# For `p' pre-defined options are: `Save to local file', `E-mail the file',
# `Print to screen' and `Print to local printer attached to vt100'.
# `Print to screen' allows file transfers in the absence of alternatives
# and is often the only option allowed here for anonymous users;
# the 3rd & 4th options are not pre-defined for DOS/WINDOWS versions of Lynx.
# For `d' the pre-defined option is: `Download to local file'.
#
# To define your own print or download option use the following formats:
#
# PRINTER:<name>:<command>:<option>:<lines/page>
#
# DOWNLOADER:<name>:<command>:<option>
#
# <name> is what you will see on the print/download screen.
#
# <command> is the command your system will execute:
# the 1st %s in the command will be replaced
# by the temporary filename used by Lynx;
# a 2nd %s will be replaced by a filename of your choice,
# for which Lynx will prompt, offering a suggestion.
# On Unix, which has pipes, you may use a '|' as the first
# character of the command, and Lynx will open a pipe to
# the command.
# If the command format of your printer/downloader requires
# a different layout, you will need to use a script
# (see the last 2 download examples below).
#
# <option> TRUE : the printer/downloader will always be ENABLED,
# except that downloading is disabled when -validate is used;
# FALSE : both will be DISABLED for anonymous users
# and printing will be disabled when -noprint is used.
#
# <lines/page> (printers: optional) the number of lines/page (default 66):
# used to compute the approximate output size
# and prompt if the document is > 4 printer pages;
# it uses current screen length for the computation
# when `Print to screen' is selected.
#
# You must put the whole definition on one line;
# if you use a colon, precede it with a backslash.
#
# `Printer' can be any file-handling program you find useful,
# even if it does not physically print anything.
#
# Usually, down/up-loading involves the use of (e.g.) Ckermit or ZModem
# to transfer files to a user's local machine over a serial link,
# but download options do not have to be download-protocol programs.
#
# Printer examples:
.ex 3
#PRINTER:Computer Center printer:lpr -Pccprt %s:FALSE
#PRINTER:Office printer:lpr -POffprt %s:TRUE
#PRINTER:VMS printer:print /queue=cc$print %s:FALSE:58
# If you have a very busy VMS print queue
# and Lynx deletes the temporary files before they have been queued,
# use the VMSPrint.com included in the distribution:
.ex
#PRINTER:Busy VMS printer:@Lynx_Dir\:VMSPrint sys$print %s:FALSE:58
# To specify a print option at run-time:
# NBB if you have ANONYMOUS users, DO NOT allow this option!
.ex
#PRINTER:Specify at run-time:echo -n "Enter a print command\: "; read word; sh -c "$word %s":FALSE
# To pass to a sophisticated file viewer: -k suppresses invocation
# of hex display mode if 8-bit or control characters are present;
# +s invokes secure mode (see ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/most):
.ex
#PRINTER:Use Most to view:most -k +s %s:TRUE:23
#
# Downloader examples:
# in Kermit, -s %s is the filename sent, -a %s the filename on arrival
# (if they are given in reverse order here, the command will fail):
.ex
#DOWNLOADER:Use Kermit to download to the terminal:kermit -i -s %s -a %s:TRUE
# NB don't use -k with Most, so that binaries will invoke hexadecimal mode:
.ex
#DOWNLOADER:Use Most to view:most +s %s:TRUE
# The following example gives wrong filenames
# (`sz' doesn't support a suggested filename parameter):
.ex
#DOWNLOADER:Use Zmodem to download to the local terminal:sz %s:TRUE
# The following example returns correct filenames
# by using a script to make a subdirectory in /tmp,
# but may conflict with very strong security or permissions restrictions:
.ex
#DOWNLOADER:Use Zmodem to download to the local terminal:set %s %s;td=/tmp/Lsz$$;mkdir $td;ln -s $1 $td/"$2";sz $td/"$2";rm -r $td:TRUE

.h2 NO_FROM_HEADER
# If NO_FROM_HEADER is set FALSE, From headers will be sent in transmissions

#
#NO_FROM_HEADER:TRUE
.h2 NO_REFERER_HEADER
# If NO_REFERER_HEADER is TRUE, Referer headers never will be sent in
# transmissions to servers. Lynx normally sends the URL of the document
# from which the link was derived, but not for startfile URLs, 'g'oto
# URLs, 'j'ump shortcuts, bookmark file links, history list links, or
# URLs that include the content from form submissions with method GET.
# If left FALSE here, it can be set TRUE at run time via the -noreferer
# switch.
#
NO_REFERER_HEADER:TRUE
.h1 Internal Behavior
.h2 NO_FILE_REFERER
# If NO_FILE_REFERER is TRUE, Referer headers never will be sent in
# transmissions to servers for links or actions derived from documents
# or forms with file URLs. This ensures that paths associated with
# the local file system are never indicated to servers, even if
# NO_REFERER_HEADER is FALSE. If set to FALSE here, it can still be
# set TRUE at run time via the -nofilereferer switch.
#
#NO_FILE_REFERER:TRUE
.h2 REFERER_WITH_QUERY
# REFERER_WITH_QUERY controls what happens when the URL in a Referer
# header to be sent would contain a query part in the form of a '?'
# character followed by one or more attribute=value pairs. Query parts
# often contain sensitive or personal information resulting from filling
# out forms, or other info that allows tracking of a user's browsing path
# through a site, an thus should not be put in a Referer header (which may
# get sent to an unrelated third-party site). On the other hand, some
# sites (improperly) rely on browsers sending Referer headers, even when
# the user is coming from a page whose URL has a query part.
#
# If REFERER_WITH_QUERY is SEND, full Referer headers will be sent
# including the query part (unless sending of Referer is disabled in
# general, see NO_REFERER_HEADER above). If REFERER_WITH_QUERY is
# PARTIAL, the Referer header will contain a partial URL, with the query
# part stripped off. This is not strictly correct, but should satisfy
# those sites that check only whether the user arrived at a page from an
# "outside" link. If REFERER_WITH_QUERY is set to DROP (or anything else
# unrecognized), the default, no Referer header is sent at all in this
# situation.

.h2 VERBOSE_IMAGES
# VERBOSE_IMAGES controls whether Lynx replaces [LINK], [INLINE] and [IMAGE]
# (for images without ALT) with filenames of these images.
# This can be useful in determining what images are important
# and which are mere decorations, e.g. button.gif, line.gif,
# provided the author uses meaningful names.

# The definition here will override the setting in userdefs.h.
#
#VERBOSE_IMAGES:TRUE
.h2 MAKE_LINKS_FOR_ALL_IMAGES
# If MAKE_LINKS_FOR_ALL_IMAGES is TRUE, all images will be given links
# which can be ACTIVATEd. For inlines, the ALT or pseudo-ALT ("[INLINE]")
# strings will be links for the resolved SRC rather than just text.
# For ISMAP or other graphic links, ALT or pseudo-ALT ("[ISMAP]" or "[LINK]")
# will have '-' and a link labeled "[IMAGE]" for the resolved SRC appended.
# See also VERBOSE_IMAGES flag.
#
# The definition here will override that in userdefs.h
# and can be toggled via an "-image_links" command-line switch.
# The user can also use the LYK_IMAGE_TOGGLE key (default `*')
# or `Show Images' in the Form-based Options Menu.
#
#MAKE_LINKS_FOR_ALL_IMAGES:FALSE
.h2 MAKE_PSEUDO_ALTS_FOR_INLINES
# If MAKE_PSEUDO_ALTS_FOR_INLINES is FALSE, inline images which don't specify
# an ALT string will not have "[INLINE]" inserted as a pseudo-ALT,
# i.e. they'll be treated as having ALT="".
# Otherwise (if TRUE), pseudo-ALTs will be created for inlines,

.h1 HTML Parsing
.h2 HISTORICAL_COMMENTS
# If HISTORICAL_COMMENTS is TRUE, Lynx will revert to the "Historical"
# behavior of treating any '>' as a terminator for comments, instead of
# seeking a valid '-->' terminator (note that white space can be present
# between the '--' and '>' in valid terminators). The compilation default
# is FALSE.
#
# The compilation default, or default defined here, can be toggled via a
# "-historical" command line switch, and via the LYK_HISTORICAL command key.
#
#HISTORICAL_COMMENTS:FALSE
.h2 MINIMAL_COMMENTS
# If MINIMAL_COMMENTS is TRUE, Lynx will not use Valid comment parsing
# of '--' pairs as serial comments within an overall comment element,
# and instead will seek only a '-->' terminator for the overall comment
# element. This emulates the Netscape v2.0 comment parsing bug, and
# will help Lynx cope with the use of dashes as "decorations", which
# consequently has become common in so-called "Enhanced for Netscape"
# pages. Note that setting Historical comments on will override the
# Minimal or Valid setting.
#
# The compilation default for MINIMAL_COMMENTS is FALSE, but we'll
# set it TRUE here, until Netscape gets its comment parsing right,
# and "decorative" dashes cease to be so common.
#
# The compilation default, or default defined here, can be toggled via a
# "-minimal" command line switch, and via the LYK_MINIMAL command key.
#
MINIMAL_COMMENTS:TRUE
.h2 SOFT_DQUOTES
# If SOFT_DQUOTES is TRUE, Lynx will emulate the invalid behavior of
# treating '>' as a co-terminator of a double-quoted attribute value
# and the tag which contains it, as was done in old versions of Netscape
# and Mosaic. The compilation default is FALSE.
#
# The compilation default, or default defined here, can be toggled via
# a "-soft_dquotes" command line switch.
#
#SOFT_DQUOTES:FALSE
.h2 STRIP_DOTDOT_URLS
# If STRIP_DOTDOT_URLS is TRUE, Lynx emulates the invalid behavior of many
# browsers to strip a leading "../" segment from relative URLs in HTML
# documents with a http or https base URL, if this would otherwise lead to
# an absolute URLs with those characters still in it. Such URLs are normally
# erroneous and not what is intended by page authors. Lynx will issue
# a warning message when this occurs.
#
# If STRIP_DOTDOT_URLS is FALSE, Lynx will use those URLs for requests
# without taking any special actions or issuing Warnings, in most cases
# this will result in an error response from the server.
#
# Note that Lynx never tries to fix similar URLs for protocols other than
# http and https, since they are less common and may actually be valid in
# some cases.
#
#STRIP_DOTDOT_URLS:TRUE
.h1 Appearance
.h2 ENABLE_SCROLLBACK
# If ENABLE_SCROLLBACK is TRUE, Lynx will clear the entire screen before
# displaying each new screenful of text. Though less efficient for normal
# use, this allows programs that maintain a buffer of previously-displayed
# text to recognize the continuity of what has been displayed, so that
# previous screenfuls can be reviewed by whatever method the program uses
# to scroll back through previous text. For example, the PC comm program
# QModem has a key that can be pressed to scroll back; if ENABLE_SCROLLBACK
# is TRUE, pressing the scrollback key will access previous screenfuls which
# will have been stored on the local PC and will therefore be displayed
# instantaneously, instead of needing to be retransmitted by Lynx at the
# speed of the comm connection (but Lynx will not know about the change,
# so you must restore the last screen before resuming with Lynx commands).
#
# The compilation default is FALSE (if REVERSE_CLEAR_SCREEN_PROBLEM was not
# defined in the Unix Makefile to invoke this behavior as a workaround for
# some poor curses implementations).
#
# The default compilation or configuration setting can be toggled via an
# "-enable_scrollback" command line switch.

ENABLE_SCROLLBACK:TRUE
.h2 SCAN_FOR_BURIED_NEWS_REFS
# If SCAN_FOR_BURIED_NEWS_REFS is set to TRUE, Lynx will scan the bodies
# of news articles for buried article and URL references and convert them
# to links. The compilation default is TRUE, but some email addresses
# enclosed in angle brackets ("<user at address>") might be converted to false
# news links, and uuencoded messages might be corrupted. The conversion is
# not done when the display is toggled to source or when 'd'ownloading, so
# uuencoded articles can be saved intact regardless of these settings.
#
# The default setting can be toggled via a "-buried_news" command line
# switch.
#
#SCAN_FOR_BURIED_NEWS_REFS:TRUE
.h2 PREPEND_BASE_TO_SOURCE
# If PREPEND_BASE_TO_SOURCE is set to FALSE, Lynx will not prepend a
# Request URL comment and BASE element to text/html source files when

# file extensions may be assigned to MIME types using
# the SUFFIX: definition.
#
# NOTE: It is normally preferable to define new extension mappings in
# EXTENSION_MAP files (see below) instead of here: Definitions
# here are overridden by those in EXTENSION_MAP files and even by
# some built-in defaults in src/HTInit.c. On the other hand,
# definitions here allow some more fields that are not possible
# in those files.
#
# Extension mappings have an effect mostly for ftp and local files,
# they are NOT used to determine the type of content for URLs with
# the http protocol. This is because HTTP servers already specify
# the MIME type in the Content-Type header. [It may still be
# necessary to set up an appropriate suffix for some MIME types,
# even if they are accessed only via the HTTP protocol, if the viewer
# (see below) for those MIME types requires a certain suffix for the
# temporary file passed to it.]

.h2 GLOBAL_EXTENSION_MAP
.h2 PERSONAL_EXTENSION_MAP
# The global and personal EXTENSION_MAP files allow you to assign extensions
# to MIME types which will override any of the suffix maps in this (lynx.cfg)
# configuration file, or in src/HTInit.c. See the example mime.types file
# in the samples subdirectory.

.h2 SUFFIX_ORDER
# With SUFFIX_ORDER the precedence of suffix mappings can be changed.
# Two kinds of settings are recognized:
#
# PRECEDENCE_OTHER or PRECEDENCE_HERE
# Suffix mappings can come from four sources: (1) SUFFIX rules
# given here - see below, (2) builtin defaults (HTInit.c), and the
# (3) GLOBAL_EXTENSION_MAP and (4) PERSONAL_EXTENSION_MAP files.
# The order of precedence is normally as listed: (1) has the
# *lowest*, (4) has the *highest* precedence if there are conflicts.
# In other words, SUFFIX mappings here are overridden by conflicting
# ones elsewhere. This default ordering is called PRECEDENCE_OTHER.
# With PRECEDENCE_HERE, the order becomes (2) (3) (4) (1), i.e.
# mappings here override others made elsewhere.
#
# NO_BUILTIN
# This disables all builtin default rules. In other words, (2) in the
# list above is skipped. Some recognition for compressed files (".gz",
# ".Z") is still hardwired. A mapping for some basic types, at least
# for text/html is probably necessary to get a usable configuration,
# it can be given in a SUFFIX rule below or an extension map file.
# Both kinds of settings can be combined, separated by comma as in
# SUFFIX_ORDER:PRECEDENCE_HERE,NO_BUILTIN
# Note: Using PRECEDENCE_HERE has only an effect on SUFFIX rules that follow.
# Moreover, if GLOBAL_EXTENSION_MAP or PERSONAL_EXTENSION_MAP directives
# are used, they should come *before* a SUFFIX_ORDER:PRECEDENCE_HERE.
#
#SUFFIX_ORDER:PRECEDENCE_OTHER
.h2 SUFFIX
# The SUFFIX definition takes the form of:
#
# SUFFIX:<file extension>:<mime type>:<encoding>:<quality>:<description>
#
# All fields after <mime type> are optional (including the separators
# if no more fields follow).
#
# <file extension> trailing end of file name. This need not strictly
# be a file extension as understood by the OS, a dot
# has to be given explicitly if it is indented, for
# some uses one could even match full filenames here.
# In addition, two forms are special: "*.*" and "*"
# refer to the defaults for otherwise unmatched files
# (the first for filenames with a dot somewhere in
# the name, the second without), these are currently
# mapped to text/plain in the (HTInit.c) builtin code.
#
# <mime type> a MIME content type. It can also contain a charset
# parameter, see example below. This should be given in
# all lowercase, use <description> for more fancy labels.
# It can be left empty if an HTTP style encoding is given.
#
# Fields in addition to the usual ones are
#
# <encoding> either a mail style trivial encoding (7bit, 8bit, binary)
# which could be used on some systems to determine how to
# open local files (currently it isn't), and is used to
# determine transfer mode for some FTP URLs; or a HTTP style
# content encoding (gzip (equivalent to x-gzip), compress)
#
# <quality> a floating point quality factor, usually between 0.0 and 1.0
# currently unused in most situations.
#
# <description> text that can appear in FTP directory listings, and in
# local directory listings (see LIST_FORMAT, code %t)
#
# For instance the following definition maps the
# extension ".gif" to the mime type "image/gif"
.ex
# SUFFIX:.gif:image/gif
#
# The following can be used if you have a convention to label
# HTML files in some character set that differs from your local
# default (see also ASSUME_LOCAL_CHARSET) with a different
# extension, here ".html-u8". It also demonstrates use of the
# description field, note extra separators for omitted fields:
.ex
# SUFFIX:.html-u8:text/html;charset=utf-8:::UTF-8 HTML
#
# The following shows how a suffix can indicate a combination
# of MIME type and compression method. (The ending ".ps.gz" should
# already be recognized by default; the form below could be used on
# systems that don't allow more than one dot in filenames.)
.ex
# SUFFIX:.ps_gz:application/postscript:gzip::gzip'd Postscript
#
# The following is meant to match a full filename (but can match
# any file ending in "core", so be careful):
.ex
# SUFFIX:core:application/x-core-file
#
# file suffixes are case INsensitive!
#
# The suffix definitions listed here in the default lynx.cfg file are
# similar to those normally established via src/HTInit.c. You can change
# the defaults by editing that file or disable them, or via the global or
# personal mime.types files at run time (except for the additional fields).
# Assignments made here are overridden by entries in those files
# unless preceded with a SUFFIX_ORDER:PRECEDENCE_HERE.

.h2 XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND
# VMS:
# ====
# XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND will be used as a default in src/HTInit.c
# for viewing image content types when the DECW$DISPLAY logical
# is set. Make it the foreign command for your system's X image
# viewer (commonly, "xv"). It can be anything that will handle GIF,
# TIFF and other popular image formats. Freeware ports of xv for
# VMS are available in the ftp://ftp.wku.edu/vms/unsupported and
# http://www.openvms.digital.com/cd/XV310A/ subdirectories. You
# must also have a "%s" for the filename. The default is defined
# in userdefs.h and can be overridden here, or via the global or
# personal mailcap files (see below).
#
# Make this empty (but no commented out) if you don't have such a
# viewer or don't want to disable the built-in default viewer
# mappings for image types.
#
XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND:xv %s
# Unix:
# =====
# XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND will be used as a default in src/HTInit.c for
# viewing image content types when the DISPLAY environment variable
# is set. Make it the full path and name of the xli (also know as
# xloadimage or xview) command, or other image viewer. It can be
# anything that will handle GIF, TIFF and other popular image formats
# (xli does). The freeware distribution of xli is available in the
# ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib subdirectory. The shareware, xv, also is
# suitable. You must also have a "%s" for the filename; "&" for
# background is optional. The default is defined in userdefs.h and can be
# overridden here, or via the global or personal mailcap files (see below).
# Make this empty (but not commented out) if you don't have such a
# viewer or don't want to disable the built-in default viewer
# mappings for image types.
# Note that open is used as the default for NeXT, instead of the
# XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND definition.
# If you use xli, you may want to add the -quiet flag.
#
#XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND:xli %s &
.h2 VIEWER
# MIME types may be assigned to external viewers using
# the VIEWER definition.
#
# NOTE: if you do not define a viewer to a new MIME type
# that you assigned above then it will be saved to
# disk by default.
# It is normally preferable to define new viewers in
# MAILCAP files (see below) instead of here: Definitions
# here are overridden by those in MAILCAP files and even
# by some built-in defaults in src/HTInit.c.
#
# The VIEWER definition takes the form of:
# VIEWER:<mime type>:<viewer command>[:environment]
# where -mime type is the MIME content type of the file
# -viewer command is a system command that can be
# used to display the file where %s is replaced
# within the command with the physical filename
# (e.g., "ghostview %s" becomes "ghostview /tmp/temppsfile")
# -environment is optional. The only valid keywords
# are currently XWINDOWS and NON_XWINDOWS. If the XWINDOWS
# environment is specified then the viewer will only be
# defined when the user has the environment variable DISPLAY
# (DECW$DISPLAY on VMS) defined. If the NON_XWINDOWS environment
# is specified the specified viewer will only be defined when the
# user DOES NOT have the environment variable DISPLAY defined.
# examples:
# VIEWER:image/gif:xli %s:XWINDOWS
# VIEWER:image/gif:ascii-view %s:NON_XWINDOWS
# VIEWER:application/start-elm:elm
#
# You must put the whole definition on one line.
#
# If you must use a colon in the viewer command, precede it with a backslash!
#
# The MIME_type:viewer:XWINDOWS definitions listed here in the lynx.cfg
# file are among those established via src/HTInit.c. For the image types,
# HTInit.c uses the XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND definition in userdefs.h or above
# (open is used for NeXT). You can change any of these defaults via the
# global or personal mailcap files. Assignments made here will be overridden
# by entries in those files.

.h2 KEYMAP
# Key remapping definitions!
#
# You may redefine the keymapping of any function in Lynx by
# using the KEYMAP option. The basic form of KEYMAP is:
# KEYMAP:<KEYSTROKE>:<LYNX FUNCTION>
# (See below for an extended format.)
#
# You must map upper and lowercase keys separately.
#
# A representative list of functions mapped to their default keys is
# provided below. All of the mappings are commented out by default
# since they just repeat the default mappings, except for TOGGLE_HELP
# (see below). See LYKeymap.c for the complete key mapping. Use the
# 'K'eymap command when running Lynx for a list of the _current_ keymappings.
#
# (However, in contrast to the output of 'K' command,
# 'H'elp (lynx_help/*.html and lynx_help/keystrokes/*.html files) shows
# the default mapping unless you change that files manually,
# so you are responsible for possible deviations
# when you are changing any KEYMAP below).
.nf
#
# Keystrokes for special keys are represented by the following codes:
# Up Arrow: 0x100
# Down Arrow: 0x101
# Right Arrow: 0x102
# Left Arrow: 0x103
# Page Down: 0x104
# Page Up: 0x105
# Keypad Home: 0x106 (see also 0x10A)
# Keypad End: 0x107 (see also 0x10B)
# Function key 1: 0x108
# vt100 Help Key: 0x108
# vt100 Do Key: 0x109
# vt100 Find Key: 0x10A (The key with label "Home" may be treated as Find)
# vt100 Select Key: 0x10B (The key with label "End" may be treated as Select)
# Insert Key: 0x10C
# Remove (Del) Key: 0x10D
# ignored key 0x10E (reserved for internal use, DO_NOTHING)
# Back (Shift) Tab: 0x10F
# reserved code 0x11D (reserved for internal use with -use_mouse)
# reserved code 0x290 (reserved for internal use with -use_mouse)
#
.fi
# Other codes not listed above may be available for additional keys,
# depending on operating system and libraries used to compile Lynx.
# On some systems, if compiled with recent versions of slang or ncurses
# (if macro USE_KEYMAPS was in effect during compilation), an additional
# level of key mapping is supported via an external ".lynx-keymaps" file.
# This file, if found in the home directory at startup, will always be
# used under those conditions; see lynx-keymaps distributed in the samples
# subdirectory for further explanation. Note that mapping via
# .lynx-keymaps, if applicable, is a step that logically comes before the
# mappings done here: KEYMAP maps the result of that step (which still
# represents a key) to a function (which represents an action that Lynx
# should perform).

.h2 CSWING_PATH
# VMS ONLY:
#==========
# On VMS, CSwing (an XTree emulation for VTxxx terminals) is intended for
# use as the Directory/File Manager (sources, objects, or executables are
# available from ftp://narnia.memst.edu/). CSWING_PATH should be defined
# here or in userdefs.h to your foreign command for CSwing, with any
# regulatory switches you want included. If not defined, or defined as
# a zero-length string ("") or "none" (case-insensitive), the support
# will be disabled. It will also be disabled if the -nobrowse or
# -selective switches are used, or if the file_url restriction is set.
#
# When enabled, the DIRED_MENU command (normally 'f' or 'F') will invoke
# CSwing, normally with the current default directory as an argument to
# position the user on that node of the directory tree. However, if the
# current document is a local directory listing, or a local file and not
# one of the temporary menu or list files, the associated directory will
# be passed as an argument, to position the user on that node of the tree.
#
#CSWING_PATH:swing
.h1 Internal Behavior
.h2 AUTO_UNCACHE_DIRLISTS
# AUTO_UNCACHE_DIRLISTS determines when local file directory listings are
# automatically regenerated (by re-reading the actual directory from disk).
# Set the value to 0 to avoid automatic regeneration in most cases. This is
# useful for browsing large directories that take some time to read and format.
# An update can still always be forced with the RELOAD key, and specific DIRED
# actions may cause a refresh anyway. Set the value to 1 to force regeneration
# after commands that usually change the directory or some files and would make
# the displayed info stale, like EDIT and REMOVE. Set it to 2 (the default) or
# greater to force regeneration even after leaving the displayed directory
# listing by some action that usually causes no change, like GOTO or entering a
# file with the ACTIVATE key. This option is only honored in DIRED mode (i.e.
# when lynx is compiled with DIRED_SUPPORT and it is not disabled with a
# -restriction). Local directories displayed without DIRED normally act as if
# AUTO_UNCACHE_DIRLISTS:0 was in effect.
#
#AUTO_UNCACHE_DIRLISTS:2
.h1 Appearance
.h2 LIST_FORMAT
# Unix ONLY:
#===========
# LIST_FORMAT defines the display for local files when Lynx has been
# compiled with LONG_LIST defined in the Makefile. The default is set
# in userdefs.h, normally to "ls -l" format, and can be changed here
# by uncommenting the indicated lines, or adding a definition with a
# modified parameter list.
#
# The percent items in the list are interpreted as follows:
.nf
#
# %p Unix-style permission bits
# %l link count
# %o owner of file
# %g group of file
# %d date of last modification
# %a anchor pointing to file or directory
# %A as above but don't show symbolic links
# %t type of file (description derived from MIME type)
# %T MIME type as known by Lynx (from mime.types or default)
# %k size of file in Kilobytes
# %K as above but omit size for directories
# %s size of file in bytes
#
.fi
# Anything between the percent and the letter is passed on to sprintf.
# A double percent yields a literal percent on output. Other characters
# are passed through literally.
#
# If you want only the filename:
#
.ex
#LIST_FORMAT: %a
#
# If you want a brief output:
#
.ex
#LIST_FORMAT: %4K %-12.12d %a
#
# If you want the Unix "ls -l" format:
#
.ex
#LIST_FORMAT:%a %4l %-8.8o %-8.8g %7s %-12.12d %p

.h2 DIRED_MENU
# Unix ONLY:
#===========
# DIRED_MENU items are used to compose the F)ull menu list in DIRED mode
# The behavior of the default configuration given here is much the same
# as it was when this menu was hard-coded but these items can now be adjusted
# to suit local needs. In particular, many of the LYNXDIRED actions can be
# replaced with lynxexec, lynxprog and lynxcgi script references.
#
# NOTE that defining even one DIRED_MENU line overrides all the built-in
# definitions, so a complete set must then be defined here.
#
# Each line consists of the following fields:
.nf
#
# DIRED_MENU:type:suffix:link text:extra text:action
#
# type: TAG: list only when one or more files are tagged
# FILE: list only when the current selection is a regular file
# DIR: list only when the current selection is a directory
# LINK: list only when the current selection is a symbolic link
#
# suffix: list only if the current selection ends in this pattern
#
# link text: the displayed text of the link
#
# extra text: the text displayed following the link
#
# action: the URL to be followed upon selection
#
# link text and action are scanned for % sequences that are expanded
# at display time as follows:
#
# %p path of current selection
# %f filename (last component) of current selection
# %t tagged list (full paths)
# %l list of tagged file names
# %d the current directory

.h1 Internal Behavior
.h2 NONRESTARTING_SIGWINCH
# Some systems only:
#===================
# Lynx tries to detect window size changes with a signal handler for
# SIGWINCH if supported. If NONRESTARTING_SIGWINCH is set to TRUE,
# and the sigaction interface is available on the system, the handler
# is installed as 'non-restarting'. On some systems (depending on the
# library used for handling keyboard input, e.g. ncurses), this allows
# more immediate notification of window size change events. If the value
# is set to FALSE, the signal() interface is used; this normally makes
# the handler 'restarting', with the effect that lynx can react to size
# changes only after some key is pressed. The value can also be set to
# XWINDOWS; this is equivalent to TRUE when the user has the environment
# variable DISPLAY defined *at program start*, and equivalent to FALSE
# otherwise. The non-restarting behavior can also be changed to TRUE
# or FALSE with the -nonrestarting_sigwinch switch, which overrides the
# value in this file.
#
# Note that Lynx never re-parses document text purely as a result of a
# window size change, so text lines may appear truncated after narrowing
# the window, until the document is reloaded with ^R or a similar key
# or until a different text is loaded.
#
# The default is FALSE since there is a possibility that non-restarting
# interrupts may be mis-interpreted as fatal input errors in some
# configurations (leading to an abrupt program exit), and since this
# option is useful mostly only for users running Lynx under xterm or a
# similar X terminal emulator. On systems where the preconditions don't
# apply this option is ignored.
#
#NONRESTARTING_SIGWINCH:FALSE
.h2 NO_FORCED_CORE_DUMP
# Unix ONLY:
#===========
# If NO_FORCED_CORE_DUMP is set to TRUE, Lynx will not force
# core dumps via abort() calls on fatal errors or assert()
# calls to check potentially fatal errors. The compilation
# default normally is FALSE, and can be changed here. The
# compilation or configuration default can be toggled via
# the -core command line switch.
# Note that this setting cannot be used to prevent core dumps
# with certainty. If this is important, means provided by the
# operating system or kernel should be used.
#
#NO_FORCED_CORE_DUMP:FALSE
.h1 Appearance
.h2 COLOR
# COLORS (only available if compiled with SVr4 curses or slang)
#
# The line must be of the form:
#
# COLOR:Integer:Foreground:Background
.nf
#
# The Integer value is interpreted as follows:
# 0 - normal - normal text
# 1 - bold - hyperlinks, see also BOLD_* options above
# 2 - reverse - statusline
# 3 - bold + reverse (not used)
# 4 - underline - text emphasis (EM, I, B tags etc.)
# 5 - bold + underline - hyperlinks within text emphasis
# 6 - reverse + underline - currently selected hyperlink
# 7 - reverse + underline + bold - WHEREIS search hits
#
# Each Foreground and Background value must be one of:
# black red green brown
# blue magenta cyan lightgray
# gray brightred brightgreen yellow
# brightblue brightmagenta brightcyan white
#
.fi
# or (if you have configured using --enable-default-colors with ncurses or
# slang), "default" may be used for foreground and background.
#
# Uncomment and change any of the compilation defaults.
#
#COLOR:0:black:white
#COLOR:1:blue:white
#COLOR:2:yellow:blue
#COLOR:3:green:white
#COLOR:4:magenta:white
#COLOR:5:blue:white
#COLOR:6:red:white
#COLOR:7:magenta:cyan
.h2 ASSUMED_COLOR
# If built with a library that recognizes default colors, initializes it
# to assume the corresponding foreground and background colors. Default
# colors are those that the terminal (emulator) itself is initialized to.
# For instance, you might have an xterm running with black text on a white
# background, and want lynx to display colored text on the white background,
# but leave the possibility of using the same configuration to draw colored
# text on a different xterm, this time using its background set to black.
#
# The first value given is the foreground, the second is the background.
ASSUMED_COLOR:default:default
.h1 External Programs
.h2 EXTERNAL
# External application support. This feature allows Lynx to pass a given
# URL to an external program. It was written for three reasons.
#
# 1) To overcome the deficiency of Lynx_386 not supporting ftp and news.
# External programs can be used instead by passing the URL.
#
# 2) To allow for background transfers in multitasking systems.
# I use wget for http and ftp transfers via the external command.
#
# 3) To allow for new URLs to be used through Lynx.
# URLs can be made up such as mymail: to spawn desired applications
# via the external command.
#
# Restrictions can be imposed using -restrictions=externals at the Lynx command
# line. This will disallow all EXTERNAL lines in lynx.cfg that have FALSE in
# the 3rd field (not counting the name of the setting). TRUE lines will still
# function.
#
# The lynx.cfg line is as follows:
#
# EXTERNAL:<url>:<command> %s:<norestriction>:<allow_for_activate>
#
# <url> Any given URL. This can be normal ones like ftp or http or it
# can be one made up like mymail.
#
# <command> The command to run with %s being the URL that will be passed.
# In Linux I use "wget -q %s &" (no quotes) to spawn a copy of wget for
# downloading http and ftp files in the background. In Win95 I use
# "start ncftp %s" to spawn ncftp in a new window.
#
# <norestriction> This complements the -restrictions=externals feature to allow
# for certain externals to be enabled while restricting others. TRUE means
# a command will still function while Lynx is restricted. WB
#
# <allow_for_activate> Setting this to TRUE allows the use of this command not
# only when EXTERN key is pressed, but also when ACTIVATE command is invoked
# (i.e activating the link with the given prefix will be equivalent to
# pressing EXTERN key on it). If this component of the line is absent, then
# FALSE is assumed.
#
# For invoking the command use the EXTERN key. By default it is mapped
# to '.' (if the feature is enabled), see the KEYMAP section above.
#
EXTERNAL:ftp:wget %s &:TRUE

.h2 RULE
.h2 RULESFILE
# CERN-style rules, EXPERIMENTAL - URL-specific rules
#
# A CERN-style rules file can be given with RULESFILE. Use the system's
# native format for filenames, on Unix '~' is also recognized. If a filename
# is given, the file must exist.
#
# Single CERN-style rules can be specified with RULES.
#
# Both options can be repeated, rules accumulate in the order
# given, they will be applied in first-to-last order. See cernrules.txt
# in the samples subdirectory for further explanation.
#
# Examples:
.ex 5
# RULESFILE:/etc/lynx/cernrules
# RULE:Fail gopher:* # reject by scheme
# RULE:Pass finger://*@localhost/ # allow this,
# RULE:Fail finger:* # but not others
# RULE:Redirect http://old.server/* http://new.server/*

.h2 PRETTYSRC
# Enable pretty source view
#PRETTYSRC:FALSE
.h2 PRETTYSRC_SPEC
# Pretty source view settings. These settings are in effect when -prettysrc
# is specified.
# The following lexical elements (lexemes) are recognized:
# comment, tag, attribute, attribute value, generalized angle brackets (
# '<' '>' '</' ), entity, hyperlink destination, entire file, bad sequence,
# bad tag, bad attribute, sgml special.
# The following group of option tells which styles will surround each
# lexeme. The syntax of option in this group is:
#PRETTYSRC_SPEC:<LEXEMENAME>:<TAGSPEC>:<TAGSPEC>
# The first <TAGSPEC> specifies what tags will precede lexemes of that class
# in the internal html markup. The second - what will be placed (internally)
# after it.
# TAGSPEC has the following syntax:
# <TAGSPEC>:= [ (<TAGOPEN> | <TAGCLOSE>) <SPACE>+ ]*
# <TAGOPEN>:= tagname[.classname]
# <TAGCLOSE>:= !tagname
#
# The following table gives correspondence between lexeme and lexeme name
.nf
# Lexeme LEXEMENAME FURTHER EXPLANATION
# =========================================================
# comment COMM
# tag TAG recognized tag name only
# attribute ATTRIB
# attribute value ATTRVAL
# generalized brackets ABRACKET < > </
# entity ENTITY
# hyperlink destination HREF
# entire file ENTIRE
# bad sequence BADSEQ bad entity or invalid construct at text
# level.
# bad tag BADTAG Unrecognized construct in generalized
# brackets.
# bad attribute BADATTR The name of the attribute unknown to lynx
# of the tag known to lynx. (i.e.,
# attributes of unknown tags will have
# markup of ATTRIB)
# sgml special SGMLSPECIAL doctype, sgmlelt, sgmlele,
# sgmlattlist, marked section, identifier
.fi
#
# Notes:
#
# 1) The markup for HTML_ENTIRE will be emitted only once - it will surround
# entire file source.
#
# 2) The tagnames specified by TAGSPEC should be valid html tag names.
#
# 3) If the tag/class combination given by TAGOPEN is not assigned a color
# style in lss file (for lynx compiled with lss support), that tag/class
# combination will be emitted anyway during internal html markup. Such
# combinations will be also reported to the trace log.
#
# 4) Lexeme 'tag' means tag name only
#
# 5) Angle brackets of html specials won't be surrounded by markup for ABRACKET
#
.ex
# PRETTYSRC_SPEC:COMM:B I:!I !B
# HTML comments will be surrounded by <b><i> and </i></b> in the
# internal html markup
.ex
# PRETTYSRC_SPEC:ATTRVAL: span.attrval : !span
# Values of the attributes will be surrounded by the
# <SPAN class=attrval> </SPAN>
.ex
# PRETTYSRC_SPEC:HREF::
# No special html markup will surround hyperlink destinations (

# TRUE, then links won't be numbered in psrc view and will be numbered
# otherwise. Set this setting to TRUE if you prefer numbered links, but wish
# to get valid HTML source when printing or mailing when in psrc view.
# Default is FALSE.
#PRETTYSRC_VIEW_NO_ANCHOR_NUMBERING:FALSE
.h1 HTML Parsing
.h2 FORCE_EMPTY_HREFLESS_A
# FORCE_EMPTY_HREFLESS_A - HTML parsing
# This option mirrors command-line option with the same name. Default is
# FALSE. If true, then any 'A' element without HREF will be closed
# immediately. This is useful when viewing documentation produced by broken
# translator that doesn't emit balanced A elements. If lynx was compiled with
# color styles, setting this option to TRUE will make lynx screen much more
# reasonable (otherwise all text will probably have color corresponding to the
# A element).
#
#FORCE_EMPTY_HREFLESS_A:FALSE
.h2 HIDDEN_LINK_MARKER
# HIDDEN_LINK_MARKER - HTML parsing
# This option defines the string that will be used as title of hidden link (a
# link that otherwise will have no label associated with it). Using an empty
# string as the value will cause lynx to behave in the old way - hidden links
# will be handled according to other settings (mostly the parameter of
# --hiddenlinks command-line switch). If the value is non-empty string, hidden
# link becomes non-hidden so it won't be handled as hidden link, e.g., listed
# among hidden links on 'l'isting page.

.h1 Appearance
.h2 JUSTIFY
# JUSTIFY - Appearance
# This option mirrors command-line option with same name. Default is TRUE. If
# true, most of text (except headers and like this) will be justified. This
# has no influence on CJK text rendering.
#
# This option is only available if Lynx was compiled with EXP_JUSTIFY_ELTS.
#
#JUSTIFY:TRUE
.h2 JUSTIFY_MAX_VOID_PERCENT
# JUSTIFY_MAX_VOID_PERCENT - Appearance
# This option controls the maximum allowed value for ratio (in percents) of
# 'the number of spaces to spread across the line to justify it' to
# 'max line size for current style and nesting' when justification is allowed.
# When that ratio exceeds the value specified, that particular line won't be
# justified. I.e. the value 28 for this setting will mean maximum value for
# that ratio is 0.28.
#
#JUSTIFY_MAX_VOID_PERCENT:35
.h1 Interaction
.h2 TEXTFIELDS_NEED_ACTIVATION
# If TEXTFIELDS_NEED_ACTIVATION is set to TRUE, and lynx was compiled with
# TEXTFIELDS_MAY_NEED_ACTIVATION defined, then text input form fields need
# to be activated (by pressing the Enter key or similar) before the user
# can enter or modify input. By default, input fields become automatically
# activated when selected. Requiring explicit activation can be desired for
# users who use alphanumeric keys for navigation (or other keys that have
# special meaning in the line editor - ' ', 'b', INS, DEL, etc), and don't
# want to 'get stuck' in form fields. Instead of setting the option here,
# explicit activation can also be requested with the -tna command line
# option.
#
#TEXTFIELDS_NEED_ACTIVATION:FALSE
.h2 LEFTARROW_IN_TEXTFIELD_PROMPT
# LEFTARROW_IN_TEXTFIELD_PROMPT
# This option controls what happens when a Left Arrow key is pressed while
# in the first position of an active text input field. By default, Lynx
# asks for confirmation ("Do you want to go back to the previous document?")
# only if the contents of the fields have been changed since entering it.
# If set to TRUE, the confirmation prompt is always issued.
#
#LEFTARROW_IN_TEXTFIELD_PROMPT:FALSE
.h1 Timeouts
.h2 CONNECT_TIMEOUT
# Specifies (in seconds) connect timeout. Not available under DOS (use
# sockdelay parameter of wattcp). Default value is rather huge.
#CONNECT_TIMEOUT:18000
.h1 Internal Behavior
# These settings control internal lynx behavior - the way it interacts with the
# operating system and Internet. Modifying these settings will not change
# the rendition of documents that you browse with lynx, but can change various
# delays and resource utilization.
.h2 FTP_PASSIVE
# Set FTP_PASSIVE to TRUE if you want to use passive mode ftp transfers.
# You might have to do this if you're behind a restrictive firewall.
#FTP_PASSIVE:FALSE
