getting off my windows dependency

[Sean McMahon]

The w3c says you have to put each link on a seperate line?  As someone who
writes some web content how is that possable?  Mind pointing out where it says
such a thing?

well, look at it this way. with window eyes and jaws they put each link
on one line each. with supernova it doesn't do that. see, it differs
even in windows. with lynx and elynx you look at it from a sorta sighted
perspective, with out the websites beeing all processed.
Note according to the w3c links should be on there own line! So the
screen reader forcing it to be so is just forcing it to look like the
w3c says it should look.  I personally like this feature quite well in
windows and would be happy to see it echoed here in lynx.

line, word, or char be a browser feature? It seems to me such
functionality is the responsibility of the assistive technology, not the
browser.

Also, when you say "tab browsing," what does that mean? Is there some
unique definition of tab browsing in elinks?

If Linux can't solve your computing problem, you need a different
problem.
