  • line breaks in lynx

    From Marco Moock@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 6 20:43:00 2025
    Hello!

    lynx gopher://taz.de

    When I access that, I notice line breaks at the end that are inside of
    words.
    It is a normal xterm:

    m@ryz:~$ stty size
    24 80

    Is that an issue of lynx combined with my terminal?

    If I increase the size of the terminal, the lines are shown properly.

    With http sites, this looks different.

    Why?

    Which gopher client for Linux do you recommend?

    Lynx is a great gopher client, the key bindings make it possible
    to go rappidly through a number of links, f.e., from an aggretor
    like Bongusta, or moka-puna.

    Best regards,

    Gophie and Telescope
    - Look good but I haven't got around to trying those.

    I can recommend Telescope by Omar Polo:

    https://www.telescope-browser.org/

    It supports Gopher, Gemini and Finger without problems just like
    Lagrange, but as a TUI for the terminal. (I know Lagrange has a TUI
    client but Telescope is much more lightweight). And it opens images and websites with xdg-open.

    Have fun

    I prefer browsers supporting many protocols, currently

    - chawan TUI <https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=7005>
    - elinks TUI
    - emacs GUI+TUI
    - dillo GUI <https://dillo-browser.github.io/>
    - lynx TUI
    - w3m TUI

    and when all else fails

    - <https://portal.mozz.us/>

    is a great help.

    Thanks for recommending telescope. I tried it and it looks great. I
    found a few nits. For example when i try to open an item of type I,
    telescope gives the following error.

    Unknown gopher selector

    I was a little surprised because type I is defined in the original
    gopher RFC 1436.

    Oh! I wasn't aware of that. Maybe I should file a bug report.

    I like sacc from git://bitreich.org/sacc

    I had to tweak the pager to use 'less' instead of 'more',
    but otherwise, it's great.

    sacc it's fine too:

    git clone git://bitreich.org/sacc

    cd sacc

    make; doas make install || sudo make install

    Or search packages for your Linux/BSD.

    BTW, if you use packages, set this in ~/.profile

    export PAGER="less"

    That's because by default sacc will spawn 'more'
    to read the text files.
