You can also + number form fields.</p> + + <h3><a name="EM" id="EM">Emacs keys</a></h3> + + <p>If set to “ON” then the CTRL-P, CTRL-N, CTRL-F and + CTRL-B keys will be mapped to up-arrow, down-arrow, right-arrow + and left-arrow respectively. Otherwise, they remain mapped to + their configured bindings (normally UP_TWO lines, DOWN_TWO lines, + NEXT_PAGE and PREV_PAGE respectively).</p> + + <p>Note: setting emacs keys does not affect the line-editor + bindings.</p> + + <h3><a name="VI" id="VI">VI keys</a></h3> + + <p>If set to “ON” then the lowercase h, j, k and l + keys will be mapped to left-arrow, down-arrow, up-arrow and + right-arrow respectively.</p> + + <p>The uppercase H, J, K, and L keys remain mapped to their + configured bindings (normally HELP, JUMP, KEYMAP and LIST, + respectively).</p> + + <p>Note: setting vi keys does not affect the line-editor + bindings.</p> + + <h3><a name="LE" id="LE">Line edit style</a></h3> + + <p>This allows you to set alternate key bindings for the built-in + line editor, if <a href="alt_edit_help.html">Alternate + Bindings</a> have been installed. Otherwise, Lynx uses the + <a href="edit_help.html">Default Binding</a>.</p> + + <h2><a name="DP" id="DP">Display and Character Set</a></h2> + + <h3><a name="LC" id="LC">Use locale-based character set</a></h3> + + <p>This option allows you to request lynx to obtain a MIME name + from the operating system which corresponds to your locale + setting. If successful, it overrides the normal setting of the + display character set.</p> + + <h3><a name="H5" id="H5">Use HTML5 charset replacements</a></h3> + + <p>This option allows lynx to treat pages with ISO-8859-1 + (Latin1) or ASCII encoding as if they were Windows 1252. That + allows a few punctuation characters to be shown.</p> + + <h3><a name="DC" id="DC">Display Character set</a></h3> + + <p>This allows you to set up the default character set for your + specific terminal. The display character set provides a mapping + from the character encodings of viewed documents and from HTML + entities into viewable characters. It should be set according to + your terminal's character set so that characters other than 7-bit + ASCII can be displayed correctly, using approximations if + necessary, <a href="test_display.html">try the test here</a>.</p> + + <h3><a name="AD" id="AD">Assumed document character set</a></h3> + + <p>This changes the handling of documents which do not explicitly + specify a charset. Normally Lynx assumes that 8-bit characters in + those documents are encoded according to iso-8859-1 (the official + default for HTTP protocol). Unfortunately, many non-English web + pages forget to include proper charset info; this option helps + you browse those broken pages if you know somehow what the + charset is. When the value given here or by an -assume_charset + command-line flag is in effect, Lynx will treat documents as if + they were encoded accordingly. Option is active when “Raw + 8-bit or CJK Mode” is OFF.</p> + + <h3><a name="JK" id="JK">Raw 8-bit or CJK mode</a></h3> + + <p>This is set automatically, but can be toggled manually in + certain cases: it toggles whether 8-bit characters are assumed to + correspond with the display character set and therefore are + processed without translation via the chartrans conversion + tables. ON by default when the display character set is one of + the Asian (CJK) sets and the 8-bit characters are Kanji + multibytes. OFF for the other display character sets, but can be + turned ON when the document's charset is unknown (e.g., is not + ISO-8859-1 and no charset parameter was specified in a reply + header from an HTTP server to indicate what it is), but you have + no better idea than viewing it as from display character set (see + “assumed document character set” for best choice). + Should be OFF when an Asian (CJK) set is selected but the + document is ISO-8859-1 or another “assumed document + character set”. The setting can also be toggled via the + RAW_TOGGLE command, normally mapped to “@”, and at + startup via the -raw switch.</p> + + <h3><a name="DV" id="DV">X DISPLAY variable</a></h3> + + <p>This option is only relevant to X Window users. It specifies + the DISPLAY (Unix) or DECW$DISPLAY (VMS) variable. It is picked + up automatically from the environment if it has been previously + set.</p> + + <h2><a name="AP" id="AP">Document Appearance</a></h2> + + <h3><a name="SC" id="SC">Show color</a></h3> + + <p>This will be present if color support is available.</p> + + <ul> + <li>If set to ON or ALWAYS, color mode will be forced on if + possible. If (n)curses color support is available but cannot be + used for the current terminal type, selecting ON is rejected + with a message.</li> + + <li>If set to OFF or NEVER, color mode will be turned off.</li> + + <li>ALWAYS and NEVER are not offered in anonymous accounts. If + saved to a “.lynxrc” file in non-anonymous + accounts, ALWAYS will cause Lynx to set color mode on at + startup if supported.</li> + </ul> + + <p>If Lynx is built with slang, this is equivalent to having + included the -color command line switch or having the COLORTERM + environment variable set. If color support is provided by curses + or ncurses, this is equivalent to the default behavior of using + color when the terminal type supports it. If (n)curses color + support is available but cannot be used for the current terminal + type, the preference can still be saved but will have no + effect.</p> + + <p>A saved value of NEVER will cause Lynx to assume a monochrome + terminal at start-up. It is similar to the -nocolor switch, but + (when the slang library is used) can be overridden with the + -color switch. If the setting is OFF or ON when the current + options are saved to a “.lynxrc” file, the default + start-up behavior is retained, such that color mode will be + turned on at startup only if the terminal info indicates that you + have a color-capable terminal, or (when slang is used) if forced + on via the -color switch or COLORTERM variable. This default + behavior always is used in anonymous accounts, or if the + “option”_save restriction is set explicitly. If for + any reason the start-up color mode is incorrect for your + terminal, set it appropriately on or off via this option.</p> + + <h3><a name="CS" id="CS">Color style</a></h3> + + <p>At startup, Lynx identifies the available color-style + configuration files in the same directory as its default ".lss" + file. At runtime, you can switch between these files using this + options-menu feature.</p> + + <h3><a name="C0" id="C0">Default colors</a></h3> + + <p>Depending on the default foreground and background colors + which your terminal uses, some color-styles would look better if + Lynx did not use those in combination with the style for the + background. Use this option to enable/disable the default-color + feature.</p> + + <h3><a name="CL" id="CL">Show cursor for current link or + option</a></h3> + + <p>Lynx normally hides the cursor by positioning it to the right + and if possible the very bottom of the screen, so that the + current link or OPTION is indicated solely by its highlighting or + color. If show cursor is set to ON, the cursor will be positioned + at the left of the current link or OPTION. This is helpful when + Lynx is being used with a speech or braille interface. It is also + useful for sighted users when the terminal cannot distinguish the + character attributes used to distinguish the current link or + OPTION from the others in the display.</p> + + <h3><a name="UK" id="UK">Underline links</a></h3> + + <p>Use underline-attribute rather than bold for links.</p> + + <h3><a name="SS" id="SS">Show scrollbar</a></h3> + + <p>This allows you to enable (show) or disable (hide) the + scrollbar on the right-margin of the display. This feature is + available with ncurses or slang libraries.</p> + + <h3><a name="PU" id="PU">Pop-ups for select fields</a></h3> + + <p>Lynx normally uses a pop-up window for the OPTIONs in form + SELECT fields when the field does not have the MULTIPLE attribute + specified, and thus only one OPTION can be selected. The use of + pop-up windows can be disabled by changing this setting to OFF, + in which case the OPTIONs will be rendered as a list of radio + buttons. Note that if the SELECT field does have the MULTIPLE + attribute specified, the OPTIONs always are rendered as a list of + checkboxes.</p> + + <h3><a name="tagsoup" id="tagsoup">HTML error recovery</a></h3> + + <p>Lynx often has to deal with invalid HTML markup. It always + tries to recover from errors, but there is no universally correct + way for doing this. As a result, there are two parsing modes: + "<dfn>SortaSGML</dfn>" attempts to enforce valid nesting of most + tags at an earlier stage of processing, while + "<dfn>TagSoup</dfn>" relies more on the HTML rendering stage to + mimic the behavior of some other browsers. You can also switch + between these modes with the CTRL-V key, and the default can be + changed in lynx.cfg or with the -tagsoup command line switch.</p> + + <p>The "SortaSGML" mode will often appear to be more strict, and + makes some errors apparent that are otherwise unnoticeable. One + particular difference is the handling of block elements or + <li>..</li> inside <a + HREF="some.url">..</a>. Invalid nesting like this may + turn anchors into hidden links which cannot be easily followed, + this is avoided in "TagSoup" mode. See the <a href= + "follow_help.html">help on following links by number</a> for more + information on hidden links. Often pages may be more readable in + "TagSoup" mode, but sometimes the opposite is true. Most + documents with valid HTML, and documents with only minor errors, + should be rendered the same way in both modes.</p> + + <p>If you are curious about what goes on behind the scenes, but + find that the information from the -trace switch is just too + much, Lynx can be started with the -preparsed switch; going into + SOURCE mode (“\” key) and toggling the parsing mode + (with CTRL-V) should then show some of the differences.</p> + + <h3><a name="BH" id="BH">Bad HTML messages</a></h3> + + <p>Suppress or redirect Lynx's messages about "Bad HTML":</p> + + <dl> + <dt>Ignore</dt> + + <dd>do not warn; no details are written to the trace-file.</dd> + + <dt>Add to trace-file</dt> + + <dd>add the detailed warning message to the trace-file.</dd> + + <dt>Add to LYNXMESSAGES</dt> + + <dd>add the detailed warning message to the message page at + "LYNXMESSAGES:".</dd> + + <dt>Warn, point to trace-file</dt> + + <dd>show a warning message on the status line; the complete + message is written to the trace-file.</dd> + </dl> + + <h3><a name="SI" id="SI">Show Images</a></h3> + + <p>This option combines the effects of the “*” & + “[” keys as follows:</p> + + <pre> + <em>ignore</em> all images which lack an ALT= text string, + <em>show labels</em>, e.g. [INLINE] — see “Verbose Images” below — , + <em>use links</em> for every image, enabling downloading. +</pre> + <p>This option setting cannot be saved between sessions. See + <a href="../Lynx_users_guide.html#Images">Users Guide</a> & + <em>lynx.cfg</em> for more details.</p> + + <h3><a name="VB" id="VB">Verbose Images</a></h3> + + <p>This allows you to replace [LINK], [INLINE] and [IMAGE] + — for images without ALT — with filenames: this can + be helpful by revealing which images are important & which + are merely decoration, e.g. <em>button.gif</em>, + <em>line.gif</em>.

If the given value lacks a "@", Lynx also will use + your computer's hostname as part of the password.

If changed during a Lynx + session, the default User-Agent header can be restored by + deleting the modified string in the Options Menu.
