|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
When historical, any close-angle-bracket will be treated
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
as a comment terminator, emulating the parsing bug in old
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
versions of Mosaic and Netscape, rather than validly
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
requiring pairs of two successive dashes to delimit
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
comments within the angle-brackets.
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
_ - Clears all authorization info for the current session. Can
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
be used when leaving one's terminal without ending the Lynx
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
session, to guard against someone else retrieving protected
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
documents with previously entered username/password info.
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
Note that any protected documents that are still in cache
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
can still be accessed.
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
` - Toggles minimal or valid comment parsing. When minimal, any
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
two successive dashes followed by a close-angle-bracket will
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
be treated as a comment terminator, emulating the parsing bug
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
in Netscape v2.0. If historical comment parsing is set, that
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
will override minimal or valid comment parsing.
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
* - Toggles image_links mode on and off. When on, links will
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
be created for all images, including inlines.
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
@ - Toggles raw 8-bit translations or CJK mode on and off, only
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
for documents which does not specify character set explicitly.
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
Should be on when the document's charset matches the
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
display character set, and otherwise off so that 8-bit
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
characters will be translated by Lynx with respect to the
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
Assumed document charset, using approximations if necessary
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
(see options).
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
[ - Toggles pseudo_inlines mode on and off. When on, inline
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
images which have no ALT string specified will have an
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
"[INLINE]" pseudo-ALT string inserted in the Lynx display.
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
When off, they will be treated as having ALT="" (i.e.,
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
they will be ignored). If image_links mode is toggled on,
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
the pseudo-ALT strings will be restored, to serve as links
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
to the inline images' sources.
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
] - Sends a HEAD request for the current document or link. It
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
applies only to documents or links (or form submit buttons)
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
of http servers. A statusline message will notify you if
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
the context for this command was inappropriate. The HEAD
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
requests always are sent to the http server, i.e., Lynx
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
does not retrieve any previous server replies from its
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
cache. Note that for form submissions, http servers vary
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
in whether they will treat HEAD requests as valid and return
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
the CGI script's headers, or treat it as invalid and return
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
an error message.
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
" - Toggles valid or "soft" double-quote parsing. When soft,
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
a close-angle-bracket will serve as both a close-double-
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
quote and close-tag, emulating the parsing bug in old
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
versions of Mosaic and Netscape.

Packit |
