&gt; Yeah, but that pisses off Lynx royally. Lynx does NOT render tables
&gt; properly, ever as far as I can tell.
&gt; I just installed w3m, and dumped from that. It does a better job on the
&gt; tables, but not quite as good on the URLs. It doesn't appear to be smart
&gt; enough to not wrap URLs onto multiple lines when dumping. Later,
Nope, that's right, lynx's rendering of tables *is* piss-poor. But so
what? You could preformat all that in &lt;pre&gt; tags. At least I can do
it. All I noticed is that the marginalization gets ignored, because
&lt;screen&gt; tags transform almost directly into &lt;pre&gt; tags. Maybe the
HTML that your parser generates is too complex. It is a function
of the stylesheet, so maybe it is doable by lynx with a simplified
stylesheet, if you think it could handle it.
