lynx-dev LYNX: A really neat idea: able to VI-edit page of links:

[David Combs]

Here is part of the web-page I am looking at.  (Yes, I realize
that by happenstance the "names" with their links are nicely
listed one per line:


                                                                                
                      Tour de France News (p1 of 3)

Now, the EFFECT that I would like would be to egrep -v
'^jul|drug' this thing, and keep the result
, and then "click", one by one, on THOSE.


Here's something else that might be nice: is there
some way to associate the text string, ie the "label",
for each of the vi-numbered links?  (I know nothing
about html; I merely use lynx, and LOVE it).

If so, then maybe the "L" report can have those labels
appended to the right of each link on that report;
after all, those are listed via "L" one per line,
IDEAL for the egrep or vi ":v/drug/d" trick.

(except you use the nice "Jul 13 1968" heading stuff,
but you can't have everything!)
