Compiling is one thing, *configuring* to meet your needs is another.

Sorta like reinventing the wheel:

See below for a snide comment on that.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Fine, but we have no idea what's in "lynx.cfg", nor do we have any idea
at all what configure options you set when building "lynx." (And please
don't post them! Work it out yourself.)
For this use of lynx, I would recommend setting "-cfg=/dev/null" to speed
things up, and do all of your configuring by compiling the options you need
into lynx.

If you don't like the default, then I guess you'll have to change it.

Sorry, but I really didn't grasp your problem. Anyway, it's pretty hard
for me to fathom anything to do with rendering that lynx can't handle.
Before mucking around in the source, try reading the docs and doing some
experimenting. About all I could say to help is that when I need a "clean"
rendering, I usually use "lynx -dump -nolist." Maybe you want some of the
"pretty source" stuff you can compile in.
Good luck.

Repeating the entire message in HTML on a public mailing list is not a
good way to advertise "professional consultant[ing]" services.
