- Lammy 6y agoSerious question, what’s new in HTML 5 that would be useful in text mode? Even with image support <picture> doesn’t seem like it would be useful since that’s mainly about handling art direction and media queries and stuff that seems much less applicable there. Gotta say the idea of <video> implemented with libcaca does sound really funny though.
- richardwhiuk 6y agoLinks isn't a text mode browser - I think it will display videos and pictures. Form controls would be an obvious example of something relevant I think.
- Lammy 6y agoI guess I was also confusing it with elinks, whoops. Maybe we should go back to the days when things were named like “Joe’s Editor”

- The_Colonel 6y agoLinks v2 has both text mode and X mode. Links <= v1 and its forks (elinks) have only text mode.
