- dvfjsdhgfv 6y agoI really hope it happens!
- smhenderson 6y agolynx has —dump which prints a rendered page to stdout.
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoLikewise `elinks -dump` if you prefer elinks.
- eafer 6y agoThe motivation for rdrview is cleaning up all the menus and clutter from the dump. It still uses lynx (or any other text browser) for the render.
- eafer 6y agoI haven't looked too deeply into the lynx codebase, but it might be tricky to do this without extra dependencies. Lynx already parses html obviously, but I don't know if it ever needs to make modifications to it. Now, it would be great if there was a way to pipe the html from a webpage into another tool from inside lynx. Maybe that exists already and I'm just not aware of it.
