I was wondering if we have any Elinks gurus here?
I want to know how one would go about creating a custom CSS stylesheet? I am trying to remove prelinks from a website when I load it (see images below). There are so many links that I have to scroll down a few pages before I can get to the reading bit.
Any ideas?
@s7l - elinks has some support for css according to ArchWiki - no examples though.
@anon39737049 - did you try “o” (lower case o) while running elinks? That brings up a configuration menu. If not css, maybe use lua or guile (according to elinks site) - elinks documentation
I have played with the config tool of Elinks and things are better, not exactly how I want them though.haha.
No complaints though.
The thing is, I use Elinks as a reader / opening links from newsboat. This is why I would like a reader mode, or something that strips out all the links and images I am not going to follow/view.
Have you checked out some of the other text-based browsers linke lynx or w3m? Maybe there’s one that does what you’re after.
Wouldn’t surprise me if someone that uses surf or similar browser has written that extension; I can see where that would be handy. A search of the Arch forum may be worth your while.
Newsboat has a URL config file, insert your rss feed url there.
You can then further configure newsboat by selecting a default browser.
When you want to open an article, you press “o”.
Here are my configs:
