but can links do the --dump thing, like lynx (and the referenced CGI) can? I don't see such an option (or am I blind?) Edited 07-03-2002 03:24 PM

And links is better still. It handles tables and frames with no trouble.

lynx has been doing this for years (and looks a bit nicer, IMHO):
lynx --dump http://boingboing.net
lynx is available for all unix-like OSs (including OS X), and, I believe, for win32...
Or am I missing something?

Cuz it doesn't work. When I enter a URL and submit it just reloads the form-page.

If you want to see your own site ASCIInated, there's a nice form:

(dunno why Cory didn't link to it).

i'm saying that the bug is a crock and not a feature.

No, it's not a crock, it's a beta-app that Aaron whipped up yesterday. It's not anything final, and one imagines that fixing this bug will be trivial.

hey brucee. That's a feature... better css support than Netscape ;-)

the third line of the example is hardly satisfactory

well, my justferfun business is asciirock.com so i predictably i think this is the coolest damn thing since fresh bread.
i think i'm gonna pass all the offsite links through this on my site!
i think i'll write to suggest a version that preserves links though - not true ascii. just html/head/body and a tags
chas.
