ELINKS.CONF(5) | ELinks configuration file | ELINKS.CONF(5) |
NAME¶
elinks.conf - ELinks configuration fileSYNOPSIS¶
set <option> = <value> unset <option> bind "<keymap>" "<key>" = "<action>" include "<file>"
DESCRIPTION¶
The elinks.conf file contains configuration information for ELinks. It can be used to configure the behaviour of ELinks in a wide variety of ways: protocol behaviour, keybindings, colors used for rendering and for the user interface.SYNTAX¶
The syntax of the configuration file is very simple. The elinks.conf file is a free-form ASCII text file. The file may contain extra tabs and newlines for formatting purposes. Keywords in the file are case-sensitive. Comments may be placed anywhere within the file (except within quotes). Comments begin with the # character and end at the end of the line.EXAMPLES¶
Some sample settings:# Use asynchronous DNS resolver? set connection.async_dns = 1 # horizontal text margin. set document.browse.margin_width = 3 # Default document codepage. set document.codepage.assume = "ISO-8859-1" # User defined protocol handlers set protocol.user.mailto.unix = "mutt %h -s \"%s\""
OPTIONS¶
Generated using output from ELinks version 0.12pre5.bookmarks (Bookmarks)¶
Bookmark options. bookmarks.file_format <num> (default: 0)File format for bookmarks (affects both
reading and saving):
bookmarks.folder_state [0|1] (default: 1)
•0 is the default native ELinks
format
•1 is XBEL universal XML bookmarks
format
When saving bookmarks also store whether
folders are expanded or not, so the look of the bookmark dialog is kept across
ELinks sessions. If disabled all folders will appear unexpanded next time
ELinks is run.
config (Configuration system)¶
Configuration handling options. config.comments <num> (default: 3)Amount of comments automatically written to
the config file:
config.indentation <num> (default: 2)
•0 is no comments are written
•1 is only the "blurb"
(name+type) is written
•2 is only the description is
written
•3 is full comments are written
Shift width of one indentation level in the
configuration file. Zero means that no indentation is performed at all when
saving the configuration.
config.saving_style <num> (default: 3)
Determines what happens when you tell ELinks
to save options:
config.i18n [0|1] (default: 0)
•0 is only values of current options are
altered
•1 is values of current options are
altered and missing options are added at the end of the file
•2 is the configuration file is
rewritten from scratch
•3 is values of current options are
altered and missing options CHANGED during this ELinks session are added at
the end of the file
If set to 1, comments in the configuration
file will be translated to the language used by UI. Note that if you have
different language set in different terminals, the language used in the
configuration file MAY be the same as on the terminal where you saved the
file, but it should be generally considered unpredictable.
config.saving_style_w [0|1] (default: 0)
This is internal option used when displaying a
warning about obsolete config.saving_style. You shouldn´t touch it.
config.show_template [0|1] (default: 0)
Show template options in autocreated trees in
the options manager and save them to the configuration file.
connection (Connections)¶
Connection options. connection.async_dns [0|1] (default: 1)Whether to use asynchronous DNS
resolving.

connection.retries <num> (default: 3)
Number of tries to establish a connection.
Zero means try forever.
connection.try_ipv4 [0|1] (default: 1)
Whether to try to connect to a host over IPv4.
Note that if connection.try_ipv6 is enabled too, it takes precedence. And
better do not touch this at all unless you are sure what are you doing.
Note that you can also force a given protocol to be used on a per-connection
basis by using a URL in the style of e.g. http4://elinks.cz/.
connection.try_ipv6 [0|1] (default: 1)
Whether to try to connect to a host over IPv6.
Note that you can also force a given protocol to be used on a per-connection
basis by using a URL in the style of e.g. http6://elinks.cz/.
connection.unrestartable_receive_timeout <num> (default: 600)
Timeout for non-restartable connections (in
seconds).
connection.ssl (SSL)¶
SSL options. connection.ssl.cert_verify [0|1] (default: 0)Verify the peer´s SSL certificate. Note
that this needs extensive configuration of OpenSSL by the user.
connection.ssl.client_cert (Client Certificates)¶
X509 client certificate options. connection.ssl.client_cert.enable [0|1] (default: 0)Enable or not the sending of X509 client
certificates to servers which request them.
connection.ssl.client_cert.file <str> (default: "")
The location of a file containing the client
certificate and unencrypted private key in PEM format. If unset, the file
pointed to by the X509_CLIENT_CERT variable is used instead.
cookies (Cookies)¶
Cookies options. cookies.accept_policy <num> (default: 2)Cookies accepting policy:
cookies.max_age <num> (default: -1)
•0 is accept no cookies
•1 is ask for confirmation before

•-1 is use cookie´s expiration date
if any
•0 is force expiration at the end of
session, ignoring cookie´s expiration date
•1+ is use cookie´s expiration
date, but limit age to the given number of days
When enabled, we´ll require three dots in
cookies domain for all non-international domains (instead of just two dots).
Some countries have generic second level domains (eg. .com.pl, .co.uk) and
allowing sites to set cookies for these generic domains could potentially be
very bad. Note, it is off by default as it breaks a lot of sites.
cookies.save [0|1] (default: 1)
Whether cookies should be loaded from and
saved to disk.
cookies.resave [0|1] (default: 1)
Save cookies after each change in cookies
list? No effect when cookie saving (cookies.save) is off.
document (Document)¶
Document options.document.browse (Browsing)¶
Document browsing options (mainly interactivity). document.browse.margin_width <num> (default: 3)Horizontal text margin.
document.browse.refresh [0|1] (default: 1)
Automatically follow document-specified
refresh directives (´<meta> refresh´ tags). Web-page authors
use these to instruct the browser to reload a document at a given interval or
to load another page. Regardless of the value the refresh URI is accessible as
a link.
Use the document.browse.minimum_refresh_time to control the minimum number of
seconds a refresh will wait.
document.browse.minimum_refresh_time <num> (default: 1000)
The minimum number of milliseconds that should
pass before refreshing. If set to zero the document refresh time is used
unchanged. It can fix going back in history for some sites that use refreshing
with zero values.
document.browse.table_move_order [0|1] (default: 0)
Move by columns in table, instead of
rows.
document.browse.accesskey (Access keys)¶
Options for handling of link access keys. An HTML document can use the ACCESSKEY attribute to assign an access key to an element. When an access key is pressed, the corresponding element will be given focus. document.browse.accesskey.auto_follow [0|1] (default: 0)Automatically follow a link or submit a form
if appropriate accesskey is pressed – this is the standard behaviour,
but it´s considered dangerous.
document.browse.accesskey.display [0|1] (default: 0)
Display access key in link info.
document.browse.accesskey.priority <num> (default: 0)
Priority of ´accesskey´ HTML
attribute:
•0 is first try all normal bindings; if
it fails, check accesskey
•1 is first try only frame bindings; if
it fails, check accesskey
•2 is first check accesskey (this can be
dangerous)
document.browse.forms (Forms)¶
Options for handling of the forms interaction. document.browse.forms.auto_submit [0|1] (default: 1)Automagically submit a form when enter is
pressed with a text field selected.

Ask for confirmation when submitting a
form.
document.browse.forms.input_size <num> (default: 20)
Default form input size if none is
specified.
document.browse.forms.insert_mode [0|1] (default: 1)
The setting for this option affects how key
presses are handled when one selects a text-input form-field. When enabled,
one must explicitly ´enter´ a selected text-field to edit it; this
prevents text fields from capturing key presses, such as presses of a scroll
key, when it is inadvertently selected. When disabled, key presses are always
inserted into a selected text field.
document.browse.forms.editor <str> (default: "")
Path to the executable that ELinks should
launch when the user requests to edit a textarea with an external editor.
If this is blank, ELinks will use the value of the environmental variable
$EDITOR. If $EDITOR is empty or not set, ELinks will then
default to vi.
document.browse.forms.show_formhist [0|1] (default: 0)
Ask if a login form should be saved to file or
not. This option only disables the dialog, already saved login forms are
unaffected.

asterisk
When to enclose image links:
document.browse.images.image_link_prefix <str> (default:

•0 means never
•1 means never if alt or title are
provided (old behavior)
•2 means always
Prefix string to use to mark image
links.
document.browse.images.image_link_suffix <str> (default:
"]")
Suffix string to use to mark image
links.
document.browse.images.label_maxlen <num> (default: 0)
Maximum length of image label (alt/title):
document.browse.images.show_as_links [0|1] (default: 0)
•0 means always display full label
•1-500 means display label with this
maximal length; if it is longer, the middle is substituted by an
asterisk

foreground
•2 means open link in new tab in
background
•3 means open link in new window
Whether to navigate links using tabindex
specified ordering. The TABINDEX attribute in HTML elements specifies the
order in which links should receive focus when using the keyboard to navigate
the document.
document.browse.links.missing_fragment [0|1] (default: 1)
Open a message box when document has no tag
with given id.
document.browse.links.number_keys_select_link <num> (default: 1)
Number keys select links rather than specify
command prefixes. This is a tristate:
document.browse.links.warn_malicious [0|1] (default: 1)
•0 means never
•1 means if
document.browse.links.numbering = 1
•2 means always
When following a link the user ID part of the

•2 means pop up message box
Start typeahead searching when an unbound key
is pressed without any modifiers. Note that most keys have default bindings,
so this feature will not be useful unless you unbind them.
•0 disables this feature; typeahead
searching will only be used when you press a key bound to search-typeahead or
similar
•1 automatically starts typeahead
searching thru link text
•2 automatically starts typeahead
searching thru all document text
document.cache (Cache)¶
Cache options. document.cache.cache_redirects [0|1] (default: 0)Cache even redirects sent by server (usually
thru HTTP by a 302 HTTP code and a Location header). This was the original
behaviour for quite some time, but it causes problems in a situation very
common to various web login systems – frequently, when accessing a
certain location, they will redirect you to a login page if they don´t
receive an auth cookie, the login page then gives you the cookie and redirects
you back to the original page, but there you have already cached redirect back
to the login page! If this option has value of 0, this malfunction is fixed,
but occasionally you may get superfluous (depends on how you take it ;-)
requests to the server. If this option has value of 1, experienced users can
still workaround it by clever combination of usage of reload, jumping around
in session history and hitting ctrl+enter.
Note that this option is checked when retrieving the information from cache, not
when saving it to cache – thus if you enable it, even previous redirects
will be taken from cache instead of asking the server.
document.cache.ignore_cache_control [0|1] (default: 1)
Ignore Cache-Control and Pragma server
headers. When set, the document is cached even with ´Cache-Control:
no-cache´.
document.cache.revalidation_interval <num> (default: -1)
Period in seconds that a cache entry is
considered to be up-to-date. When a document is loaded and this interval has
elapsed since the document was initially loaded or most recently revalidated
with the server, the server will be checked in case there is a more up-to-date
version of the document.
A value of -1 disables automatic revalidation.
document.cache.format (Formatted documents)¶
Format cache options. document.cache.format.size <num> (default: 5)Number of cached formatted pages. Do not get
too generous here, ´formatted´ means that all the accompanying
structures are kept in memory so that you get the cached document
immediatelly, but these structures may take a lot – 2x the size of the
HTML source is probably not unusual, but it can be even more if the document
consists of a lot of short lines (padded right, if possible) and links and not
much other markup. So if you set this to 256 and then you don´t like your
ELinks eating 90M, don´t come complaining to us. ;-)
Also note that the format cache itself is not counted to the memory cache size,
but the HTML source of the formatted documents is always cached, even if it is
over the memory cache size threshold. (Then of course no other documents can
be cached.)
document.cache.memory (Memory cache)¶
Memory cache options. document.cache.memory.size <num> (default: 1048576)Memory cache size (in bytes).
document.codepage (Charset)¶
Charset options. document.codepage.assume <codepage> (default: System)Default document codepage. ´System´
stands for a codepage determined by a selected locale.
document.codepage.force_assumed [0|1] (default: 0)
Ignore charset info sent by server.

document.colors.background <color|#rrggbb> (default: black)
Default background color.
document.colors.link <color|#rrggbb> (default: blue)
Default link color.
document.colors.vlink <color|#rrggbb> (default: yellow)
Default visited link color.
document.colors.image <color|#rrggbb> (default: darkolivegreen)
Default image link color.
document.colors.bookmark <color|#rrggbb> (default: hotpink)
Default bookmarked link color.
document.colors.dirs <color|#rrggbb> (default: yellow)
Default directory color.
See document.browse.links.color_dirs option.
document.colors.increase_contrast [0|1] (default: 1)
Increase the contrast between the foreground
and background colors to ensure readability. For example it disallows dark
colors on a black background. Note, this is different from ensuring the
contrast with the ensure_contrast option.
document.colors.ensure_contrast [0|1] (default: 1)
Makes sure that the back- and foreground
colors are never equal.
document.colors.use_document_colors <num> (default: 2)
Use colors specified in document:
•0 is use always the default
settings
•1 is use document colors if available,
except background
•2 is use document colors, including
background. This can mostly look very impressive, but some sites will appear
really ugly. Note, that obviously if the background is not black, it will
break the behaviour of transparency.
document.css (Cascading Style Sheets)¶
Options concerning how to use CSS for styling documents. document.css.enable [0|1] (default: 1)Enable adding of CSS style info to
documents.
document.css.import [0|1] (default: 1)

First write data to unique temporary file,
then rename this file upon successfully finishing this. Note that this relates
only to config files, not downloaded files. You may want to disable it if you
are using some exotic permissions for concerned files. Secure file saving is
automagically disabled if file is symlink.
Warning: some systems (ie. OS/2, Win32) require that destination file
doesn´t exist when rename(3) is called, breaking atomicity, and
reducing reliability of this feature.
infofiles.secure_save_fsync [0|1] (default: 1)
When using secure file saving, call
fsync(3), if the OS supports it, to force the OS immediately to write
the data to permanent storage. This is optional for those who wish to avoid
excessive disk I/O.

(´*´ is used here in place of ´.´).
mime.handler (File type handlers)¶
A file type handler is a set of information about how to use an external program to view a file. It is possible to refer to it for several MIME types — e.g., you can define an ´image´ handler to which mime.type.image.png, mime.type.image.jpeg, and so on will refer; or one might define a handler for a more specific type of file — e.g., PDF files. Note you must define both a MIME handler and a MIME type association for it to work.mime.handler._template_ (Template option folder)¶

Type of description to show in "what to
do with this file" query dialog:
mime.mailcap.prioritize [0|1] (default: 1)
•0 is show "mailcap"
•1 is show program to be run
•2 is show mailcap description field if
any; "mailcap" otherwise
Prioritize entries by the order of the files
in the mailcap path. This means that wildcard entries (like: image/*) will
also be checked before deciding the handler.
mime.mimetypes (Mimetypes files)¶
Options for the support of mime.types files. These files can be used to find the content type of a URL by looking at the extension of the file name. mime.mimetypes.enable [0|1] (default: 1)Enable mime.types support.

"~/.mime.types:/etc/mime.types:/usr/local/etc/mime.types:/usr/share/mime.types:/usr/share/misc/mime.types")
The search path for mime.types files.
Colon-separated list of files.
mime.type (MIME type associations)¶
Handler ↔ MIME type association. The first sub-tree is the MIME class while the second sub-tree is the MIME type (ie. image/gif handler will reside at mime.type.image.gif). Each MIME type option should contain (case-sensitive) name of the MIME handler (its properties are stored at mime.handler.<name>).mime.type._template_ (Template option folder)¶
Handler matching this MIME-type class (´*´ is used here in place of ´.´). mime.type._template_._template_ <str> (default: "")Handler matching this MIME-type name
(´*´ is used here in place of ´.´).
protocol (Protocols)¶
Protocol specific options. protocol.no_proxy <str> (default: "")Comma separated list of domains for which the
proxy (HTTP/FTP) should be disabled. Optionally, a port can be specified for
some domains as well. If it´s blank, NO_PROXY environment variable
is checked as well.
protocol.bittorrent (BitTorrent)¶
BitTorrent specific options. protocol.bittorrent.piece_cache_size <num> (default: 1048576)The maximum amount of memory used to hold
recently downloaded pieces.
Set to 0 to have unlimited size.
protocol.bittorrent.max_uploads <num> (default: 7)
The maximum number of uploads to allow at
once.
protocol.bittorrent.min_uploads <num> (default: 2)
The minimum number of uploads which should at
least be used for new connections.
protocol.bittorrent.request_queue_size <num> (default: 5)
How many piece requests to continuously keep
in queue. Pipelining of requests is essential to saturate connections and get
a good connection performance and thus a faster download. However, a very big
queue size can lead to wasting bandwidth near the end of the connection since
remaining piece blocks will be requested from multiple peers.
protocol.bittorrent.choke_interval <num> (default: 10)
The number of seconds between updating the
connection state and most importantly choke and unchoke peer connections. The
choke period should be big enough for newly unchoked connections to get
started but small enough to not allow freeriders too much room for stealing
bandwidth.
protocol.bittorrent.rarest_first_cutoff <num> (default: 4)
The number of pieces to obtain before
switching piece selection strategy from random to rarest first.
protocol.bittorrent.allow_blacklist [0|1] (default: 1)

peer info in compact format. Note, the compact format only supports IPv4
addresses.
protocol.bittorrent.tracker.interval <num> (default: 0)
The number of seconds to wait between
periodically contacting the tracker for announcing progress and requesting
more peers. Set to zero to use the interval requested by the tracker.
protocol.bittorrent.tracker.ip_address <str> (default:
"")
What IP address to report to the tracker. If
set to "" no IP address will be sent and the tracker will
automatically determine an appropriate IP address.
protocol.bittorrent.tracker.key <str> (default: "")
An additional identification that is not
shared with any users. It is intended to allow a client to prove their
identity should their IP address change. It is an optional parameter, but some
trackers require this parameter. If set to "" no user key will be
sent to the tracker.
protocol.bittorrent.tracker.numwant <num> (default: 50)
The maximum number of peers to request from
the tracker. Set to 0 to use the server default.
protocol.bittorrent.tracker.min_skip_size <num> (default: 20)
The minimum number of peers to have in the
current peer info pool before skipping requesting of more peers. I.e. setting
numwant to zero. Set to 0 to not have any limit.
protocol.bittorrent.peerwire (Peer-wire)¶
Lowlevel peer-wire options. protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.connections <num> (default: 55)The maximum number of allowed connections to
both active and non-active peers. By increasing the number of allowed
connections, the chance of finding good peers to download from is increased.
However, too many connections can lead to TCP congestion. If the maximum is
reached all new incoming connections will be closed.
protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.max_message_length <num> (default:
8388608)
The maximum length of messages to accept over
the wire. Larger values will cause the connection to be dropped.
protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.max_request_length <num> (default:
8388608)
The maximum length to allow for incoming
requests. Larger requests will cause the connection to be dropped.
protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.request_length <num> (default: 16384)
How many bytes to query for per request. This
is complementary to the max_request_length option. If the configured length is
bigger than the piece length it will be truncated.
protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.timeout <num> (default: 300)
The number of seconds to wait before closing a
socket on which nothing has been received or sent.
protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.pool_size <num> (default: 55)
Maximum number of items in the peer pool. The
peer pool contains information used for establishing connections to new peers.
Set to 0 to have unlimited size.
protocol.file (Local files)¶
Options specific to local browsing. protocol.file.allow_special_files [0|1] (default: 0)Whether to allow reading from non-regular
files. Note this can be dangerous; reading /dev/urandom or
/dev/zero can ruin your day!
protocol.file.show_hidden_files [0|1] (default: 1)
When set to false, files with name starting
with a dot will be hidden in local directory listings.
protocol.file.try_encoding_extensions [0|1] (default: 1)
When set, if we can´t open a file named
´filename´, we´ll try to open ´filename´ with some
encoding extension appended (ie. ´filename.gz´); it depends on the
supported encodings.
protocol.file.cgi (Local CGI)¶
Local CGI specific options. protocol.file.cgi.path <str> (default: "")Colon separated list of directories, where CGI
scripts are stored.
protocol.file.cgi.policy [0|1] (default: 0)
Whether to execute local CGI scripts.
protocol.fsp (FSP)¶
FSP specific options. protocol.fsp.sort [0|1] (default: 1)Whether to sort entries in directory
listings.
protocol.ftp (FTP)¶
FTP specific options. protocol.ftp.anon_passwd <str> (default: "some@host.domain")FTP anonymous password to be sent.
protocol.ftp.use_pasv [0|1] (default: 1)
Use PASV instead of PORT (passive vs active
mode, IPv4 only).
protocol.ftp.use_epsv [0|1] (default: 0)
Use EPSV instead of EPRT (passive vs active
mode, IPv6 only).
protocol.ftp.proxy (Proxy configuration)¶
FTP proxy configuration. protocol.ftp.proxy.host <str> (default: "")Host and port-number (host:port) of the FTP
proxy, or blank. If it´s blank, FTP_PROXY environment variable is
checked as well.
protocol.http (HTTP)¶
HTTP-specific options. protocol.http.accept_language <str> (default: "")Send Accept-Language header.
protocol.http.accept_ui_language [0|1] (default: 1)
Request localised versions of documents from
web-servers (using the Accept-Language header) using the language you have
configured for ELinks´ user-interface (this also affects
navigator.language ECMAScript value available to scripts). Note that some see
this as a potential security risk because it tells web-masters and the FBI
sniffers about your language preference.
protocol.http.compression [0|1] (default: 0)
If enabled, the capability to receive
compressed content (gzip and/or bzip2) is announced to the server, which
usually sends the reply compressed, thus saving some bandwidth at slight CPU
expense.
If ELinks displays a incomplete page or garbage, try disabling this option. If
that helps, there may be a bug in the decompression part of ELinks. Please
report such bugs.
If ELinks has been compiled without compression support, this option has no
effect. To check the supported features, see Help -> About.
protocol.http.trace [0|1] (default: 0)
If active, all HTTP requests are sent with
TRACE as their method rather than GET or POST. This is useful for debugging of
both ELinks and various server-side scripts — the server only returns
the client´s request back to the client verbatim. Note that this type of
request may not be enabled on all servers.
protocol.http.user_agent <str> (default: "ELinks/%v (textmode;
%s; %t-%b)")
Change the User Agent ID. That means
identification string, which is sent to HTTP server when a document is
requested. The ´textmode´ token in the first field is our silent
attempt to establish this as a standard for new textmode user agents, so that
the webmasters can have just a single uniform test for these if they are e.g.
pushing some lite version to them automagically.
Use " " if you don´t want any User-Agent header to be sent at
all.
•%v in the string means ELinks
version,
•%s in the string means system
identification,
•%t in the string means size of the
terminal,
•%b in the string means number of bars
displayed by ELinks.
protocol.http.bugs (Server bug workarounds)¶
Server-side HTTP bugs workarounds. protocol.http.bugs.accept_charset [0|1] (default: 1)The Accept-Charset header is quite long and
sending it can trigger bugs in some rarely found servers.
protocol.http.bugs.allow_blacklist [0|1] (default: 1)
Allow blacklisting of buggy servers.
protocol.http.bugs.broken_302_redirect [0|1] (default: 1)
Broken 302 redirect (violates RFC but
compatible with Netscape). This is a problem for a lot of web discussion
boards and the like. If they will do strange things to you, try to play with
this.
protocol.http.bugs.post_no_keepalive [0|1] (default: 0)
Disable keepalive connection after POST
request.
protocol.http.bugs.http10 [0|1] (default: 0)
Use HTTP/1.0 protocol instead of
HTTP/1.1.
protocol.http.proxy (Proxy configuration)¶
HTTP proxy configuration. protocol.http.proxy.host <str> (default: "")Host and port-number (host:port) of the HTTP
proxy, or blank. If it´s blank, HTTP_PROXY environment variable is
checked as well.
protocol.http.proxy.user <str> (default: "")
Proxy authentication username.
protocol.http.proxy.passwd <str> (default: "")
Proxy authentication password.
protocol.http.referer (Referer sending)¶
HTTP referer sending options. HTTP referer is a special header sent in the HTTP requests, which is supposed to contain the previous page visited by the browser.This way, the server can know what link did you follow when accessing that page. However, this behaviour can unfortunately considerably affect privacy and can lead even to a security problem on some badly designed web pages. protocol.http.referer.policy <num> (default: 3)Mode of sending HTTP referer:
protocol.http.referer.fake <str> (default: "")
•0 is send no referer
•1 is send current URL as referer
•2 is send fixed fake referer
•3 is send previous URL as referer
(correct, but insecure)
Fake referer to be sent when policy is
2.
protocol.https (HTTPS)¶
HTTPS-specific options.protocol.https.proxy (Proxy configuration)¶
HTTPS proxy configuration. protocol.https.proxy.host <str> (default: "")Host and port-number (host:port) of the HTTPS
CONNECT proxy, or blank. If it´s blank, HTTPS_PROXY environment
variable is checked as well.
protocol.nntp (NNTP)¶
NNTP and news specific options. protocol.nntp.server <str> (default: "")Used when resolving news: URIs. If set to the
empty string the value of the NNTPSERVER environment variable will be
used.
protocol.nntp.header_entries <str> (default:
"Subject,From,Date,Message-ID,Newsgroups")
Comma separated list of which entries in the
article header to show. E.g. ´Subject´ and ´From´. All
header entries can be read in the header info dialog.
protocol.rewrite (URI rewriting)¶
Rules for rewriting URIs entered in the goto dialog. It makes it possible to define a set of prefixes that will be expanded if they match a string entered in the goto dialog. The prefixes can be dumb, meaning that they work only like URI abbreviations, or smart ones, making it possible to pass arguments to them like search engine keywords. protocol.rewrite.default_template <str> (default: "")Default URI template used when the string
entered in the goto dialog does not appear to be a URI or a filename (i.e.
contains no ´.´, ´:´ or ´/´ characters), and
does not match any defined prefixes. Set the value to "" to disable
use of the default template rewrite rule.
protocol.rewrite.enable-dumb [0|1] (default: 1)
•%c in the template means the current
URL,
•%s in the template means the whole
string from the goto dialog,
•%0,%1,...,%9 mean the 1st,2nd,...,10th
space-delimited part of %s,
•%% in the template means
´%´.
Enable dumb prefixes – simple URI
abbreviations which can be written to the Goto URL dialog instead of actual
URIs – i.e. if you write ´elinks´ there, you are directed to
http://elinks.cz/.
protocol.rewrite.enable-smart [0|1] (default: 1)
Enable smart prefixes – URI templates
triggered by writing given abbreviation to the Goto URL dialog followed by a
list of arguments from which the actual URI is composed – i.e.
´gg:search keywords´ or ´gn search keywords for
news´.
protocol.rewrite.dumb (Dumb Prefixes)¶
Dumb prefixes, see enable-dumb description for details. protocol.rewrite.dumb._template_ <str> (default: "")Replacement URI for this dumbprefix:
•%c in the string means the current
URL
•%% in the string means
´%´
protocol.rewrite.smart (Smart Prefixes)¶
Smart prefixes, see enable-smart description for details. protocol.rewrite.smart._template_ <str> (default: "")Replacement URI for this smartprefix:
•%c in the string means the current
URL
•%s in the string means the whole
argument to smartprefix
•%0,%1,...,%9 means argument 0, 1, ...,
9
•%% in the string means
´%´
protocol.user (User protocols)¶
User protocols. Options in this tree specify external handlers for the appropriate protocols. Ie. protocol.user.mailto.unix.protocol.user._template_ (Template option folder)¶
Handler (external program) for this protocol. Name the options in this tree after your system (ie. unix, unix-xwin). protocol.user._template_._template_ <str> (default: "")Handler (external program) for this protocol
and system.
•%f in the string means file name to
include form data from
•%h in the string means hostname (or
email address)
•%p in the string means port
•%d in the string means path (everything
after the port)
•%s in the string means subject
(?subject=<this>)
•%u in the string means the whole
URL
terminal (Terminals)¶
Terminal options.terminal._template_ (Template option folder)¶
Options specific to this terminal type (according to $TERM value). terminal._template_.type <num> (default: 0)Terminal type; matters mostly only when
drawing frames and dialog box borders:
terminal._template_.latin1_title [0|1] (default: 1)
•0 is dumb terminal type, ASCII
art
•1 is VT100, simple but portable
•2 is Linux, you get double frames and
other goodies
•3 is KOI-8
•4 is FreeBSD
When updating the window title of xterm
or a similar terminal emulator, encode the title in ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1),
rather than in the charset used for other text in the window. Cyrillic and
other characters get replaced with Latin ones. Xterm requires this unless you
explicitly enable UTF-8 titles in it.
If this option does not take effect immediately, try switching to a different
page so that ELinks notices it needs to update the title.
terminal._template_.m11_hack [0|1] (default: 0)
Switch fonts when drawing lines, enabling both
local characters and lines working at the same time. ELinks uses this option
only if UTF-8 I/O is disabled and the terminal type is Linux or FreeBSD.
terminal._template_.utf_8_io [0|1] (default: 0)
Enable I/O in UTF-8 for Unicode terminals.
Note that currently, only the subset of UTF-8 according to terminal codepage
is used. ELinks ignores this option if the terminal codepage is UTF-8.
terminal._template_.restrict_852 [0|1] (default: 0)
Restrict the characters used when drawing
lines. Makes sense only with linux terminals using the cp850/852 character
sets.
terminal._template_.block_cursor [0|1] (default: 0)
Move cursor to bottom right corner when done
drawing. This is particularly useful when we have a block cursor, so that
inversed text is displayed correctly.
terminal._template_.colors <num> (default: 0)
The color mode controls what colors are used
and how they are output to the terminal.
Some modes may have been disabled at compile time. The Setup -> Terminal
options dialog lists the modes supported by this executable. If you select an
unsupported mode, ELinks uses 16 colors.
The color modes are:
terminal._template_.transparency [0|1] (default: 0)
•0 is mono mode, only 2 colors are
used
•1 is 16 color mode, uses the common
ANSI colors
•2 is 88 color mode, uses XTerm RGB
codes
•3 is 256 color mode, uses XTerm RGB
codes
•4 is true color mode, uses konsole RGB
codes
If we should not set the background to black.
This is particularly useful when we have a terminal (typically in some
windowing environment) with a background image or a transparent background
– it will be visible in ELinks as well (but ELinks document color
handling will still assume the background is black so if you have a bright
background you might experience contrast problems). Note that this option
makes sense only when colors are enabled.
terminal._template_.underline [0|1] (default: 0)
If we should use underline or enhance the
color instead.
terminal._template_.charset <codepage> (default: System)
Codepage of charset used for displaying
content on terminal. ´System´ stands for a codepage determined by a
selected locale.

means that the language will be extracted from the environment
dynamically.
ui.show_menu_bar_always [0|1] (default: 0)
Always show menu bar on the screen.
ui.show_status_bar [0|1] (default: 1)
Show status bar on the screen.
ui.show_title_bar [0|1] (default: 1)
Show title bar on the screen.
ui.startup_goto_dialog [0|1] (default: 1)
Pop up goto dialog in newly created tabs when
there´s no homepage set. This means also showing goto dialog on
startup.
ui.success_msgbox [0|1] (default: 1)
When you pressed a Save button in some
manager, this option will make sure that a box confirming success of the
operation will pop up.
ui.window_title [0|1] (default: 1)
Set the window title when running in a
windowing environment in an xterm-like terminal. This way the
document´s title is shown on the window titlebar.
ui.clock (Clock)¶
Digital clock in the status bar. ui.clock.enable [0|1] (default: 0)Whether to display a digital clock in the
status bar.
