Yes, both local file, FTP, SMB and gopher generates HTML for showing directories. > Using MIME/mailcap seems to be inappropriate here, since AFAIK there's > no way to give HTML code back to ELinks window.

However, it would be great to fix bug 121 and finally allow the output from MIME handlers to be displayed directly in ELinks. If you have ideas for solving it please contribute to http://bugzilla.elinks.or.cz/show_bug.cgi?id=121 One problem with the mailcap way, I suppose, is that you cannot specify the MIME-type of what comes out for copiousoutput.

Some internal (and scriptingless) way of making hooks for preformatting should also be considered, IMO. -- Jonas Fonseca _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list [email protected] http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
