There is still the "References" URI section at the bottom, no? You could exchange the [NO] tags in the text with the full URL. Or, you could generate OSC-8 links for the [NO] things that point to the References section (ie ^O^O in a newer less(1), then), from which you could then jump off. *OR*. Thomas Dickey could implement OSC-8 links in just that way i just mentioned, in the -dump mode, at least. That would be cool, if the ^O series of less(1) would work in that mode. It is, btw, a shame that groff did not accept my mdocmx(7) extension, i could not live without OSC-8 links, so i need local patch; however, less(1) has finally accepted it, after over a decade, and it is just rocking to have URL-style navigation within less(1)! Yes, Thomas Dickey, OSC-8 "link" support in -dump mode would be overly cool! --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
