I'm going to add a section to my web site about the Lynx browser and some of
the fun and useful things you can do with it at the command line, or along
with Perl, wget, etc., e.g.,

$ lynx -dump "http://tips.webdesign10.com" >file1.txt

or

$ lynx -dump -image_links "http://whatever-site" | egrep -o
"http:.*(gif|jpg)" | wget -xi -

My site is at:
http://tips.webdesign10.com

I'm writing the new page now. I'm not an advanced Lynx (or Linux) user but
I've been learning about it and want to share the information on my web
site. I think Lynx is a useful and fun tool but not very many people know
about it.

If anyone knows of any entertaining or useful ways to use the Lynx browser
at the command line or in Perl, can you post them here? (e.g., SEO or other
practical uses) I'll give credit and a link to your site if I use the
information on the page. (Alternatively, contact me through the form on my
web site.)

Thanks
