It's a problem with the slang colour code - it doesn't "know" about links
that are coloured differently. eg <a href="a"><em>Test</em></a> will be
coloured in the EM colour (magenta), but then unpainted in the unselected
link colour (yellow) because the Lynx screen code isn't designed for things
like that[1].
Needless to say, my code works (mostly) properly... ;-)
[1] The problem being that by the time Lynx gets round to painting the
link on the screen, it's forgotten that there was an <em> inside the
link. ;-/
ObUpload: My development version will be available on the web later today.
Be warned: it's development code, and is therefore horrible to
look at, and it prints a lot of crud to stderr by default
