Lynx isn't very simple; and I don't think there is "the" way.

For a simpler browser, you probably should have a look at the W3C
(ex-CERN) Line Mode Browser.  See <URL:http://www.w3.org/> and follow the
"Libwww" link.  I don't know how functional that "example application"
currently is, but there is documentation on the "Libwww Architecture".
Some of that also still applies, somewhat, to parts of the Lynx source
derived from an earlier libwww version.
